General FAQ
The big-picture questions. Audience-specific questions live in each section's own FAQ.
Looking for something specific? Each audience section has its own FAQ: Traders, KOLs, Protocols.
Not directly. Kaito measures attention. Zaps measures economic activity. Attention is not capital: a KOL can have a high mindshare score and zero verified trading community. Zaps measures the thing that actually moves money, and pays the people who move it.
No. Quest platforms solve task completion and reward distribution. A quest to complete a swap is not proof that a KOL's community trades with real capital. Zaps is a reputation and attribution network: it verifies who actually delivers, and sits above task platforms in the value chain.
Zeru is the intelligence layer: zScore, behavioral trust scoring, sybil detection, all running silently underneath. Zaps is the product built on top. Zeru is the engine. Zaps is the vehicle.
Commission on campaign budgets deployed through the platform. The reputation and social layers are free and always will be: they build the network that makes campaigns worth buying. Brands are the revenue model, never the dependency.
None of the three. Zaps never holds funds, never executes trades, and never takes custody of anything. You trade from your own wallets on the venues you already use. Zaps reads the public onchain record and turns it into reputation.
Trading communities get louder in volatile markets, not quieter. Bear markets produce strong directional calls, shorts, safe havens, recovery plays, and the reputation of a KOL who called a downturn correctly is worth more, not less. Zaps measures trading, not price direction.
Because you can check them. Every score decomposes into its factors in the app, every call card links to onchain outcomes, and every reputation event, endorsements, disputes, slashes, burns, is public and permanent. Zaps asks for no trust it cannot show receipts for.
The app is app.zaps.wtf. Zaps is built by Zeru: @zerufinance on X, and the community Telegram. All official links are on one page.
