1. rebranded @zora from creator coins on base to attention markets on solana isn't an attention market innovation
it's a memepad wearing an infofi hoodie
the core mistake: market cap != attention
zora's framing still leans on the memes mental model:
- launch a token for a trend/moment
- number go up = attention is up
but attention isn't mc. attention is a flow
otherwise u get closed reflexive loop: attention -> ppl buy -> mc rises -> platform labels it 'more attention' -> more ppl buy
=> u don't get truthful price discovery about attention. you're trading exit liquidity on vibe
projects that feel closer to attention-as-an-asset are things like @noise_xyz @TrendleFi
2. right now there's a massive social demand for opinion markets: ppl want a way to price narratives, reputations, risk, credibility
and yet most 'opinion market' attempts fail because they're just:
- prediction market trading design (dead 0.5 middle)
- memepad mechanics with a new label (like attention)
to make opinion markets work we need a fundamentally different primitive
