Zapper to Shut Down on August 3, 2026

The company said weak market demand prompted an orderly wind down of all services on that date.

Overview

  • Zapper, which announced the decision on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, will take its website, mobile apps and API offline on August 3, 2026.
  • Co‑founder and CEO Seb Audet said the team evaluated several options and concluded that weak demand made an orderly wind down the best course.
  • At its peak Zapper served more than 2 million monthly active users, processed over $13 billion in transaction volume and raised a $15 million Series A in 2021 led by Framework Ventures with participation from investors including Mark Cuban and Sound Ventures.
  • Planned product moves introduced in 2024 — a Zapper Protocol and a ZAP utility token — were never launched, and the company faced a domain‑hijack phishing attack in April 2025 that damaged user trust.
  • All API customers will receive migration guidance and competing dashboards such as Zerion, DeBank and De.Fi are expected to absorb displaced users as part of a broader wave of crypto platform closures in 2026.
