Who he is

Jacob Horne is a co-founder of Zora. He is one of the loudest voices behind the "free-to-mint, open-edition" model that Zora popularized — the pattern that made NFT minting feel more like posting than buying.

The thesis

Horne has consistently pushed the framing that NFTs are not collectibles but a new form of onchain media. Every post is a mint, every mint is a share, value flows back to creators and referrers.
