Zora, a token launch path on the Ethereum Layer-2 network base of Coinbase, was good for more tokens made than Solana’s Big Hitters Pump.Fun and Letsbonk on Monday.
Last month, Zora created around 6,500 tokens every day, per dune data, but on Monday it exploded to a record high of 51,575 tokens made in one day. For comparison: Letsbonk has made 22,554 and Pomp.fun only 4,173 – with Zora accounting for 67.7% of all token creations based on base and solana.
“This is the first time since the beginning of 2023 that a chain has launched more tokens than Solana,” tweeted Coinbase director Conor Grogan.

The market share of Pump.Fun has significantly shrunken since the beginning of the year, with Rival Platform Letsbonk surpassing Solana Token Creations. Now Zora, a platform for social media that turns every message into a token, has exceeded both platforms after massive growth.
After the launch of January 2024, Pump.Fun soon became the go-to app in Crypto, who spawned nearly 5 million tokens by the end of the year. To put that in perspective, Etherscan can only find 1.6 million ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum.
“What’s strange is that these are not only bots that launch tokens,” tweeted Defi’s head, just known as Johnny,. “These are users who make content. And instead of the content that becomes viral and then token and is traded.”
Adam TeHC, Data analyst and maker of Dune Dashboard, told earlier Decrypt That he believes that of the top 50 most profitable pump. Wallets, according to his dashboard, is only one of them a human – the renowned Trader Cupsey.
Wallets checked by bots, explained TEC, massive implementation tokens, buys the range at the launch and pull it within a few minutes or seconds. In January, a trader took $ 840,000 in three months by creating 17,000 tokens and selling their stock within a few seconds.
The strategy only became more profitable with the implementation of the function for sharing the makers that split part of the trading costs with the Token implementation.
Zora vs Pump.Fun
Zora is a completely different platform for pumping. Fun. Instead of creating tokens because of it, Zora changes every message on the social media platform in a token on the base. Traders then buy and sell the mail, essentially bet on his virality – in this sense it is comparable to Pomp.Fun.
Although BOT activity on Zora is still possible, his fans and makers claim that the platform encourages authentic messages to perform better. On Pump.Fun, part of the charm is that everything is crazy, funny or relevant can shoot.
For example, the Pump.Fun created Tsunamiinu Coin peaked on Wednesday on a market capitalization of $ 16 million when news spread from a tsunami in Hawaii. It was launched by a wallet that created more than 370 coins, many of which are relevant and are duplicates of the wallet’s own tokens.
Scrolling about the Zora feed, while there is occasionally a post that seems low effort, most messages are art or apparently real images of daily life.
One of the most successful projects on Zora is Lemonade Stand by artist Jack Butcher. The 10-part artwork initially showed the prices of $ 1,000 to $ 0.00001, but was recently changed into slices of a pie chart. It has surprised spectators, but busy with the piece.
“At least Jack always tries something else,” tweeted Pseudonymous Trader Conficient. “I believe he is on the Stream of Threadguy tonight, wonder if cool mechanics will be announced.”
