Zapper previously served as a core tool for DeFi asset management, integrating multi-chain tracking and portfolio management. Its closure continues the trend of infrastructure projects exiting during the bear market.
On the capital front, the team made every effort to advance solutions but could not sustain operations. After exhausting resources, they are orderly liquidating, aiming to minimize user impact and strategically free up space for the founders to pivot to new projects.
Similar to recent contractions of several DeFi dashboards, the current phase is characterized by a shift from expansion to streamlining in the late bear market.
This essentially reflects capital concentration: projects are shutting down under operational pressure, driven by weak user growth and high maintenance costs, prompting funds and attention to concentrate on leading protocols and accelerating industry reshuffling.
