A POPULAR tap-2-earn app, Tapswap, powered by TON Blockchain, has said the token allocation to users has been postponed to quarter three of the year.
The app, which required users to repeatedly tap the icon in the centre of the Telegram Tapswap bot screen to mine coins, recently gained momentum among Nigerians tapping on their phone screens in pursuit of financial earnings and has amassed over 50 million users since it launched on February 15, 2024.
The management said it decided to move the share-to-token exchange event scheduled for July 1st to the third quarter to better serve its players.
In a series of threads created on X, on Monday, to share what it described as ‘bad and good news’ for its players, the management said it is in active talks with tier 1 exchanges around the world to price the highly ranked game from the prey of scammers and leaders in web3 industry who are moved by the successes the game had attracted.
“We’ve got some bad and really good news for you at the same time: our team has decided to move the date for the Shares-to-Token exchange event. You might wonder, what’s good about that? Just FUD?
“Not exactly. The whole point is that you’ll benefit from this. Let us explain how:
Recently, there’s been a lot of buzz around Tapswap, especially about listing on tier 1 exchanges, a massive drop, and more. And it’s no surprise: the project has become one of the major players globally, ranking at the top. This kind of attention attracts not just scammers but also leaders in the web3 industry.
“So, not all rumours are just rumours. The Tapswap team is actually in active talks with tier-1 exchanges!
And they are thrilled with you – our community! Isn’t this what we’ve been tirelessly working towards together?”
The management further reiterated its effort to devote a high level of attention to the task, which requires much more detailed work on tokenomics and the right launch strategy.
“However, this success comes with some ‘inconveniences’. This level of attention requires much more detailed work on tokenomics and the right launch strategy. And that means extra time.
“But know that this is all to ensure that our launch in Q3 is fair and, more importantly, profitable for all of you who stand by us no matter what,” it added.
Tapswap, however, charged its players to be happy about the bigger news in the future while appreciating the support and feedback gotten from them.
So, as you can see, there are plenty of reasons to be happy about this change. And very soon, we’ll give you some even bigger news about our future, tier 1 partnerships, and the drop itself!
We really value your support. And we truly listen to your feedback, so don’t forget to share it in the comments. Together, we’ll keep reaching higher and higher levels!
This newspaper reports that Tapswap postponed its token launch date, which was scheduled for July 1st, indefinitely.
This was disclosed by the Head of Communications of the gaming firm, John Robbin, on June 20, 2024.
Before the aforesaid disclosure, it announced that its coin allocation date would be July 1st after it couldn’t establish a date in May because of too many bot accounts that they are working on separating from the authentic gamers.
According to Robbin, the method of token allocation has not yet been ascertained, stressing that the processes cannot be communicated before the allocation.
“The token launch was postponed from July 1. The new date will be communicated.
“We will allocate a significant part of the tokens to the community to retain the tappers. We want you all to be part of the tapswap community.
