Tapswap, the popular tap-to-earn app powered by TON Blockchain, has launched a new game on its platform following recent delays in token allocations. This move comes after the app clarified that tokens for gamers would now be distributed in the third quarter of the year, which began in July.
The app, known for its tap-to-earn model where users repeatedly tap an icon to mine coins, has seen significant traction in Nigeria, amassing over 50 million users since its February 15, 2024, launch.
On Tuesday, Tapswap announced the introduction of a new game, “World of Tappy Town,” on its X handle. The platform provided essential gameplay tips, including strategic building, effective resource management, and maximizing rewards. The game encourages players to use in-game currency, called Shares or Blocks, to build and upgrade their virtual town, manage builders, and balance resources.
Despite the excitement surrounding the new game, the platform has faced criticism for repeatedly postponing token allocations. The first delay was announced by Head of Communications John Robbin in June, with a new date set for July 1, which was subsequently missed. Tapswap has now indicated that the allocation will occur in the third quarter, with ongoing discussions with major exchanges to prevent further delays and protect the game from potential scammers.
In a recent update, Tapswap reassured its users that the new game offers ample opportunities and encouraged them to continue building their virtual cities while awaiting token distribution.
The postponement of token allocations has sparked frustration among users, many of whom are eagerly awaiting their earnings to make significant purchases, such as cars and houses.
The app’s management has pledged to keep the community informed and ensure a smooth token distribution process as they continue negotiations with global exchanges.
