New Token Deployment Flow

One of our most important metrics at ZAP is time to deployment. We want cryptoheads to be able to deploy a token faster than memecoins can moon to 5x (my current record is 109s). With that in mind, it’s important we have a crystal clear flow with technically challenging bits, like liquidity routing and token variables, put together in plain english.

This week our resident lead full-stack, Badge, has been pouring over the token launch experience, fine tuning this feature like a well-oiled Porshe 997. I’m not about that lambo life.

• New token launch experience

• New exchange partners added (such as Thruster, see our announcement here)

• New review screen, to make everything crystal clear before you hit deploy

• Multi-step web3 approval process

  
  

Site Redesign

Ok, this is a spanky one. Behind the scenes over the last couple of weeks, we’ve been going through the product and really sweating our branding and market positioning. ZAP is a unique product in that it’s actually three products in one: ZAP Labs, Launch, and Drops (sorry I can’t reveal exactly what these 3 products do at this stage!)

Working with James, our UX designer, and Jamie, our UI lead, we’ve come up with a front end that absolutely slaps. Take a look below at our teaser video to get an idea of how it’s come together.

Prodigo, our senior front-end, has done the grunt work on this, getting everything pixel perfect

• 3 new product pages

• New homepage

• Mobile-first design

• Clean as hell account page

While we can’t yet completely reveal our re-design, check out a little teaser below.

Bugs

We are nearly ready for our public board, and should have our testnet ready for private testing as early as next week. However, in the meantime you can take a look at the beautiful bugs we squashed.

We are now gearing up for Operation Zero, our effort to get to a zero bug policy by March. This will mean all outstanding bugs are fixed and any new bugs will be fixed within 24 hours. From next week, we will spend two whole sprints (2 weeks) on nothing but bug fixes, as we are expecting a raft of reports from our community once we open up our public bug bounty programme.

This week in numbers

🔨 Bugs fixed: 20

🐞 Bugs outstanding: 59

That’s all for this week, see you next Friday

Love Carlo, Ralph, Francis, Salt, Prodigo, Xiao Xu & Badge (the ZAP product team)
