Zora Airdrop Causes BaseScan Instability, Raising Transparency Concerns

A surprise Zora airdrop has triggered instability on BaseScan, highlighting concerns around transparency and allocation fairness in the NFT space. The unannounced airdrop, which distributed tokens to early users based on a snapshot from January 2020 to April 2025, led to immediate sell pressure on the platform’s tokens and impacted BaseScan. While Zora claims the API data was for testing purposes, community members are raising concerns about the lack of prior communication regarding the airdrop.
