My personal Creator Coin has officially launched on the $ZORA social crypto platform. The token, Mr Lightspeed Creator Coin (ticker: $MRLIGHTSPEED), has already achieved significant milestones. It is now tracked with verified data on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, and it has climbed into Zora’s Top 20 creator coins by market capitalization, even entering the Top 10. The overarching goal is to effectively blend social media with on-chain economics.
A Creator-First Model on Zora
$ZORA is a blockchain social network specifically designed to foster the creator economy. My profile features a Creator Coin, and any post I publish has the capability to mint a Content Token that is directly tied to that profile. The entire ecosystem operates on Base, which is Coinbase’s Layer-2 solution for Ethereum, providing robust security and scalability. Trading activities are facilitated within Uniswap v4 liquidity pools that utilize “hooks” to enable dynamic fees and creator rewards in a permissionless market environment.
For MRLIGHTSPEED, I am adhering to Zora’s standard tokenomics, which include a total supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. Fifty percent (500 million) of this supply is immediately available for trading. The remaining 50% is reserved for ecosystem benefits and vests linearly over a period of five years. This vesting is realized through protocol functions and accrues with trading activity, thereby aligning my incentives with the maintenance of a healthy and active community.
Key Milestones and Early Performance
- •Verified listings: The coin is now live on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko with a verified circulating supply in the mid-400 million range. This allows individuals to view accurate market cap and supply data. Currently, I am the sole content creator from the Zora community to have a verified supply on CMC.
- •Top 30 on Zora: With a market cap in the mid six figures, the coin has already secured a position among the 30 largest on the platform. The leading creator coins on Zora have achieved multi-million market caps, indicating a rapid approach to that level.
- •Momentum: Since its launch on October 28, 2025, the price performance and trading activity have been consistently strong. This includes multiple days with double-digit gains and steady 24-hour volume in the tens of thousands of dollars. We have garnered hundreds of holders already and frequently appear among the top gainers on influencer-token tracking platforms.
Community, Education, and Utility
Education is a primary focus. I regularly publish trading primers, guides on margin risk, and research updates, alongside content related to my 27 years of military service in the US Air Force. On Zora, each post has the potential to become a token, transforming social engagement into on-chain signals that are readily visible. Holding MRLIGHTSPEED provides tangible benefits. Holders have been offered conference perks, such as discounted or complimentary passes to events like Blockchain Futurist. Furthermore, I engage with holders for on-site project discussions and offer free advisory sessions. Plans are also in place for token-gated office hours and feedback loops, enabling highly engaged community members to influence future developments. I actively moderate panels and speak at these conferences.
This initiative represents SocialFi with a defined purpose. Functioning similarly to a programmable Patreon membership, the creator coin allows supporters to actively participate in the brand's and content's growth, while the creator receives rewards from trading activity. My standard is to emphasize clarity and compliance, with a consistent reminder to "Do Your Own Research" and that no promises are made. This is presented as a community and utility token, a mechanism for engagement, learning, and rewarding participation within the framework established by Zora.
What’s Next
The immediate objective is to break into Zora’s Top 10, which is estimated to require approximately $750,000 in market cap. I will continue to roll out an educational roadmap for holders, which will include short courses, regular Q&A sessions, and a private forum for in-depth discussions. As Zora and Base introduce new features, these will be automatically integrated into the existing framework, simplifying management. I am open to collaborations with other creators for cross-promotions or token swaps that offer mutual benefits to both communities.
Mission: To build an informed community centered around disciplined trading and open creator economics.
Reminder: Do Your Own Research. There are no promises or guarantees. Education and community are the top priorities.
