– Update from Cardano:

TapTools, a key player in the blockchain analytics space, is shutting down due to significant staff changes.

Actual from Cardano:

TapTools, a key think tank in the Cardano network, is closing its doors on a two-week notice. The decision follows the fifth management change in 2026, an event caused by a major crisis in the management team. As a result, the platform has lost the ability to continue functioning at its former capacity.

Launched in 2022, TapTools has become an indispensable tool for ADA traders, allowing them to track native token quotes, DeFi protocol statistics, FT prices and liquidity on decentralized exchanges across the network.

After spending four years developing the infrastructure for Cardano, today we are forced to share some sad news, the company said Tuesday on Platform X.

The announcement comes just days after JPG.Store, a Cardano-based NFT marketplace, ceased operations on May 23. Thus, two of the ecosystem’s most sought-after user products left the market within a single week.

TapTools was more than just a price aggregator. The platform provided a single interface that combined information on the prices and market capitalization of thousands of Cardano tokens, historical charts, analytical data on liquidity pools, staking statistics, portfolio tracking and tools for finding new projects. All of this was presented within a single user interface that clearly visualized data from the notoriously complex EUTXO Cardano model.
