Timeline of DZap: Our Journey from Batch Swaps to DeFi Singularity
November 12th, 2024

DZap started in 2022 with a simple vision: to make crypto transactions easier. We launched during a challenging bear market, aiming to provide a more efficient experience for users who were navigating a complex and volatile landscape. With a lean team, limited resources, and an ambitious vision, we laid the foundation for a product that has grown and evolved significantly over the years.

The Early Days: Batch Swaps & Initial Integrations

Our first feature was Batch Swaps, which allowed users to buy or sell multiple tokens in a single transaction. It was an innovation designed to simplify trading and reduce transaction costs. At launch, we integrated just one DEX aggregator, 1inch, across 3-4 chains. Despite being at a nascent stage, Batch Swaps received positive feedback from the community, proving the need for simplified transactions.

Building on this early success, we introduced the Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) feature, which enabled users to buy tokens periodically. It was a small but significant step towards making DeFi more accessible and flexible for users looking to accumulate assets over time, regardless of market conditions.

The Realization: The Need for Better Aggregation

As DZap matured, it became evident that relying on a single aggregator was limiting the product’s efficiency. To address this, we shifted our focus to developing a comprehensive DEX aggregator, integrating over 30+ DEXs across 15+ chains. This upgrade not only improved transaction speed but also ensured users always received the best rates.

With the DEX aggregator in place, we combined it with Batch Swaps to enhance the overall DeFi experience. The results were promising—users had access to better liquidity, faster execution, and more seamless transactions.

Solving the Next Challenge: Bridging Across Chains

The next big challenge was bridging liquidity across chains. We recognized that moving assets from one chain to another was cumbersome and fragmented. So, we built what we believe is the best Bridge Aggregator in the market, integrating 10+ bridges and supporting liquidity movement across 13+ EVM and non-EVM chains. Our focus was to provide users with a seamless experience while moving assets across ecosystems, all within a single interface.

Millions in Volume, Thousands in Community

Over the years, DZap has processed millions in volume, attracting thousands of users. It’s been a remarkable journey of growth, made possible by a passionate community that believed in our vision. We navigated through the bear market as a bootstrapped product and are now well-positioned as we enter the bull cycle, ready to redefine DeFi for everyone.

Looking Ahead: The DeFi Singularity Protocol

With our core features established, we’re excited about what comes next: building a DeFi Singularity Protocol. We envision a DeFi ecosystem that is not only advanced but also incredibly simple to use. Our guiding principle is “Simplifying DeFi,” which means reducing fragmentation, minimizing the need for navigation, and offering more accessibility and efficiency.

After months of research and understanding market dynamics, we refined our vision. DZap’s singularity protocol will merge zapping, aggregation, and seamless UX through AI integration.

How It All Comes Together

Here’s how DZap’s features will empower users:

  • Need to swap? Use Batch Swap, integrated with the best DEX aggregator.

  • Need to bridge assets? Use the same interface with the best bridge aggregator.

  • Want to move liquidity between protocols? Use our zapping feature for seamless transfers.

  • Want to earn more with less effort? Let AI do the heavy lifting.

  • Prefer to type your intent and let the platform handle the rest? Our IntentAI makes it happen.

The Future of DeFi Starts Here

DZap is at the forefront of building a unified DeFi experience that combines aggregation, zaps, and abstraction to make decentralized finance simpler than ever. We are committed to developing a DeFi ecosystem that is intuitive, efficient, and accessible to everyone—from seasoned DeFi users to newcomers exploring the space for the first time.

This is just the beginning….
