## Summary

ZERA is an alternative user interface that lets people reclaim NFTs and tokens still held in Zora's Ethereum mainnet contracts after Zora deprecated the interface for auctions and trading. The page says WETH, stablecoins, ERC-20 tokens from past bids, and thousands of NFTs remain escrowed in those abandoned contracts. Since October 22, 2025, the tool reports 0 of 758 market bids settled, 0 of 158 auctions settled, and 0 of 3061 escrowed NFTs reclaimed. The tool is made by uint.studio, is open-source, and charges no fee beyond gas, though donations are accepted.

Reclaim what’s

yours, truly.

Zora deprecated its user interface for NFT auctioning and trading on Ethereum mainnet, leaving users’ assets trapped. Get them back now.

The Plan

Web3 doesn’t stand still: it evolves, it mutates, it leaves fossils behind. Nonetheless, blockchains are immutable state-recording memory machines.

Zora emerged on the New Year’s Eve of 2020 as a new place for collective value capture on the Internet. Beyond just another media platform, it became one of the great places for NFT creation and circulation. The tide was high:

people begging for invites,

5-figure sales,

memetic bid wars. Some tokens from this (now clearly) mania phase even crossed the trad-art border into

Christie’s

and

Sotheby’s

auctions.

But evolution is relentless. As Zora shifted its orbit (now focused onshitcoinsmemecoinscontentcoinscreatorcoins) the contracts that once carried this golden age were abandoned, after their UI was taked down. WETH, stables, ERC-20`s from past bids; and thousands of NFTs are currently escrowed inside those contracts. A buried layer of fungies and non-fungies sealed inside fossilized chests - waiting to be unearthed.

Until now.

FUNDS ARE SAFU 🙏

Was this a web2 startup, these funds would have been long gone. But thanks to the beauty of decentralization, and some sleuthing, digging, and testing, we were able to create this alternative UI, enabling you to recover your assets.

GET YOUR ASSETS BACK!

As artists and developers ourselves, we think that it’s important that people regain access over these assets. There’s no charge (other than gas fees) to reclaim

WHAT’S ALREADY YOURS! But we happily accept donations on

zerazo...ra.eth

Donate

This alternate UI was made with love by

uint.studio, as an act of protocolized care towards a beautiful community of artists, collectors, and developers that helped to shape an early cryptomedia scene.

If you managed to reclaim assets that were trapped into Zora, please consider making a donation to
