How to Continue Tracking On-Chain Assets After Zapper Shuts Down
Zapper will fully shut down on August 3, 2026, after which its website, app, and API will no longer be accessible. The one essential thing you must do is: before the shutdown, import your wallet address into another on-chain asset tracking tool. This article provides three alternative solutions and a complete step-by-step migration guide.

Preparations You Must Complete Before the Shutdown
Before taking any action, confirm two things:
Check your Zapper account status: If you only connected your wallet to Zapper to view assets and never created a dedicated account or subscription within the Zapper platform, there is no need to export any data. If you had a paid subscription or used Zapper's API services, log into the official website to check whether a data export option is available. Download historical transaction records before the shutdown for tax or analysis purposes.
Have your wallet address and seed phrase/private key ready: The alternatives require only your public wallet address to track assets (starting with 0x...). However, if you need to transact or migrate approvals within a wallet, make sure you have your seed phrase or private key at hand. Under no circumstances should you enter your seed phrase or private key on an unofficial wallet page.
1. Option 1: Migrate to DeBank (the closest experience to Zapper)
What it does: DeBank is currently the most widely used multi-chain asset tracker among Chinese-speaking users, supporting over 30 public chains. It provides wallet asset overviews, lending positions, LP holdings, and NFT value statistics.
How to do it:
Visit the DeBank website (debank.com) or download the DeBank App.
Click "Connect Wallet" in the top right corner or use the "Search address" bar.
Scenario A (view-only tracking): Directly enter your wallet address (0x...), and you will be able to see the total assets, transaction history, and protocol interactions across all chains. No wallet connection or signature is required.
Scenario B (if interaction is needed): Click "Connect Wallet" and authorize the connection using a wallet plugin like MetaMask or Rabby via QR code or direct connection. Once connected, you can transfer, swap, or view pending rewards directly within DeBank.
What counts as completed: After entering your wallet address into the DeBank search bar, the page displays the total asset value, asset distribution across chains, and the last 10 transaction records. That means the migration is successful. If you have multiple addresses, you can add all of them to the "Watchlist" (DeBank supports adding multiple addresses).
Key reminder: DeBank's free version is sufficient for most daily tracking needs. The "DeBank Stream" paid version provides more granular token flow and whale tracking, which is not essential.
Prerequisite: Only the public address of the target wallet is required.
Common reasons for failure:
"No results" or "0 assets" after search → Check that the address is copied completely (especially that the EVM address starts with 0x), or confirm whether the address has held assets recently. If the address had zero assets for an extended period, DeBank may not display it.
Some long-tail chains or meme tokens do not show a price → This is an industry-wide issue. DeBank relies on third-party price sources such as CoinGecko. Tokens that are not listed will show "--" or be valued at 0.
Risk notice: When connecting a wallet, always ensure you are on the official domain debank.com. Any pop-up asking you to "enter your seed phrase" or "authorize asset transfer" is phishing. DeBank's official website clearly states "only public address is used, no private key or seed phrase required."
2. Option 2: Migrate to Zerion (excellent mobile experience)
What it does: Zerion is another major competitor to Zapper. It also supports multi-chain wallet tracking and offers a built-in trade aggregation feature. Its mobile app has better interaction design, making it suitable for smartphone users.
How to do it:
Visit the Zerion website (zerion.io) or download the app.
Scenario A (view-only): Enter a wallet address into the search bar to go to the dashboard and view asset overviews, NFTs, and DeFi positions.
Scenario B (sync multiple addresses): Zerion supports a "Watch Mode" where you can add multiple wallet addresses at once in the settings and view the combined portfolio.
What counts as completed: Enter the dashboard and see the "Portfolio" total value and asset breakdown across chains, with the data update timestamp showing "a few seconds ago" or "a few minutes ago". That means the migration is complete.
Prerequisite: Wallet address. If you want to perform swaps within Zerion, you need to connect a wallet and hold the gas fee for the respective chain.
Common reasons for failure:
Positions in certain protocols (such as older Compound v1 or non-mainstream lending protocols) may not be displayed → This type of issue is usually because Zerion has not indexed that protocol. You can go to the protocol's official website to check directly, or query through a block explorer (such as Etherscan).
Risk notice: Zerion's swap feature charges a small fee from trades (usually 0.5%-1%), which is part of its revenue model. Before using it, be sure to check the quote and slippage settings to avoid being sandwich-attacked in high-volatility markets.
3. Option 3: Use Rabby Wallet (alternative and long-term choice)
What it does: Rabby is a Web3 wallet built by the DeBank team. Its built-in "Asset Overview" feature can replace Zapper for daily tracking. If you are not yet using Rabby, consider adopting it as your daily wallet, covering both "asset viewing" and "transaction execution."
How to do it:
Download the browser extension or desktop version from the Rabby website (rabby.io).
Use the seed phrase or private key to import the Ethereum-compatible wallet you need to track.
After importing, Rabby's main interface will by default display the total asset value and distribution across all EVM chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base, BNB Chain, etc.). No additional configuration is required.
What counts as completed: After successfully importing the wallet, Rabby's homepage shows the total asset value, balances across chains, and the "DeFi Positions" section lists your staking, lending, or LP positions. That counts as migration completed.
Prerequisite: This option requires holding the wallet's private key or seed phrase. If you only want to "view" without performing operations, it is recommended to prioritize Option 1 or Option 2 and only import into Rabby when you need to execute transactions.
Common reasons for failure:
Assets on a specific chain are not displayed → Check the "Chains" option in Rabby's settings to confirm that the chain (e.g., Avalanche, Fantom) is enabled.
Position data refresh delay → Sometimes you need to manually click the "Refresh" button to pull the latest on-chain status.
Risk notice: Rabby is a hot wallet, meaning the seed phrase is stored locally in the browser. A virus infection or malicious browser extension tampering could lead to asset loss. It is recommended to use Rabby only for medium-value daily accounts. For large assets, use a hardware wallet (Ledger/Trezor) with Rabby's "Hardware Wallet Connection" mode, which does not require importing the private key.
4. Additional Supplement (Data Export and API Alternatives)
What to do: If you rely on Zapper's API for data scraping or personal analysis, you need to switch to alternative data sources after the shutdown.
How to do it:
On-chain raw data: Use Dune Analytics to build custom dashboards with SQL queries, suitable for advanced users.
Wallet labeling and entity recognition: Use Nansen or Arkham to track "Smart Money" or institutional addresses.
Transaction history export: Before Zapper shuts down (before August 3), log into Zapper and check if there is an "Export CSV" function. If not, you can download CSV transaction records chain by chain via Etherscan's "Download CSV" feature.
What counts as completed: Confirm that there are no unexported historical records or subscription information within your Zapper account, and that you have alternative data sources available. That means it is done.
Prerequisite: The time window before Zapper shuts down (before August 3, 2026).
Risk notice: After Zapper shuts down, historical transaction data may no longer be traceable through the original platform. For tax reporting or audit needs, you must complete the backup before the shutdown.

FAQ
Q1: Will the protocols I "authorized" on Zapper pose a security risk after the shutdown?
No. Zapper itself is just a front-end interface; it does not hold your private key or store your authorization information. Your approvals on protocols like Uniswap or Aave are recorded directly on-chain and are unrelated to whether Zapper is running. To revoke approvals, you need to use tools like Revoke.cash to perform on-chain operations.
Q2: What is the difference between the free and paid versions of DeBank?
The free version supports wallet asset tracking, multi-chain balances, NFT display, and basic transaction records. The paid version (DeBank Stream) provides more real-time data push, custom tracking lists, on-chain whale movement alerts, and other advanced features. Specific pricing is available on the official website. For the vast majority of users, the free version is sufficient.
Q3: My assets are on Solana or non-EVM chains. Do the above tools support them?
DeBank: Primarily supports EVM chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base, BNB Chain, etc.). Support for Solana is limited.
Zerion: Supports EVM chains + Solana.
Rabby: Supports EVM chains only. If your assets are mainly on Solana, it is recommended to use the built-in dashboards of Step Finance or Solflare wallet.
After completing the migration, open the new tool (DeBank/Zerion/Rabby) and observe for 1-2 days to confirm that the asset data matches your actual holdings (including staking rewards, LP impermanent loss details, etc.). If you find that data from an obscure protocol is not synced, go directly to that protocol's official app to check, or bookmark that protocol for daily queries.
