This is our third published Product Update covering all the highlights of what we shipped over the month of November 2020. November proved that DeFi summer was no fluke. Our DeFi community is building long lasting value that users cannot quit using and Zapper aims to be one of those tabs you never close.

Before we get started, here’s a few of the monster numbers we’ve put up as of November 2020 thanks to our loyal community of Zapper users!

⚡$887M in total Zapper transaction volume

⚡$866M in total Zap volume*

⚡$19.5M traded on Zapper Exchange (and $15.5M since Dec 1st!)

⚡$110M in transaction volume in November

*Adding/withdrawing liquidity, excluding staking.

You can track on-chain analytics like this at analytics.zapper.fi.

Zapper Exchange now powered by 0x API

Zapper Exchange is a DEX aggregator, conveniently located on your Zapper dashboard under Exchange. We released this months ago with our own design for how to source the best trading rates and least slippage in DeFi. However, we quickly learned how much more powerful the 0x API is at sourcing liquidity. Now, Zapper Exchange offers the same competitive rates you’d find using the popular Matcha.xyz DEX aggregrator. Try it at zapper.fi/exchange!

New Sushi Swap Zaps to Add or Withdraw Liquidity

We now offers Zaps for adding liquidity via a single asset to SushiSwap LPs. You can even start with an unrelated token in the pool like ETH, USDC, DAI, USDT, LINK, or WBTC and our Zaps will automatically swap to the correct tokens necessary to become an LP in SushiSwap LPs. Alternatively, you can withdraw from a SushiSwap LP to single asset.

0x API Sourcing Swaps Prior to Adding Liquidity to SushiSwap

Here’s a demonstration of how Zaps swap unrelated tokens for the proper LPs

One convenience on Zapper just mentioned above, is when Adding Liquidity, you can start with unrelated pool tokens, such as ETH, DAI, USDC, USDT, LINK or WBTC. Those swaps were once powered only by Uniswap and hence not capturing the best trading rates. Now, we’ve improved Zaps for SushiSwap by integrating the 0x API to find the best rates across 15+ pools in DeFi.

New Dashboard Support

There are countless new tokens and DeFi protocols we’ve added over November but here’s a few major highlights along the way.

Bitcoin Addresses

We’re excited to add on-chain support for tracking your BTC wallets! If you own BTC in a Ledger or other non-custodial wallet, we can help you to track the value of your BTC along with your DeFi portfolio in Zapper.

Track BTC in your Wallet on Zapper Dashboard
Under Manage Addresses, paste in your BTC wallet address.

Eth2 Validators

You can now track up to 1000 Eth2 validators on your Zapper Dashboard, or 32,000 ETH deposited into the Eth2 deposit contract.

Hegic

Track your balances on the non-custodial options platform Hegic including: HEGIC tokens, LP balances provided for ETH or WBTC puts and calls (aka writing options), and locked writeETH / writeBTC LP value earning HEGIC.

Track all your balances as an LP on Hegic, including staked writeETH / writeBTC value

Bancor

If you’re a liquidity provider in Bancor, you can now track your LP balances on Zapper, whether you entered via dual-sided liquidity or single-sided protection. These single-sided LPs are an especially exciting innovation to offer compensation for those who wish to lend a single token in an LP pair and gain protection against impermanent loss.

88mph

One can now view their staked MPH-WETH LP earning with 88mph

BarnBridge

Track your staked BOND in Pool 3 of BarnBridge

New Zaps, Staking, Claiming

Uniswap Zaps

If you’re participating in the fixed rate lending on 88mph.app, you can add/withdraw liquidity with a single asset for the MPH-ETH LP on Uniswap, including Staking the LP to earn MPH rewards and later Claim Rewards.

Curve

If you’re in a Curve LP, you can now rebalance into any other Curve LP by simply clicking the Rebalance button. This combines the action of Zapping out of one LP and Zapping into another LP.

SushiSwap

As noted earlier, Zapper now offers Zaps for adding/withdrawing liquidity via a single asset to SushiSwap LPs. You can also start with an unrelated token in the pool like ETH, USDC, DAI, USDT, LINK, or WBTC and the Zap will automatically swap to the correct tokens necessary to become an LP in SushiSwap LPs.
