Quickstart
Zero to your first zaps in three steps. No gas, and no account until you want one.
New here? Start on this page. Zaps has a lot of moving parts, but getting in is short: connect, link, join. Three steps, about five minutes, and your first zaps land before you do anything else.
Connect X
One tap, standard sign-in. Your X account is your identity on Zaps, so this comes first: who you are, before what you hold. No password, no email.
Link a wallet
A free ownership signature, not a transaction — it costs no gas and gives Zaps zero control over your funds. The moment it links, your welcome grant fires: 50 to 100 zaps, computed from the trading history you already have. Strong history, strong grant. Brand-new wallet, a floor of 50. Nobody starts from zero.
Your wallet addresses stay private and never appear on any public surface. Link every wallet you trade with — unlinked history is history that does not count.
Join a clan, or start your own
- If you trade: browse clans, pick a room you believe in, and pay its entry fee in zaps to join. One X account joins one clan, so choose the leader whose record you trust.
- If you post calls: create your own clan instead. It carries your X handle, costs a one-time 25-zap fee, and starts competing on the Growth Leaderboard the same day.
That is the whole setup. From here, your balance moves on its own.
Then you just trade
Everything after step three is automatic — no claim buttons, no daily tasks:
- Your trades earn. Linked wallets are indexed nightly; each day you actually trade adds zaps.
- Your clan's growth pays. Every day, a pool of zaps is split across growing clans. Members take 90%, the KOL 10%, and when ten or more clans compete, the network drops a ⚡1,000 bonus on top.
- Your score follows you. A public Trader Score from 0 to 1000, built from real onchain behavior. Mint your zScore when you want the biggest single jump.
