Zora · FinOps Profile

Zora Finops

FinOps framework definition for the Zora API surface. Zora's public APIs (NFT GraphQL API, Coins SDK REST API, Protocol SDK) are free to use with a free API key. There are no metered per-request charges published by Zora; cost exposure arises from on-chain gas fees when minting or transacting via the Protocol SDK, and from third-party node provider charges if teams choose premium RPC endpoints over the public shared node.

Zora Finops is the FinOps profile for Zora on the APIs.io network, aligned with the FinOps Foundation Framework.

It defines 3 billable meters, billed in ETH / USD, on a none (api) / per-transaction (on-chain) cycle, and pricing category free (api) / usage-based (on-chain gas).

The profile maps 9 FOCUS columns for cost-allocation reporting.

Tagged areas include NFT, Web3, Blockchain, Creator Economy, and Marketplace.
