TapSwap Set to Launch TAPS Token on The Open Network
TapSwap, the popular Telegram tap-to-earn game, has announced its plans to launch the TAPS token on The Open Network (TON) in the latter part of January 2025. This move will include an airdrop of rewards for players, marking a significant milestone for the game’s ecosystem.
The introduction of TAPS will play a crucial role in the TapSwap platform, offering holders access to various benefits such as tournaments, staking rewards, and governance participation. This token is set to enhance the overall gaming experience for users.
Players’ eligibility for the TAPS airdrop will be based on their level of engagement within TapSwap. Those who actively participate in the game and connect their wallet will stand a chance to receive these rewards.
What began as a simple tap-to-earn game has evolved into a more immersive experience with the addition of “Tappy Town,” a city builder mode. Achievements earned in this mode will also impact a player’s likelihood of receiving the TAPS airdrop.
Looking ahead, TapSwap is shifting towards a skill-based platform, offering competitive tournaments and moving away from traditional pay-to-win models. This strategic shift aims to provide a fair and engaging gaming environment for all players.
Since its launch in February, TapSwap has attracted over 50 million users worldwide, showcasing its growing popularity within the gaming community.
Telegram gaming and engagement on The Open Network have seen significant growth, with games like Hamster Kombat and Notcoin gaining traction. Notcoin, in particular, garnered attention for its massive player base and token distribution, securing listings on top crypto exchanges.
The Open Network, founded by Nikolai and Pavel Durov, has seen its native token Toncoin (TON) surge in value by nearly 200% in the past year, reaching a market cap of over $16 billion. This places TON among the top crypto assets by market capitalization, reflecting the network’s growing influence in the blockchain space.
