Gm Zappers!

There’s been a lot going on behind the scenes, from an exciting project launch ahead, to ongoing work on CTZN NFTs, and our expansion to Base.

To keep you all updated, we wanted to run through an overview of what we’re doing, and what you can expect in the coming months. Let’s take a look. 👇

Onwards to Base 🔵

As you might have guessed, we’re coming to Base… with two exciting campaigns! While we will continue to support Blast and Blast teams, our growth strategy necessitates embracing multiple networks to broaden our user base and hence work to secure top exchange listings.

So far, the support from Coinbase and Base has been instrumental, addressing some of the challenges we faced with Blast, which is a relatively new ecosystem. This means ZAP tokens will likely reside on Base, with bridges to Blast, ensuring seamless access and connectivity for our users.

ZAP 2.0 ⚡

As we expand to Base, we’ll also be showing off a whole new look for ZAP. We’re excited to soon unveil ZAP 2.0, with a refreshed branding and a brand new website with even better UI & UX.

Swing by zap.tech next week for the big reveal - for now, here’s a sneak peek. 👇

Korea Blockchain Week 🇰🇷

Kicking off September 1st, some of the team will be attending Korea Blockchain Week! The Korean community is our largest audience of Vault holders, so we’re committed to engaging with the Korean community, and also pushing to list on Korean exchanges to try and make ZAP accessible.

We hope to bring some exciting gifts to our Korean friends (and those visiting!) in September for KBW, where we’ll be partnered with one of the biggest consumer crypto companies in the world with multiple events planned. More info on this to come - users and Vault holders will be eligible for some special rewards as well.

ZAP Vault Update 🔓

ZAP vaults have played a crucial role in offering early users exposure to our tokens, with users vesting approximately 15% of tokens by the TGE. Vault holders can look forward to staking opportunities that enhance rewards, with our comprehensive tokenomics set to be released this month.

For full details, check out our gitbook.

Wen CTZN? 🌃

We know we’ve been pretty quiet about our CTZN NFTs. Current market conditions for NFTs have been unfavourable for a while now, so we decided to postpone the CTZN mint while we prioritize our TGE and work to ensure a successful ZAP listing.

However, we’ve still been working on this in the background, with our animation team preparing some exciting teasers for when when the mint date is confirmed, likely in late Q3 or early Q4. We’re also still committed to giving 10% of the CTZN supply to Vaults which will be airdropped directly to Vault holders.

'Launching' a New Product 🚀

It’s not just the ZAP website and brand getting a new make over - ZAP Launch is getting a whole new look and feel. ZAP Launch has been reimagined to offer instantly tradeable tokens on Blast and Base, allowing users to create tokens at minimal cost in just a few clicks.

By adopting a model similar to pump.fun, ZAP will be the go-to place for frictionless token launches. We’ve built in some kickass tools for this launch to enable people to trade safely, including the ZAP Value Index. Expect to see much more from this by Tuesday next week.

Focus on TGE & Base Ecosystem 📝

We know many of you - especially the Vault holders - have been waiting incredibly patiently for details of the launch of the ZAP token. Behind everything we’re doing right now is a complete focus on the TGE, which is why we’re actively engaging with the Base ecosystem to demonstrate success on multiple blockchains.

The success of Gigadrops on Blast has opened doors for us with Tier 1 exchanges, and while not a certainty, we’re expecting to announce a listing date within the next 30 days, coinciding with our exciting new Base campaigns. We learned a lot from Gigadrops on Blast, and we’re excited to take this forwards to Base. ⚡

As always, thanks to all of you for your ongoing support - we can’t wait to show you what August brings.
