Wondering how to grab the ZORA airdrop? Start here.

Quick question to hook readers: Do you have MetaMask Base ready?

Before you start, make sure you have a MetaMask wallet and that it is set to the Base network. If you do not, add Base to MetaMask first. This guide uses simple steps. It keeps things safe and clear. Keep your seed phrase private. Do not share it.

What this guide covers: claim ZORA, import ZORA token, and sell ZORA safely

You will learn how to claim your ZORA airdrop on the Base network. Then you will learn how to add the token to MetaMask and how to swap or sell it. We will name common tools: Relay, Jumper. We also mention advanced options like Hyperliquid and Zumx. Always check fees and risks before trading.

Short warning: Not financial advice — follow steps carefully

This guide is for help only. It is not investment advice. Trades can lose money. Be careful with new sites. If a page asks for your seed phrase, leave. Only connect your wallet to sites you trust. Read any disclaimer on the claim page before you accept.

Step 1: Open MetaMask and switch to the Base network. Copy your wallet address. Step 2: Go to the official claim page for the ZORA airdrop. Paste your EVM address into the claim box. The page will ask you to connect your wallet with a Web3 prompt. Click connect if you trust the page. You may see a beta or legal note. Read it and accept only if you agree.

Step 3: Click the claim or write button on the site. Your wallet will open a transaction request. Confirm it in MetaMask. The chain will index the transaction. This can take time when many people claim at once. Wait until the transaction shows as confirmed. After that, the ZORA tokens should be on your Base network account.

Step 4: If you do not see the token in MetaMask, add it manually. In MetaMask click the three dots then Import Tokens. Choose Custom Token and paste the official ZORA contract address. Do not paste addresses from unknown pages. Get the contract address from a trusted source like the official project site or a verified block explorer for Base.

Step 5: To move your tokens to a stable coin like USDC or to ETH, use a swap tool. Two easy choices are Relay and Jumper. Connect your wallet, pick ZORA as the sell asset, and pick the asset you want to get. Click Max if you want to sell all. Then approve and confirm the swap in MetaMask. Expect small fees. You may see a 1% slippage or fee range depending on the route.

| Platform | Best for | Typical fee / note | Risk level | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Relay | Simple swaps, UI for many tokens | Low to moderate; route-based | Low | | Jumper | Fast swaps on Base | Low; may show slightly better price | Low | | Hyperliquid | Leverage trading (short/long) | Trading fees + funding | High | | Zumx | High leverage trading | Higher fees; risky | Very High |

If you want to trade with leverage, platforms like Hyperliquid or Zumx offer it. These tools let you short or use leverage up to many times. They are riskier. You can gain more, but you can also lose more. Only use them if you know how margin and liquidation work.

  • Quick checklist: MetaMask on Base, copy address, connect to claim page, confirm claim tx, wait for indexing.
  • Import token if unseen: MetaMask → Import Tokens → Custom Token → paste contract address.
  • Swap with Relay or Jumper for simple swaps. Consider fees and slippage.
  • Be careful with leverage platforms. High risk.

Final tip: If you want to keep value stable, swap ZORA to a stable coin like USDC. That makes it easier to protect against sudden price drops. When you are ready, go claim your ZORA airdrop on the Base network and then decide if you want to hold, sell, or swap it.

Go claim your ZORA airdrop now and use a trusted swap like Relay or Jumper if you want to convert the tokens. Stay safe and double-check every address and prompt.

Before you start: tools and info you must have

Want to claim the ZORA airdrop? First, stop and check you have the right tools. This short list helps you avoid mistakes. Read it and get ready.

MetaMask (or EVM wallet) set to the Base network

Your EVM wallet address (copy it from MetaMask)

Open MetaMask and copy your wallet address. This is the address you will enter to claim. Keep it safe and do not share your secret phrase.

Contract address for ZORA (keep handy to import token)

Have the ZORA token contract address ready. You will need it to import ZORA token into your wallet after claiming. Save the contract in a note.

Internet access and small ETH/Base for fees

Make sure you have a working internet link and a small amount of ETH or Base for gas fees. Transactions need a tiny fee to go through.

When you have all four items, you’re ready. Go claim your ZORA airdrop and then sell ZORA or swap ZORA on Relay or Jumper if you want.

How to import the ZORA token so you can see it in MetaMask

Want to see your ZORA tokens in MetaMask? First, make sure you are on the MetaMask Base or the Base network. These steps let you import the token so you can check your balance, sell ZORA, or swap ZORA quickly.

Open MetaMask, click the three dots and choose 'Import tokens'

Open your MetaMask. Tap the three dots next to your account. Choose Import tokens. This opens a small form where you add a token address. Keep your wallet unlocked and on the Base network so imports work right away.

Paste the ZORA contract address (use the exact address provided)

Paste the exact ZORA contract address into the token address box. Use the exact address you have. MetaMask usually fills in the token name and symbol after you paste. If it does not, double-check the address and try again.

Click 'Add Custom Token' then 'Import' — now ZORA shows in your wallet

Click Add Custom Token, then click Import. The ZORA token will appear in your wallet list. Now you can claim ZORA, or go on to sell ZORA or swap ZORA using apps like Relay or Jumper on the Base network.

Ready? Go import the token now so you can see and manage your ZORA on MetaMask Base.

Want to sell your ZORA airdrop fast and safe?

Did you get the ZORA airdrop on the Base network? Do you want to turn it into a stable coin or ETH? This guide shows two easy ways to sell ZORA or swap ZORA. The steps use simple tools that work with MetaMask Base. Read on and then go swap your tokens.

Sell or swap: simple routes using Relay or Jumper

After you claim ZORA and import the token into your wallet, you can sell it. Two good options on Base are Relay and Jumper. Both let you trade ZORA for ETH or a stable coin like USDC. Both need you to connect your wallet and approve the token.

Relay: connect wallet, choose ZORA → ETH/USDC, set amount and approve

Open Relay on Base. Click connect and pick your MetaMask Base wallet. Choose ZORA as the token to sell. Pick ETH or USDC as the token to get. Put in the amount or click max. Then click approve. Approve opens a wallet pop-up. Confirm the approval. After that, confirm the swap. Wait for the network to finish the trade.

Jumper: alternative swapper on Base, similar steps, compare quotes

Jumper works the same way. Connect your wallet. Pick ZORA and the token you want. Jumper shows quotes from different routes. Compare the price and fees. Then approve ZORA in your wallet if needed. Confirm the swap. Jumper can sometimes give a slightly better price than Relay. It depends on market liquidity.

Fees and slippage: expect ~1% plus gas — choose stablecoin like USDC to reduce volatility

When you swap, expect small fees. Swaps on Relay or Jumper often cost around 1% in fees plus gas. Prices can move a bit while the trade goes through. That is slippage. If you want a steady value, swap to USDC. Stablecoins keep value steady. If you pick ETH, the amount can change with price swings.

Example flow: set max, approve in wallet, confirm swap and wait for completion

A simple example looks like this. On Relay or Jumper, click max to sell all your ZORA. Click approve in the site. Confirm the approve in your MetaMask Base. Then click swap. Confirm the swap in MetaMask. Watch the transaction in your wallet until it finishes. After it finishes, you will see the new token in your wallet.

| Feature | Relay | Jumper | | --- | --- | --- | | Connects with MetaMask Base | Yes | Yes | | Compare quotes | Good | Very good | | Typical fees | ~1% + gas | ~1% + gas | | Best for | Simple swaps | Best price finding |

Tip: If you don’t see ZORA in your wallet after claiming, use the contract address and import ZORA token manually into MetaMask. Then follow the steps above to sell ZORA or swap ZORA.

Want a quick finish? Go use Relay or Jumper now. Connect your MetaMask Base, pick ZORA → USDC or ETH, approve, and swap. That will let you lock in value fast and move on.

Advanced options (leverage) and important safety reminders

Want more control when you claim ZORA or sell ZORA? Some platforms let you use leverage. That can boost gains. It can also boost losses. These tools work on the Base network and in wallets like MetaMask Base. Be careful and read the steps first.

Hyperliquid: shorting options (e.g., 3x) — higher risk, higher control

Hyperliquid lets you short with about 3x leverage. Shorting means you bet the price will fall. You get more control but also more risk. Start small. Approve trades only when you understand the fees.

Zumx: higher leverage available (10x–20x) — very risky

Zumx can offer 10x to 20x leverage. That is very risky. Only experienced traders should use this. A small move can wipe your position fast. If you try it, use tiny amounts you can afford to lose.

Always double-check contract addresses and links; never share private keys

Always verify the token contract before you import ZORA token or swap ZORA. Do not share your private keys or seed phrase. Check site URLs and approvals. If unsure, approve a tiny amount first.

Reminder: the creator is not a financial advisor — trade only what you can afford

I am not a financial advisor. Do not risk money you cannot afford to lose. If you want to act now, go use tools like Relay Jumper or the leverage platforms with care. Keep trades small and stay safe.

| Platform | Max Leverage | Risk | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Hyperliquid | ≈ 3x | Moderate | Shorting with control | | Zumx | 10x–20x | Very high | Experienced, high-risk traders | | Relay / Jumper | No leverage (swap) | Low | Simple swap ZORA or sell ZORA |

Ready to claim? Do it now

Want to grab your share of the ZORA airdrop on the Base network? It is easier than it looks. This guide shows simple steps. Anyone can follow. No hard words. Just a calm click-by-click plan.

Go claim: connect MetaMask to Base, paste your address and hit Claim

First, open MetaMask Base in your browser. Make sure your wallet is set to the Base network. Copy your wallet address. Next, open the official claim page. Paste your address in the box that asks for an EVM address. Click the "Claim" button. The site may ask you to connect your wallet with a Web3 prompt. That is normal. You may also see a notice that the site is in beta. Read it and accept only if you are okay with that. When you click to claim, MetaMask will ask you to approve a transaction. Confirm it. Then wait. The site will show that it is indexing. This can take some minutes. After the chain confirms, the tokens appear on your Base account.

Be patient. Many people claim at the same time. If the page says your transaction is indexing, give it time. Do not refresh too fast. When the transaction finishes, you will see your ZORA tokens in MetaMask.

If you want to sell, import the token and use Relay or Jumper to swap to ETH/USDC

To see your tokens in MetaMask, you may need to import ZORA token manually. Open MetaMask. Click the three dots. Choose "Import tokens". Paste the token contract address. Add the token. Now you will see the balance on Base.

If you want to sell ZORA, use a swap service. Two simple choices are Relay and Jumper. Both work on the Base network. Connect MetaMask to the swap app. Pick ZORA as the token to sell. Pick ETH or USDC to receive. Click approve in MetaMask. Then click swap. You may see a small fee. Expect about 1% loss from fees and slippage. After the swap, you will have ETH or USDC on Base. From there you can send funds to other chains or keep them as stable coins.

If you want to trade more advanced ways, there are platforms that let you short or use leverage. For example, some users use Hyperliquid or Zumx. These are riskier. Use them only if you know what you do. This is not financial advice.

Links: use official claim page and verified contract address (insert link here)

Always use the official claim page. Also use a verified token contract address when you import the token. Do not trust unknown links or random contract code. When you import, double-check the address. A wrong contract can cost you funds. If you are not sure, stop and check sources you trust.

Quick tips: keep your MetaMask seed phrase private. Only approve transactions you expect. If a site asks for full access to your wallet, be careful. Use only the official claim page and known swap apps like Relay or Jumper.

| Platform | Main use | Fees & speed | Risk level | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Relay | Simple swaps on Base | Low to medium fees, fast | Low | | Jumper | Swaps and route finding | Low fees, fast | Low | | Hyperliquid / Zumx | Leverage, shorting | Higher fees, depends on leverage | High |

Here is a short checklist to finish fast. First, switch MetaMask to Base. Second, paste your address on the claim page and click claim. Third, confirm the transaction in MetaMask and wait for indexing. Fourth, import the ZORA token with the correct contract address. Fifth, choose a swap app like Relay or Jumper and swap to ETH or USDC if you want a stable coin. Sixth, if you use margin tools like Hyperliquid, know the risks.

  • Double-check the token contract address before importing.
  • Only use the official claim page to avoid scams.
  • Approve only the exact transaction you expect.
  • Wait for confirmations; do not spam transactions.
  • If unsure, do a small test swap first.

This guide uses simple steps to help you claim and handle the ZORA airdrop on the Base network. If you act now, you can claim and then decide to keep or trade your tokens. Go claim and decide what you want to do next.
