Zapper Is Shutting Down: What to Use Instead

On July 8, 2026, Zapper announced it is winding down. On August 3, 2026, zapper.xyz, the mobile apps, and the API all stop working. At its peak Zapper served more than 2 million monthly active users, so a lot of people now need a new home for their portfolio tracking.

This post covers what actually stops working, what to look for in a Zapper alternative, and where Cryptool does and does not fit. We have tried to be straight about the gaps.

What stops working on August 3

• zapper.xyz, the web dashboard.
• The Zapper mobile apps.
• The Zapper API. Existing API users are being emailed about the transition, so if you built on it, start migrating now rather than in the last week of July.

Your funds are not affected. Zapper was non-custodial, so nothing was ever held for you. What you lose is the interface and the setup you had built inside it.

What to look for in a Zapper alternative

1. Non-custodial, always

You should never hand over keys just to see a balance. Any replacement should read your wallets and nothing more.

2. Real coverage of the wallets and chains you actually hold

Most trackers cover the majors well and quietly drop the rest. If you hold positions on smaller chains, check those specifically before you commit.

3. The things you check every day

Total value, profit and loss, vesting schedules, upcoming claims. If a tool cannot show these in one view, you will end up back in a spreadsheet within a week.

4. Somewhere to grow into

If you run a fund, a syndicate, or an investment group, plain tracking runs out fast. You start needing member allocations, distributions, and reporting.

Where Cryptool fits

Cryptool is a non-custodial dashboard that pulls every wallet and chain into one view: total value, profit and loss, vesting schedules, and upcoming claims. You add the wallets you want to track, and your keys stay with you.

Where it goes further than a pure dashboard is the operator side. Alongside portfolio tracking, Cryptool covers fundraising, deal flow, OTC, and fund administration, so syndicates and fund managers can handle member allocations, vesting, and distributions in the same place they track the portfolio.

That is also an honest answer to the question a lot of people asked when Zapper announced the shutdown: how does a free dashboard pay for itself? For most of the last cycle, it did not. Cryptool is not trying to survive on dashboard traffic alone.

What Cryptool does not do yet

Being straight, because you will find out anyway:

• NFTs. Zapper tracked NFT portfolios. Cryptool does not track NFTs yet. If NFTs were the main reason you used Zapper, we are not your replacement today.
• Tax reporting. Not available yet. It is on the roadmap, so do not switch expecting to file from it.
• Automatic wallet detection. You add your wallets yourself. Nothing is discovered for you.
• Fundraising is chain-limited. Tracking covers all chains and wallets, but raises themselves currently run on BNB Chain, Ethereum, and MultiversX only. This does not affect you if you are only replacing a portfolio tracker.

How to move your setup before August 3

• Write down every wallet address you had connected to Zapper. People forget this step, and after August 3 that list is gone.
• Export anything you care about while the site is still up.
• If you built on the Zapper API, watch for the transition email and pick a new data source early.
• Add your wallets to whatever you choose, then confirm the smaller chains actually resolve.

Common questions

When exactly does Zapper shut down?

August 3, 2026. The website, the mobile apps, and the API all stop on that date.

Is my money at risk?

No. Zapper was non-custodial and never held your assets. Only the interface goes away.

What is the best Zapper alternative?

It depends what you used it for. For multi-chain, non-custodial portfolio tracking, and especially if you also run a fund, a syndicate, or raises, Cryptool covers tracking plus the operator tooling in one place. For NFT-heavy portfolios, look elsewhere for now.
