What Is ‘TapSwap’? The Telegram Tap-to-Earn Game and Airdrop Details

If you’re familiar with popular games like Notcoin or Hamster Kombat, then you’ll quickly grasp the concept of TapSwap. This viral Telegram tap-to-earn game is making waves as it announces its official launch on The Open Network (TON).

With already over 50 million users and a highly anticipated airdrop on the horizon, TapSwap has taken the tap-to-earn gaming industry by storm. While the idea might sound familiar, TapSwap offers Telegram gamers yet another exciting opportunity to earn cryptocurrency while enjoying their favorite game. Here’s everything you need to know.

What is TapSwap?

TapSwap has recently gained immense popularity in the tap-to-earn genre, following the monumental gaming airdrop conducted by Notcoin. Surpassing Notcoin in terms of total players, Hamster Kombat has proven that the appetite for these games is still going strong.

Even though TapSwap has just announced its token launch on TON, the game’s Telegram channel has swiftly become the second-largest channel (next to Hamster Kombat), boasting twice the number of members compared to Notcoin’s official announcements channel.

How to play TapSwap

At its core, TapSwap operates on a similar premise to Notcoin, before the airdrop. To start playing, you simply access the game through a Telegram mini app on either iOS or Android and commence your gaming journey directly within the messaging platform. In the game, you’ll tap a golden coin located at the center of your screen to accumulate points. However, there’s a catch—you can only tap as long as your “Energy” bar permits, after which you’ll have to wait for it to recharge.

Players can earn bonus points by completing special tasks such as joining TapSwap’s social media community or registering for a Binance exchange account (complete with KYC). Additionally, you can refer friends to the game, receiving not only an initial burst of coins but also additional coins based on their in-game activity.

To enhance your tapping abilities and earn even more coins, you can utilize boosts. Every day, you’ll receive three free boosters: “Tapping Guru” and “Full Tank.” Tapping Guru boosts increase your points per tap, while Full Tank refills your energy bar, allowing you to continue tapping.

Aside from the daily free boosters, you also have the option to purchase premium boosts using your accumulated coins. These premium boosts include Multitap, which increases your coins earned per tap, Energy Limit, which permanently extends your energy bar’s limit, and Recharging Speed, which accelerates the refill rate of your energy bar.

Lastly, there’s the Tap Bot. This bot will continue earning points for you even when you’re not actively playing the game. However, you’ll need to claim your rewards every 12 hours.

When is the airdrop?

TapSwap has confirmed that an airdrop will take place, and the welcome screen in the game reads, “The majority of TapSwap Tokens (TAPS) distribution will occur among the players here.”

Initially, TapSwap announced a Solana wallet integration upon launch. However, with the success of Notcoin and the fact that Hamster Kombat is also moving onto the TON network, it comes as no surprise that TapSwap has decided to release their token on TON.

In early May, the TapSwap team announced the upcoming launch of TapSwap Pools, initially planned for May 30th. However, due to a surge in bot activity attempting to exploit the airdrop system, the launch has been postponed until July 1st. This delay seems to be directly tied to the airdrop, as TapSwap Pools will enable users to exchange earned coins for TAPS tokens.
