ZAP (ZAP)

ZAP is a community-driven token distribution platform operating on the Blast and Base blockchain networks. It aims to help web3 projects effectively attract new capital and community by implementing an on-chain, data-based, socialized, and gamified token distribution mechanism, often represented in the form of quests and airdrops.

The platform consists of three core modules, each assisting projects in garnering more attention among crypto users and building a robust community:

• Launchpad: ZAP allows anyone to create their own token and publicly raise funds while gaining additional attention through ZAP’s various social media channels, similar to the Pump.fun, Sunpump, and others. At the same time, users have the opportunity to invest early in new projects at discounted prices;
• Airdrop Platform: The protocol also helps web3 startups organize bounty programs and token distribution models to gain more exposure and onboard users to their products. The platform has developed an advanced token drop system to ensure fair distribution among real, active community members;
• ZAP Labs: Lastly, ZAP unlocks private VC rounds for communities of projects that the platform has researched and vetted itself, ensuring that the quality of the launching projects is of a high standard.
