The Megaphone alternative, built to keep going.
Megaphone, formerly DeForm, shut down in early 2026. Formz covers the original DeForm toolkit (no-code forms, wallet verification, token gating and verified social identity) across 8 ecosystems instead of one, with a free plan to start.

Eight ecosystems, not one
DeForm verified EVM wallets only. Formz checks EVM, Solana, TON, Sui, Aptos, Starknet, NEAR and Cosmos.
Growth built in
Referral waitlists with a live rank, plus points on any question and a ranked CSV. DeForm never shipped either.

There’s no data to migrate. Recreate your form with the same wallet and gating settings and share the new link. Your old allowlist CSVs stay yours.
Questions about switching
What happened to DeForm and Megaphone?
DeForm launched in 2022 as a no-code Web3 form builder for wallet verification, token gating and social identity. It later rebranded to Megaphone and grew into a broader on-chain growth platform, adding token claim pages, quests, governance voting and launchpad tooling. Megaphone shut down in early 2026.
Does Formz cover everything DeForm’s original toolkit did?
Yes: no-code forms, wallet verification, token and NFT gating, verified social identity, custom branding and webhooks. Wallet checks cover 8 ecosystems instead of EVM alone.
Is Formz free to start?
Yes. The Starter plan has 3 active forms and 100 responses a month, with no card. EVM wallet verification and social sign-in start on Pro at $15 a month. Multi-chain wallets, on-chain gating and viral waitlists are on Business at $49 a month.
Which blockchains does Formz support?
Eight ecosystems: EVM (Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism and 30 more), Solana, TON, Sui, Aptos, Starknet, NEAR and Cosmos. DeForm’s wallet verification covered EVM networks only.
