In July 2025, a single tweet sparked what would become one of the most innovative in the Zora ecosystems from Nigeria. In the tweet, Jesse Pollak, the founder of Base, put out a Request for Builders (RFB) and within two days, Zora Terminal launched.
Zora Terminal aggregates and tracks all Zora-based tokens in real time, giving users a comprehensive view of the market and, more importantly, making it simple to discover, monitor, and trade tokens seamlessly.
From an idea to 10,000+ users
After the launch of Zora Terminal, it didn’t take long for the product to stand out. In a matter of weeks, over 10,000 users had tried the platform.
The project’s metrics quickly reflected this momentum, reaching a $2.7M market capitalisation, and driving $3.5M+ volume to the base blockchain and $60,000 in revenue generated in the first few weeks alone. This performance put Zora Terminal ahead of competitors such as Zoracle ($1.6M volume, Nigeria-based) and TBD ($3.4M volume, US-based), positioning the project as globally competitive and innovative. Also, it got praise from the most influential people in the crypto ecosystem, such as Jesse Pollak & Jacob Horne (Founder of Zora). Also, being one of the top projects in the Zora ecosystem, highlighted by Zora on their website
The builder, Kosisochukwu Anyaegbuna
Behind Zora Terminal is a builder, Kosisochukwu Anyaegbuna, who has been contributing to the Base ecosystem for the past year, launching more than six different products with thousands of users. As a student, he was recognised by Airbus as a finalist in their biennial global competition. He also previously worked at Showtime Technologies, a US-based startup, as the Founding PM, shipping highly innovative products to a large userbase. For example, he shipped NFTs that unlocked presaves on Spotify, introducing a new way for artists to interact with their audience, including a celebrity clientele like Shontelle and Daniel Allan. Since then, he has shipped several products in the base ecosystem. Each one carried lessons that fed into the next, culminating in Zora Terminal, which Anyaegbuna describes as the “Bloomberg Terminal for tokens in the Zora ecosystem”.
This trajectory highlights relentlessness about putting his ideas out into the world, showing how iterative building: rapidly testing, refining, and applying learnings can produce global-standard solutions from Nigeria’s crypto ecosystem.
What sets Zora Terminal apart
What sets Zora Terminal apart is that it is one of the first comprehensive trading platforms designed specifically for the Zora ecosystem. Competitors came after, and larger companies started integrating Zora-specific tools, but none as comprehensive as Zora Terminal. Unlike fragmented platforms, Zora Terminal aggregates the entire Zora protocol, giving users the first complete view of the ecosystem in one place. Traders get full access to tools designed for real-time discovery and decision-making.
For young professionals, advanced traders, and crypto-savvy individuals who want to stay ahead of the curve, this level of access makes Zora Terminal indispensable.
Just the beginning
Despite its strong start, Anyaegbuna says Zora Terminal is just scratching the surface. More innovative tools and user experiences are already in the works, designed to strengthen the platform’s role as the go-to hub for Zora-based and other crypto-associated trading activity.
As Nigeria continues to establish itself as a fertile ground for blockchain innovation, Zora Terminal serves as proof that world-class crypto infrastructure can be built here, impacting not just local users but the global blockchain community.
