Zapper Product Update #9: The Alpha Leak Edition
Things move quickly in web3. To help our community stay on top of the latest developments at Zapper, we share regular product updates that recap Zapper’s newest features, protocol integrations, and upcoming initiatives.
Since our last update we have been working hard on a number of flagship features that will be launched in the next month or two. If things have seemed quiet on the Zapper front, it is because we have been working hard to deliver on some of our highly anticipated product launches. We are delighted to update you on our progress and share some alpha leaks in this product update!
Heads Down, Time to Build
As any seasoned degen knows, there is no better time to put your head down and build than during a market slowdown. That is exactly what our terminators have been doing.
Let’s take a look at some of the key projects we’re getting ready to release SOON 🔜
The Zapper iOS Mobile App
We are almost ready to release the Beta version of the Zapper iOS Mobile App. Beta access will be provided to all Zapper NFT holders. We will send a one-time link to anyone who holds a Zapper NFT, and the link will allow users to download the app on Mobile. Spaces in the beta testing phase will be limited. Keep an eye on our channels (Twitter and Discord) for details on when we have sent the links out to NFT holders, so you can claim a spot in our iOS app’s beta-testing phase.
We are particularly excited for everyone to test our amazing VR NFTs feature all over town.
DIY Protocol Integration Interface
On March 2 we held an internal hackathon to make progress on a top-secret project that will change the way protocols are integrated with our dashboard forever.
Does a DIY community protocol integration interface sound exciting to you? We hope so. Because this is another feature that we will bring to a dashboard near you very SOON 🔜.
If you contribute to a protocol community and think this sounds exciting, you can get in touch with the Terminator in charge of this feature, Sam, on Discord at 0xSamIAm#2121.
Seriously! Reach out. We want to make sure this interface meets (and ideally exceeds) the needs of our community, so we would love to hear from you.
In-app Generated NFT Data
This was another teaser shared by our team last month. We know that having Zapper-native data for NFT collections will be a real game-changer in terms of the accuracy, efficiency, and usefulness of NFT information displayed on our dashboard.
We’ve been working hard to develop a reliable process for querying this kind of data in real-time. It will drastically improve the user experience of tracking your NFTs using Zapper, exploring trending collections, and getting insights about the financial and social performance of NFT collections.
Zapper (continues to) Go Social with BADGES
This section includes some never-before-leaked alpha about a special feature we have been working on. Soon we enable users to claim “badges” for certain on-chain achievements that we can track through our dashboard. Were you an early Aave user? A BAYC minter? Did you make a donation to Ukraine’s wallet address? These are the types of things you will be able to claim a badge for!
These badges are non-transferable proof that you’ve participated in various web3 activities. It will enrich your Zapper dashboard experience, act as an on-chain web3 diary of sorts, and allow you to claim badges for the things you are most proud of in your web3 journey. We cannot wait to share more details about this project with you in the coming weeks!
