wrote about Zoraganda in today's newsletter
right now, Zora creator coins don’t have inherent utility beyond acting as a donation vector or being flipped for profit
but a channel dubbed Propaganda, which was granted early access to Zora’s livestreaming feature, has built out a simple trading game using their creator token
ex-Base employee Bobby Thakkar is behind it
yes, Zora creator coins are customizable in the sense that you can declare/assign external utility to them
but i'm still wondering if Zora will continue to put the bulk of the work of making a token have utility on creators, or whether some gud features are coming at some point

ICYMI: Animoca is launching a blockchain for SAND
There's a lot of moving pieces here:
-Creator tokens can be generated + staked for yield
-SANDpoints
-Creator Points
-Patron vaults = loan pools creators/projects can pull from, liquidity providers earn points and yield
-Creator Vaults = supporting creators to unlock perks
Testnet expected Oct 14, vaults expected by next year.
