TapSwap, a popular tap-to-earn app utilizing TON Blockchain, has announced an indefinite postponement of its token allocation to users.
The app’s representatives are exploring the best methods to reward participants.
John Robbin, TapSwap’s Head of Communications, revealed this during an X space on Wednesday.
TapSwap, launched on February 15, 2024, allows users to mine coins by repeatedly tapping an icon on the Telegram bot screen.
The app has quickly gained popularity in Nigeria, boasting over 50 million users.
Robbin explained that the token allocation method is still being determined, and the process cannot be disclosed before the allocation. He mentioned that the new date for the token launch is July 1.
“We aim to allocate a significant portion of the tokens to the community to keep the tappers engaged. We are in talks with various exchanges and platforms to ensure a win-win situation for everyone,” said Robbin.
He also warned that users exploiting the system would be banned after community checks, urging genuine users to be patient.
Regarding the mining process, Robbin stated, “Open the app and start tapping to earn shares. More taps and upgrades result in more shares when we finalize the tokens.”
The booster option, which allowed users to double their earnings, has ended.
Robbin noted, “We introduced this feature due to the influx of new users to ensure fair allocation at TGE. The funds generated will be used to enhance the game and support our 25 staff members working to maintain the app.”
Robbin encouragetd more people to join the app, noting that there is still time to earn a substantial number of tokens.

The adoption of cryptocurrency in sports betting is reshaping the way punters engage with their favourite casino games. Crypto sports betting platforms like crypto casino UK, are gaining tremendous traction among bettors and investors alike, thanks to the transparency, security, and efficiency they provide.
This trend signifies a major shift in the gambling landscape, driven by the advantages of cryptocurrency transactions.
Advantages of Crypto Sports Betting
- Speed of transactions: Traditional banking methods is slow, especially when it comes to international transfers. Cryptocurrencies, allow bettors to quickly deposit and withdraw funds without unnecessary delays. This efficiency is important in the fast-paced realm of sports betting, where timing is critical.
- Anonymity: Unlike conventional payment methods, cryptocurrencies provide a higher level of anonymity and protection against fraud. This makes them particularly appealing to users who prioritise privacy and security in their transactions.
- Diversity: Crypto sports betting also offers bettors the opportunity to diversify their betting portfolio. With the ability to use various cryptocurrencies, bettors can take advantage of different betting markets and opportunities. This diversification can help reduce risks and potentially increase profits.
Challenges of Crypto Sports Betting
- Volatility: The value of cryptocurrencies can fluctuate dramatically within short periods, which can pose risks for bettors looking to maintain stable bankrolls.
- Lack of regulation: High risk of fraud due to an unregulated market. Bettors should ensure that a platform is reputable and trustworthy for safeguarding ones assets and personal information.
- Decentralization Tradeoffs: The decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies means no central authority governs transactions. Many jurisdictions have vague or no specific regulations around cryptocurrency used for sports betting. Undefined rules raise compliance risks and uncertainty for operators and consumers.
Conclusion
With the increasing acceptance of digital currencies, more players are finding crypto transactions to be a convenient and secure alternative to traditional payment methods. This transition not only enhances user experience but also introduces new opportunities for growth within the gaming industry.
The future of cryptocurrency sports betting looks promising. As cryptocurrencies continue to gain mainstream acceptance and adoption, more sports betting platforms will likely incorporate cryptocurrency options. This will provide bettors with more choices and opportunities to bet using their preferred cryptocurrencies.
Furthermore, advancements in blockchain technology, the underlying technology behind cryptocurrencies, can further enhance the security, transparency, and efficiency of crypto sports betting.
