We are proud to finally share a project that has been in development for almost a full year: Zapper V2. This upgraded version of Zapper intends to solve the challenges that builders, investors, artists, and adventurers find when navigating a new frontier of opportunity: web3.

The Problem with web3

The promise of web3 is that it gives people full control over their assets, empowering them with the freedom to do whatever they want with their time and money. This should be accompanied by full and clear access to information in the space.

In reality, the sheer volume of information available in web3 is overwhelming and complex, and it is growing exponentially. Besides that, most of the on-chain data remains disorganized, siloed, and inaccessible, making it hard to uncover meaningful opportunities.

Currently, web3 requires intense solo exploration. Even for those determined to take on the challenge, it is difficult to figure out what sources are reliable, and siloed information means that it is impossible to make connections and find patterns to guide decision-making.

Ultimately this means that everyone wastes effort and comes to conclusions based on insights that they cannot be sure about.

If web3 promises freedom, transparency, and permissionless control of your assets, who can you rely on for information to help you make smart decisions? Can web3 live up to its promise if the information on blockchains is only accessible to a select few who have the expertise necessary to read and interpret the data?

Our Solution: Zapper V2, Your web3 Explorer

To make it simple for people to interpret all of this complex information, to speed up learning, and to make people feel more confident making choices in web3, Zapper V2 surfaces all blockchain data and translates it into relatable information that anyone can read and explore.

Our dashboard now maps the links between NFTs, DeFi apps, DAOs, wallets, and tokens, allowing you to explore as deeply and widely as you want.

Maybe you want to join a DAO, but need to see how the core team and token holders are investing the treasury before committing your assets; maybe you’re looking for a more nuanced way to calculate the rarity score of NFTs you own. Whatever the question, Zapper V2 makes doing your own research easier than ever before.

We built Zapper V2 to make web3 truly accessible, empowering people with reliable data, so they can experience the full promise of the space, avoid relying on others for information, and prevent themselves from falling for biased narratives.

What Can I Do with Zapper V2?

Easily spot the newest trends in NFTs ahead of the crowd, powered by up-to-the-minute, unbiased, and uncensored information that is sourced directly from blockchains.

Do your own research in DeFi, enriched by the context of DAOs, cross-chain assets and wallets, all accessible in one place and without switching your focus.

Contextualize your discoveries with a complete and accurate view of your web3 net worth and the profile information of all other players.

Tap into the power of social relationships to uncover useful information that draws on the interactions between web3 actors:

  • Users are able to connect and share their collections and profiles with others;
  • Follow and see what their favorite investors and connections are holding and doing on chain, and learn from their peers.
  • All this, while respecting web3’s core values of privacy and pseudo-anonymity.

V2 is now live! Check it out at zapper.fi, and don’t hesitate to share your thoughts with us.

Our goal is to keep upgrading your web3 journey by surfacing and connecting on-chain information and translating it into a fun and relatable rabbit hole experience that anyone can explore.

Our wish for you is that you can use Zapper V2 to stop relying on intermediaries for information, and discover all the opportunities that you didn’t know were out there!
