Tapswap, a popular tap-to-earn app powered by TON Blockchain, has indefinitely postponed its token allocation to users as representatives explore the best ways to reward its gamers. This announcement was made by John Robbin, Tapswap’s Head of Communications, during an X Space event on Wednesday.

The app, which requires users to repeatedly tap the icon in the center of the Telegram Tapswap bot screen to mine coins, has gained significant traction in Nigeria, amassing over 50 million users since its launch on February 15, 2024.

Robbin emphasized that the method of token allocation is still under consideration, and specific processes cannot be communicated until finalized. “The token launch was postponed until 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,” he stated.

Robbin also mentioned that those exploiting the system to farm taps and abuse the game would be banned, with community members conducting checks to ensure genuine participation. He urged users to remain patient.

“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,” Robbin explained. “The more tokens you want to have, the more tapping you have to do.”

Regarding the booster option, which has ended, Robbin said it was introduced to allow new users to compete with early adopters. “We introduced a limited x2 donation because of the influx of new users. It was a way for them to get a fair allocation at TGE. The funds earned from it will be used to improve the game in the future.”

He assured users that the 25 staff members are working tirelessly to sustain the app’s operations and encouraged continued participation, noting that there is still time for users to earn tokens.

The app has become a sensation in Nigeria, with users obsessively tapping on their phones. In one viral clip, a Keke driver is seen tapping away on his phone while steering his moving vehicle. Another video shows traders in Northern Nigeria tapping vigorously on their screens.
