ZapApp to Shut Down on June 1

Zap states that it will close on June 1 after missing its expected market traction, and users are being instructed to export private keys before the app goes offline.

Fact Check

The claim is directly and fully confirmed by ZapApp's own official X post (https://x.com/ZapApp/status/2053962191095640283), which explicitly states the June 1, 2026 shutdown date, the reason (failure to achieve hoped-for market traction), and the instruction for users to export private keys before the app goes offline. This is independently corroborated by Crypto Briefing and PANews, both citing the same official source. All three sources are consistent and mutually reinforcing. No conflicting evidence was found.

Summary

Zap said it will shut down on June 1 after failing to gain the market traction it expected, despite meeting its goal of enabling users to register and buy a first meme coin in 30 seconds. The team told users to export their private keys before the shutdown. Existing information also states that users can import those keys into Phantom wallet, and that users who do not export them before June 1 will still be able to access funds afterward through Privy Home.
