⚡️ ZAP 2025: Big Plans Ahead! ⚡️

GM Zappers! As we kick off 2025, we’re excited to share a recap of 2024 and give you a sneak peek into what’s next.

⚡️ 2024 Highlights ⚡️
👉 $ZAP Progress: Listed on Bybit, Gate, Mexc, and Uniswap with ~⅓ of tokens liquid.
👉 2 Tier 1 Market Makers onboarded
👉 By End of Q1, approx 37% of supply will be circulating
👉 Buybacks: 10M+ $ZAP bought back since launch.
👉 Staking: 3% of $ZAP staked - a small start.

What’s Next for 2025?
🔹 ZAP Launch: Focused on making token launches fast, cost-effective, and accessible for Web2 users.
New Features: Social sign-ons, fiat ramps, and a sleek UI have been specifically designed for our coming Web2 campaign
Pausing ZAP Labs & Drops to focus on onboarding new users and polishing our launch systems, but may consider expanding on ZAP Labs
🔹 Marketing Push: Partnered with Lifted Management (known for campaigns with brands like Red Bull) to supercharge TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. Viral content and Web2 user acquisition = game-changers.
🔹 Fair Launch Innovation: Developing customizable bonding curves for token launches to improve fairness and raise more capital for teams.
🔹 Memecoins Incoming: Multiple high-potential launches in the pipeline—timed to market conditions—with gamification features to make them engaging and fun.
🔹 AI + Crypto: Exploring innovative ways to ride the AI narrative while staying true to ZAP’s mission.
🔹 CTZN Project: Transitioning CTZN to a new leadership team with a fresh vision and identity, ensuring it becomes a meaningful, value-driven project in its own right.

👉 While this is a rough recap, please make sure to read our latest changelog post from Francis to understand the team's full thought process and get deeper insights into what comes next.

We look forward to sharing additional updates coming soon, and want to say thank you that have continued to support us, be present in the community, share your questions and, all in all, help to make ZAP a better project.

Cheers from the ZAP Team

🔐 $ZAP tokens now claimable 🔐

Token claim and staking is now available on main net at http://zap.tech

Due to a number of technical issues today, we were unable to get our contracts deployed to a state we were happy with in time for TGE, and we’ve been working non stop to get this fixed.

We will be releasing a full report on the technical issues, and a transparency report highlighting all of the token and team wallets.

We expect some turbulence at this time due to the delays - we are committed to a compensation plan for all vault holders and additional bonuses for stakers which we will detail by the end of week.

Thanks for your continued support at this time.

Onwards! ⚡️

🚨 TGE UPDATE🚨

The ZAP team is working tirelessly to fix ongoing issues as a matter of urgency

We've just released a public statement, giving context around what happened.

Fixing these issues and doing right by our vault holders and community is our number one priority above all else.

We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to sort this. Thank you.

For full details, please read the statement below, which will be updated throughout today:
https://zap-launchpad.notion.site/ZAP-TGE-Statement-3dc11f8506ea44d4ac0b3341bfe1dcf3

🚨 URGENT 🚨

$ZAP CLAIMS WILL BE DELAYED TEMPORARILY.

There is an error with the claims and staking deployments which is being fixed as fast as possible by our dev team!

This means that you will likely NOT be able to claim before TGE, but shortly after.

This applies equally to vaults, investors, and airdrops.

We appreciate your patience with us at this time! Updates to follow.

$ZAP is officially listing on Gate.io!

Set your reminders for TGE tomorrow 👇

⏰ TIME: 10:00 AM UTC
