Zapper is shutting down. This truly marks the collective memory of the earliest generation of DeFi yield farmers. Back in the day, when people were diving into DeFi, many would open Zapper daily to check their assets, LPs, and earnings. But this project missed its prime time, and with a hint of arrogance, it faded into obscurity. I still remember when Zapper launched a voltage points campaign, where you could redeem NFTs. The NFTs had different tiers and could be combined into higher-level ones. Even the basic ones were hard to get, and the highest-tier NFTs were super rare—only a few dozen existed, priced at several ETH each. Unfortunately, after seven years, they still haven’t issued a token. The seven-year itch curse strikes again. A bunch of my wallets still hold traces of the kuigas days. Those NFTs minted back then for interactions, identity, points, and the hope of potential airdrops were never sold. Now, most of them have no value, no liquidity, and no one even mentions them anymore. A whole batch of NFTs has slowly faded away with the changing times, but they also captured the most authentic snapshot of on-chain players during that era: Interacting every day, burning gas fees every day, and believing every day that the next big opportunity was just around the corner!
