Zap is a decentralised cryptocurrency and marketplace platform that pioneered the concept of creating and managing data-driven smart contracts. Launched in 2017, Zap aims to facilitate the seamless integration of off-chain data with blockchain technology, primarily through the use of oracles. By allowing users to monetise their data and create customised data feed solutions, Zap provides a bridge between real-world information and blockchain ecosystems. The Zap platform empowers developers to construct decentralised applications (dApps) with real-time data feeds, enhancing the utility and dynamism of smart contracts. Its native token, ZAP, is used to stake and curate data feeds, incentivising data providers and ensuring reliable data sourcing.
