The MEME super cycle is coming, and the one-stop aggregation platform is in high demand!
Zaponchain provides a one-stop launch platform for high-quality projects through the aggregation of Launch, Labs, and Drops, helping users track and participate in early projects to obtain rewards!
This issue of the 【Web3 Roundtable】will take you in-depth into Zaponchain
Opening: It took Doge 4 years to break the $1 billion market cap, while BOME only took 3 days. Accepting on-chain meme coins rather than VC coins seems to have become the consensus of retail investors.
The seemingly worthless meme may be shouldering the responsibility of Mass Adoption, and meme coins have become the top priority for activating the public chain ecosystem.
Based on past bull market experience, the bull market is generally divided into three stages; Bitcoin rises; Bitcoin rises and then Ethereum rises, driving the rise of hot Altcoins. Finally, the cryptocurrency market enters a full-scale upward stage, and meme coins start to rise.
But in this cycle, the order of sector rotation seems to have been rearranged, with meme coins taking the lead. After the meme explosion, will the Altcoin season dominated by the so-called value coins still come? This is also one of the biggest concerns of retail investors.
Today, we are very honored to invite xiaoxu, a core member of the Zap project team. She will discuss with us how Zap shapes the new pattern of the meme launch platform, from the underlying logic to the market strategy. First, let the guest introduce herself.
Q1: Please briefly introduce ZAP and what pain points it has mainly solved?
A: Currently, Web3 participants need to go to different platforms to do different things, such as Launch Token, discover new projects, and participate in Airdrop. Zap's vision is to become a one-stop aggregation platform that can meet the needs of both developers and users! The process from project creation to Airdrop, community building, operation, and token issuance is actually a long one. General platforms may not have continuous follow-up services after completing Airdrop tasks or interactive tasks, but Zap will track and help users stay informed of project dynamics in a timely manner. In this way, through the Zap platform, start-up projects can quickly accumulate users and improve user stickiness. And users can discover new high-quality projects in Zap in a timely manner and continuously obtain updates from a single platform, which helps users save time and attention costs. Therefore, Zap is an aggregation platform that connects high-quality projects and loyal users to achieve a win-win situation!
Q2: What are the core functions and products of ZAP, and do we have the opportunity to deeply participate in the construction of ZAP as ordinary users?
A: It is mainly divided into two parts. The first part is: Drops Drops can help users better experience and participate in high-quality early-stage projects and obtain Airdrops. Zap not only considers the contribution brought by users' social connections, but also considers users' on-chain behavior, and users with more contributions will receive more incentives. And the Airdrop will not be a one-time thing, it will first help users understand the project, and then explore deeper incentives and more in-depth and long-term contributions, achieving long-term sustainability and truly binding with real Web3 users. The second part is: Launch After the project enters the token launch stage, it can conduct a decentralized launch in Launch, not only for meme coins, but even for users who want to issue their own community tokens, they can easily do so in Launch! These two parts are core products that ordinary users can deeply participate in, with low thresholds and relatively high expected returns.
Q3: In 2024, meme coins became the hottest investment target in the cryptocurrency market. How does the ZAP team view the phenomenon of the meme explosion?
A: Now retail investors don't want to hold VC coins, the deeper definition of MEME coins is actually rebellion, and they are also really fun. I think meme coins with very high resonance and heat actually have very strong virality. On the surface, the explosion of meme is accidental, but in fact it is the necessity of the current situation. The market has its own evolutionary process, and it is best to accept the trend and follow the trend!
Q4: ZAP's core product Launch provides a one-stop service for the launch of meme coins. In view of the current market trends, what other layouts or plans does ZAP have?
A: Our main layout and planning is to adapt to the needs of the market and users more quickly. To build Zap into a more comprehensive one-stop platform! Whether it's the fair launch of MEME coins, the development of the ecosystem, the token launch of projects, the user experience on the platform, improving the UI/UX to reduce the threshold, how to attract Web2 users to enter Web3 through Zap, etc., these are the key areas we will focus on improving in the future.
Q5: ZAP has raised $15.1 million in funding from well-known capital, including Rarestone Capital, Cypher Capital, Sharding Capital and other well-known funds, as well as top investors such as Luca Netz of Pudgy Penguins, Larry Cermak of The Block, and Chelsea Jiang of Foresight Ventures. What do you think is the biggest highlight that attracts investors to ZAP?
A: Zap participated in the Big Bang competition of Blast, and was selected as one of the 47 winners out of 3,000 teams, with Zap winning the championship. Subsequently, through the event, Zap attracted more than 100,000 users to participate, and most of these users have already become long-term users of Zap. Zap can truly help the development of the Web3 ecosystem, and give back benefits to the community, providing real growth and value for the Web3 industry. Investment institutions and investors have seen the value and future potential of Zap, and have chosen to invest in Zap.
Q6: ZAP tokens have recently been listed on Bybit, Gate, and on-chain DEXs, and a staking program has also been launched. Can you give us the specific details of the staking? What benefits do staking users have?
A: The ZAP staking program aims to incentivize and reward the on-chain activities of ZAP token holders, and promote the growth of the entire web3 ecosystem. Staking $ZAP can bring users a series of benefits and rewards in the entire ZAP ecosystem. It includes three parts: Passive Staking Rewards
● Passive income: Earn stable monthly $ZAP distributions from the community treasury.
● External protocol earnings: Can receive Airdrops from projects launched in Zap Labs, including VC-backed and incubated projects.
● Memecoin upside (coming soon): Stakers will be able to share a small portion (1-2%) of the supply of each memecoin launched on ZAP, which can be claimed when the tokens are time-locked or upgraded to DEX.
Active Contribution Rewards
● Staking Quests (coming soon): Staked $ZAP users will be able to access exclusive quests with their own benefits, such as exclusive reward allocations.
● XP Multiplier (coming soon): Users who complete quests will receive a multiplier on all XP earned on the ZAP DROPS platform.
There are also a series of preferential benefits, including special benefits for Vault holders.
Q7: The token listing marks a new stage for ZAP. What are the team's future plans to maintain the long-term healthy operation of the project?
A: In addition to continuously optimizing and updating the products, we will also optimize the rights and interests of the community and holders. Including:
● Increase the daily rewards for Vault holders
● Increase the staking APY
● Buyback $ZAP
● FLEXX Airdrop
And more updates in the future
