Zapper, one of the most recognized names in DeFi portfolio management, is closing its doors. Co-founder and CEO Seb Audet announced on July 8, 2026, that the platform will officially cease operations on August 3, 2026, ending a run that began when DeFiSnap and DeFiZap merged in May 2020.
From DeFi summer darling to shutdown notice
Zapper launched at almost exactly the right moment. May 2020 placed it at the doorstep of what the industry would later call “DeFi Summer,” a period where billions flooded into yield farming protocols and users desperately needed a single dashboard to track it all.
At its peak, Zapper served over 2 million monthly active users and processed more than $13 billion in transaction volume.
In May 2021, Zapper closed a $15 million Series A led by Framework Ventures, with Sound Ventures and Coinbase Ventures also participating. The stated plan was to build out the mobile app and launch an on-platform app store.
