Indexed ZoraBlockchain Data

Zora is an Ethereum Layer 2 that has been producing blocks since 2023, built on the OP Stack and operated by the team behind the Zora minting protocol. It is an optimistic rollup: a sequencer orders transactions, batches go to Ethereum for data availability and settlement, and the chain runs the EVM unchanged, with two-second blocks and ordinary twenty-byte addresses. Gas is paid in ETH, and the network has no separate gas token. What makes it worth its own dataset is the traffic. Where a general-purpose L2 fills its blocks with swaps and lending calls, Zora exists to make issuing media cheap, so contract deployments, mints and NFT transfers dominate. Collections are deployed from factory contracts, and each mint carries a small fixed protocol fee divided several ways, between the creator, the parties who referred the collection and the collector, the first minter and Zora itself.

SonarX indexes blocks and headers, transactions and receipts, event logs decoded against contract ABIs, execution traces including internal value transfers, and token transfers and balances. The same normalized model is used on every chain SonarX covers, so a Zora collection can be compared with the same creator’s activity on another network without reconciling two schemas first.

Full historical coverage is available today as a data-share or a file delivery. Real-time delivery is enabled on request. Balance tables and the balance APIs can be enabled for Zora on request. Kafka streaming can be enabled for Zora on request.

An NFT-first chain stresses different parts of a pipeline. New collections appear constantly and are deployed from factories, so ABI resolution has to follow each new contract back to the implementation it copies, or its mints decode as unlabeled calls. ERC-1155 issuance emits single and batch events covering several token IDs at once, so a row count is not a token count. The money is the subtle part. A mint fee does not move to the creator when the mint happens: it accrues to a balance in a rewards contract and is withdrawn later. Creator earnings are what accrued minus what has been claimed, a reconciliation rather than a sum of payments.

The work here is about people and collections rather than positions. Collector analysis is the common request: which addresses mint early, which follow a creator across collections, and which appear only for one drop, all of which need the full mint history rather than a recent window. Creator revenue accounting is the second, reconstructing what a mint actually paid out once the split is resolved. Marketplace and royalty analysis is the third, following secondary transfers to see whether a collection trades at all after issuance. Wallet analytics covers the address-level side of that work across chains, and teams usually pull Base alongside Zora because collectors move between them.

Tell us the delivery target, how far back you need and how fresh it has to be, and the share is scoped against that. Zora history is available now, and a collection arrives with its whole mint record rather than a recent window of it. The published coverage matrix for every network SonarX indexes lives in the data documentation, and the rest of the catalogue is at all indexed chains.
