What is Zaps
The capital allocation layer for trading communities, built by Zeru.
Zaps is the capital allocation layer for trading communities, built by Zeru.
If you read one sentence, read this one: Zaps tracks the calls KOLs post on X, verifies every outcome onchain, scores traders and their communities from 0 to 1000, and routes protocol budgets to the communities that provably deliver.
Everything else on this page is that sentence, unpacked.
The three layers
1 · The reputation engine. Always on, and free forever. Zaps indexes the real trades of connected wallets, pulls each wallet's zScore from Zeru, and computes two scores that are never blended into one number: a Trader Score for every wallet, and a KOL Score for clan leaders. No self-reporting anywhere in the pipeline. The chain is the referee.
2 · The social layer. The daily habit. Every KOL leads a clan, and the clan page is where reputation gets built, defended, and attacked: endorsements, challenges, experience reports from people who actually traded the calls, and formal disputes with real zaps at stake. The home page streams all of it, across every clan, live.
3 · The campaign engine. The business. Protocols put budgets behind verified communities, attribution runs automatically, wash trades score zero, and every campaign ends with an onchain proof report. Campaigns plug into a network that is already alive. They amplify it. They never keep it alive.
Each layer works without the one after it. Each layer makes the next one stronger.
What makes Zaps different
| Category | What it solves | What it misses |
|---|---|---|
| Quest platforms | Task completion and reward distribution | No proof the activity was real trading |
| Social platforms | Community and communication | No onchain attribution or reputation |
| InfoFi | Attention and mindshare tracking | Attention is not capital movement |
| Analytics | Onchain activity visibility | No influence layer, no distribution |
| Zaps | Verified reputation + community quality + attribution + distribution, in one stack |
The pattern in that table: everyone measures something adjacent to the money. Attention, tasks, raw data. Zaps measures capital actually moving, ties it to the people who moved it, and pays against that record.
The engine underneath
Zaps is the product. Zeru is the engine. zScore, Zeru's behavioral trust score, runs silently under every surface: wallet quality, sybil detection, trade attribution. You never configure it and never see it working. You only see what it makes possible: numbers on this platform that cannot be bought. Read more in zScore.
What is live today
Zaps ships in phases, and every page here is labeled the same way the app is. The reputation engine, clans, the social layer, and the Growth Leaderboard are live now. Automatic call detection and call cards roll out within V1. Campaigns arrive once the reputation network has a record worth funding. Look for the badge at the top of each feature page.
