ZAP Recap: Creator Fund, New Listing, Dynamic and More!

Gm Zappers,

Missed the recent news? Time for another ZAP recap… And a little teaser. From the Creator Fund, to staking updates and more, and we’ve also got our sights set on expanding accessibility in ways that push the boundaries of Web3—and cement ZAP as the go-to for token creators, memecoin fans, and everyone in between.

Let's jump in 👇

Staking Just Got Even Better 🔥

This week we officially dialled up the rewards on $ZAP staking and vaults over the next 90 days. Now is the time to maximize your stake with us. Here’s the breakdown:

• 72% Bonus Rewards for all stakers on top of current APY rates.

• Up to 57% APY on Vaults for extended stakers (3, 6, or 12 months).

• 25% Emissions Boost for vaults to supercharge returns over the next three months.

Take advantage of these limited-time boosts here.

Creator Fund Applications Now Open! 📝

In case you missed it, we’ve just opened applications for the ZAP Creator Fund. The ZAP creator fund is a support system for creators and teams who want to launch their tokens and grow their communities with ZAP.

Here’s what approved creators will get:

• Token Swaps: We'll swap $ZAP for community tokens launched on our platform, expanding holder bases and creating value for ZAP stakers.

• $ZAP Grants: Kollectiv will distribute prizes to their top traders on ZAP in November, rewarding engagement and building excitement.

• Marketing & Listing Support: From promo resources to strategic listing guidance, we’re here to help creators get visibility.

• LP Fee Sharing (Coming Soon): Top token holders will soon earn from DEX trading fees—a new way to share in the success of the ZAP ecosystem.

• Volume based rewards: For community leaders who bring their communities to trade and launch on ZAP!

We’re allocating a 1 Million $ZAP reward pool to this first season, but depending on activity and interest, we’ll be ramping it up to 3 million $ZAP!

Applications are open, so if you’re looking to build with ZAP, apply here!

Partnership with The Kollectiv 🤝

We’re teaming up with @kollectiv_io to bridge on- and off-chain communities to ZAP! Kollectiv, a tokenized membership platform led by Trading Lord (one of our very own angel investors), is dedicated to education, lifestyle, and community rewards.

Here’s what Kollectiv’s community can look forward to this month:

• $ZAP Prizes for Activity & Volume: The more trades, launches, and engagement, the more rewards Kollectiv members will earn.

• Exclusive Benefits for Creators: Kollectiv members launching on ZAP get even more resources to grow their communities

If you’re curious about bringing your own community into the ZAP ecosystem—drop us a DM on Twitter, or you may want to check out the creator fund info above 🫡

New Listing Alert: MEXC 🤝

We’re thrilled to announce our latest listing on MEXC!

As one of the top global exchanges, MEXC provides even more exposure and liquidity for the $ZAP community.

While this is our third listing next to Bybit and Gate, it certainly won’t be the last. Stay tuned for more news.

Dynamic.xyz Integration and the New ZAP Launch

Creating a seamless experience will be essential to making ZAP accessible to everyone—yes, everyone, even your grandmother. 👵

As we alluded to in our Q4 Roadmap Update, we’re integrating Dynamic.xyz to eliminate some of the usual friction points and make this a reality, all as part of our broader strategy.

This first part of this integration is now done, but there’s still much to add—expect to see the benefits come through with the fresh new ZAP Launch, which will feature:

• Social Sign-Ons: Users will soon be able to log in with social accounts, no wallet setup needed. Dynamic’s account abstraction will let us onboard Web2 users with ease, opening up memecoin launches and trading to anyone and everyone. Connect with anything from Instagram to Discord and more.

• Gasless Transactions: We’re working on bringing gas fees down to zero. Batching, transaction optimization, and gas sponsorship mean ZAP users won’t need native tokens just to cover gas—another big step in streamlining the experience.

• Gamification: It’s still a little to early to share, but we’ve got some exciting things coming that blend aspects from the $ZAP token, Launch, and Drops to create an even more hype memecoin trading ecosystem.

Currently the integration might look a bit empty, but you’ll soon see something more like this, with a wide array of ways to connect to ZAP so you can trade and launch effortlessly 👇

That's all for now! Really, we're just getting started, but one thing’s for sure: memecoin season is coming to Base, and ZAP will be your gateway to it.

Much love from the ZAP Team, and thanks for all the ongoing support.
