Tapswap, a popular tap-to-earn app powered by the TON Blockchain, has announced an indefinite postponement of its token allocation to users.
This decision comes as the app’s representatives seek optimal methods to reward its active gamers. The announcement was made by Tapswap’s Head of Communications, John Robbin, during an X space on Wednesday.
The app, which launched on February 15, 2024, requires users to tap repeatedly on an icon in the center of the Telegram Tapswap bot screen to mine coins.
It has quickly gained popularity, especially among Nigerians, and has amassed over 50 million users.
Robbin explained that the exact method of token allocation has yet to be determined, and as such, the details cannot be communicated before the allocation is finalized.
“The token launch was postponed until July 1. The new date will be communicated,” he stated. He also emphasized that a significant portion of the tokens would be allocated to the community to retain active users and build a strong Tapswap community.
“We want the token airdrop to be a win-win for all of us. We have started communicating with many exchanges and platforms,” Robbin said.
He also noted that users attempting to exploit the system would be banned, while encouraging genuine tappers to remain patient.
Regarding the mining process, Robbin explained, “Just open the app and tap on it; that will give you shares.
The more you tap and the more upgrades you do, the more shares you will have when we finalize the tokens. The more tokens you want, the more tapping you have to do.”
He addressed the booster option, which has already ended, stating it was an optional paid feature introduced to help new users compete with early adopters.
The funds generated from this feature will be used to further develop the app and sustain its operations. “It was not mandated on the users.
We introduced the limited x2 donation because the new influx of users kept coming in, and we needed them to get a fair allocation at TGE,” he added.
Robbin reassured users that the revenue from the booster option would support the app’s 25 staff members who work tirelessly to maintain and improve the platform. “We want to be here for a very long time,” he asserted.
He encouraged new users to continue joining the app, noting there is still time to earn a substantial number of tokens.
In Nigeria, the app has become an obsession for many, including a viral video showing a Keke driver tapping on his phone while steering his vehicle, and another of traders in Northern Nigeria vigorously tapping their screens.
As users await further announcements, the anticipation for token allocation remains high, with many hoping to turn their taps into tangible rewards like cars and houses.
