What is Zapper?
Zapper is a social web3 explorer which allows users to track positions, follow others and discover opportunities across NFTs, DAO and DeFi.
Zapper products
Below are the list of products in the Zapper ecosystem
Dashboard
The most important product of Zapper is the dashboard. This “all-in-one” dashboard has many features including:
-
My Profile tab
-
Feed tab
-
NFT/ DeFi/ DAO tabs
-
Swap tab
-
Bridge tab
-
Address book tab
My Profile tab
My profile tab lets users track their positions on multiple chains and platforms. Right now, Zapper supports 11 chains with hundreds of apps and thousands of assets (both token and NFTs) and this number is growing daily. With Zapper, users can track everything from a single dashboard and say goodbye to problems like missing farming positions, not keeping up with their health factor in lending protocols, and many more.
Besides tracking their positions. users can also track other wallets. They can easily look at what assets a person has, what influencers are buying, whether whales are dumping their assets and many more.
Feed tab
Feed tab leverage the power of DeFi and gamification. It turns usual on-chain action into a game in which users can earn exp and receive rewards. Right now feed tab is closed but we can look forward to a new season that will begin soon.

NFT/ DeFi/ DAO tabs
The best part doesn’t stop there. Zapper has developed 3 exclusive dashboards that help users explore 3 niches DeFi, NFT, and DAO with ease. In these dashboards, users can find key metrics and highlight projects or people in that niche. Users won’t need to deep into many resources to find good things to follow.
Swap & Bridge tab
Swap tab lets users swap assets in multiple chains and Bridge tab lets users transfer assets across multiple chains. Imagine if you see a token you forgot on Avax C-chain, you can quickly swap it for ETH and send it to Ethereum.
Of course, there are dapps that are better when doing that task today. Hope we can see Zapper team combine the features and release bridge aggregators (like Debridge, Li.Fi,...) to maximize the convenience for users when using Zapper.
Address book tab
Address book tab is a feature to utilize users following. Every wallet users follow will appear in Address book. Users can create bundles to track more effectively, for example, you can put top NFT investors in one bundle and name it NFT apes.
Zapper Studio
Zapper studio is a way for web3 builders to easily create and submit app integrations to Zapper, so tokens and protocol positions seamlessly show up in a user’s portfolio, both on Zapper’s web app, mobile app and on the sites that leverage Zapper APIs for their own experiences. Zapper Studio will be the key to leveraging the power of community and keeping the app up with the tremendous expansion of the DeFi & web3 ecosystems.
If you are interested in integrating with Zapper, you can start at this GitHub. Zapper is moving all existing app integrations written by the Zapper Core team into a new open repo on Github, for anyone to view, fork and improve.
Zapper Mobile App
Zapper also has a mobile app that helps users to use Zapper products with their mobile phones. The mobile app contains almost every core feature of the desktop version so users don’t need to be afraid of the difference.

4/ Zap feature
-
Zapper has deprecated the Zap feature because of high difficulty and cost
-
Other solutions are being explored.
-
First is to leverage Zapper into a one-stop application where users can not only track but can also interact with other dapps. (Farming, Lending,...). This will be performed in a more traditional way (direct farming) rather than the need to deposit and withdraw assets like before
-
Second is Account Abstraction, this is a cool concept to make crypto users' experience to the next level. Imagine you can do multiple txs and just need to sign 1 txs.
Wen? - TBD
5/ Zappy MC

- Merchs are also being considered 👀
Wen? Late Q4 2022 - Q1 2023
