Overview
- Zapper announced on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, that it will cease operations and take zapper.xyz, its mobile apps and API services offline on August 3, 2026.
- The company said it examined multiple options before choosing an orderly wind-down rather than a sale or pivot.
- Zapper will email transition guidance to existing API customers to help them migrate integrations before the August 3 shutdown.
- Planned initiatives including the Zapper Protocol and a ZAP utility token, first revealed in June 2024, were not launched before the closure and appear to have been set aside.
- Launched in May 2020 from a merger of DeFiSnap and DeFiZap, Zapper grew to more than 2 million monthly users and routed over $13 billion in transaction volume at its peak, and competitors such as Zerion, DeBank, and De.Fi are likely to absorb displaced users and API traffic.
