Social network platform Zora is expanding into the artificial intelligence (AI) market. Zora aims to assist creators, artists, and brands in monetizing their content through non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The platform, built on the Optimism blockchain, has seen over $300 million in secondary sales and over 4 million NFTs minted since its founding in 2020. Zora aims to integrate crypto and AI technologies, as both benefit from having information on-chain. The platform recently launched AI-powered minting capabilities, allowing creators to generate images almost instantly. Zora believes that blockchains can help verify and authenticate the ownership of creations, increasing transparency.
