Gm Zappers,

Another week of cooking with gas. As we approach our grand opening aka. mainnet launch next week, our chefs have been busy on all stations. Here's a quick rundown of what we're plating (no more cooking references, promise):

• KYC & Doxx feature for permissionless launches

• Smart Contract Updates

• Vesting UI

KYC & Doxx

ZAP Launch is a platform for permissionless launches where a diverse range of projects an investors connect. Naturally, different projects and investors have different requirements and appetite for risk. On the smart contract level, we've incorporated investor assurances such as clear visibility around liquidity lock and its duration.

To add another layer of transparency, we’ve built a KYC and Doxx feature that takes a super straightforward process: Founders complete a quick KYC with an integrated service provider and send a video recording from an official social channel to the ZAP team to get doxxed. This entire process is fully integrated into the creator dashboard on ZAP. Upon successful KYC and Doxx, projects earn a badge that is clearly visible on their launch pool.

Smart Contract Updates

We've made significant updates to our permissionless smart contracts this week before sending them off for audit with Zokyo. Our smart contracts on ZAP Launch now include:

• ETH raises to allow deploying token/ETH pairs to LPs

• Creation of reflection token with variable buy & sell tax (the proceeds are distributed to token holders)

• Variable LP creation delay after a raise has been completed (up to 7 days)

• Liquidity locker for projects to auto-lock their liquidity for any chosen timeframe on their preferred DEX

• Vesting mechanism for tokens to vest up to twelve months

• Variable vesting percentage for the first vesting point

• Vesting frequency by the minute, daily, weekly, monthly

Vesting UI

All the above changes necessitated slight tweaks to our UI for parameter setting. However, creating a suitable UI for vesting required a more substantial overhaul. Our boy badger created a two clean and user-friendly solutions:

1. A new tab where token creators can set their vesting schedule

2. A corresponding dashboard for investors to see all the necessary details of a token’s vesting: progress, each vesting point with details, start and end date, etc. All launches on ZAP will vest via the vesting dashboard, ensuring users don't have to switch between multiple platforms to access their tokens.

Bugs

The community response to our Bug Bounty programme has been off the chain! We’ve had hundreds of bugs reported and the quality of reports has been fantastic, with nearly all reports containing a video recording or jam.dev link, making it super easy to fix them.
