The MEME super cycle is coming, and a one-stop aggregation platform has become a necessity!
Zaponchain provides a one-stop launch platform for high-quality projects by aggregating the three major sections of Launch, Labs, and Drops, helping users track and participate in early projects to obtain rewards!
This issue of [Web3 Roundtable] takes everyone to learn more about Zaponchain
Opening remarks: It took Doge 4 years to break through the market value of 1 billion US dollars, while BOME only took 3 days. It seems that it has become a consensus among retail investors that they would rather take the local dog market than the VC market.
The seemingly worthless meme may be shouldering the heavy responsibility of Mass Adoption. Meme coins have become the top priority for activating the public chain ecosystem.
Based on past bull market experience, a bull market is generally divided into three stages: Bitcoin rises; after Bitcoin rises, Ethereum rises, and drives hot altcoins to soar together. Finally, the crypto market enters a comprehensive rise stage, and meme coins begin to rise.
However, in this cycle, the rotation order of sectors seems to have been rearranged, and the meme coin rush has become the main theme of this cycle. After the meme outbreak, will the copycat season dominated by the so-called value coins come? This is also one of the most concerned issues for 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 can shape the new landscape of meme launch platforms from the underlying logic to market strategy. First, please introduce yourself.
Q1: Please briefly introduce ZAP. What pain points does it mainly solve?
A: Currently, Web3 participants have to go to different platforms to do different things, such as launching tokens, discovering new projects, participating in Airdrop, etc. Zap's vision is to become a one-stop aggregation platform that can satisfy developers and users!
It is actually a long process from the creation of a project to airdrop, creation of a community, operation, and issuance of coins. General platforms may not provide continuous follow-up services after completing the Air Drop task or interactive task, but Zap will conduct continuous tracking and help users understand project dynamics at the first time.
In this way, through the Zap platform, start-up projects can quickly accumulate users and improve user stickiness. Users can discover new high-quality projects on Zap at the first time and continue to get updates from a single platform, which helps users save time and attention costs.
Therefore, Zap is an aggregation platform that links high-quality projects and loyal users to achieve a win-win situation for both parties!
Q2: What are the core functions and products of ZAP? For ordinary users, do we have the opportunity to deeply participate in the construction of ZAP?
A: It is mainly divided into two parts
The first part is: Drops
Drops allow users to better experience and participate in early quality projects and obtain Air Drops. Zap not only refers to the user's social contribution, but also refers to the user's on-chain behavior. Users who contribute more will receive more incentives.
And the Airdrop will not be a one-off. It will first help users understand the project, and then explore deeper incentives and deeper and longer-term contributions to achieve long-term sustainability and the goal of truly binding with real Web3 users.
The second part is: Launch
After the project enters the token launch stage, a decentralized launch can be carried out in Launch. Not only meme coins, but even users who want to issue their own community tokens can easily do so in Launch!
Both parts are core products with low barriers to entry and high profit expectations in which ordinary users can participate deeply.
Q3: In 2024, meme coins have become the hottest investment target in the crypto market. How does the ZAP team view the phenomenon of meme popularity?
A: Now retail investors don’t want to take over VC coins. The deep definition of MEME coins is actually rebellious, and the other is that they are really fun. I think meme coins that usually have high resonance and popularity are actually very contagious.
On the surface, the popularity of memes is accidental, but in fact it is inevitable. The market has its own evolution process, just accept the trend and follow it!
Q4: ZAP’s core product, Lauch, provides a one-stop service for the launch of meme coins. In response to current market trends, what other plans or arrangements does ZAP have?
A: Our main layout and plan is to adapt to the needs of the market and users more quickly and build Zap into a more comprehensive one-stop platform!
Whether it is the fair launch of MEME coins, the development of the ecosystem, or the launch of project tokens, the user experience on the platform, improving UI/UX to lower the threshold, how to attract Web2 users to Web3 through Zap, etc., are all key to our future improvement.
Q5: ZAP has received US$15.1 million in financing from many well-known capitals, including well-known funds such as Rarestone Capital, Cypher Capital, Sharding Capital, 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 of ZAP that attracts investors?
A: Zap participated in Blast's Big Bang competition, and 47 winners were selected from 3,000 teams, and Zap won the championship.
Through subsequent activities, Zap attracted more than 100,000 users to participate, most of whom have become long-term users of Zap.
Zap can truly help the development of the Web3 ecosystem, give back to the community and bring community benefits, providing real growth and value for the Web3 industry.
Investment institutions and investors have officially seen the value and future potential of Zap and chosen to invest in Zap.
Q6: ZAP tokens have recently been launched on Bybit, Gate and on-chain dex, and a staking plan has been launched. Can you give us a detailed introduction to the staking details? What rights and interests do staking users have?
A: The ZAP staking program is designed to incentivize and reward ZAP token holders for on-chain activity and promote growth of the entire web3 ecosystem.
Staking $ZAP allows users to access a range of benefits and rewards across the ZAP ecosystem. There are three components:
Passive Staking Rewards
● Passive Income: Earn a steady monthly payout of $ZAP from the community treasury.
● External protocol income: You 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 of the supply (1-2%) of each memecoin launched on ZAP, which can be claimed either in a timelock or when the token is upgraded to the DEX.
Active Contribution Rewards
● Stake and Earn Missions (coming soon): Users who stake $ZAP will have access to exclusive missions with their own benefits, such as exclusive reward distributions.
● XP Multipliers (Coming Soon): Once a staker completes a mission, they will receive a multiplier of all XP earned on the ZAP DROPS platform.
There are also a series of preferential benefits, including special benefits for Vault holders.
Q7: The launch of the token marks the entry of ZAP into a new stage. What future plans does the team have to ensure the long-term healthy operation of the project?
A: In addition to continuously optimizing and updating our products, we will also optimize the rights and interests of the community and holders. Including:
● Increased daily rewards for Vault holders
● Increase staking APY
● Buy back $ZAP
● FLEXX airdrop and more updates in the future
