TapSwap, a tap-to-earn game originally set to launch its TAPS token on The Open Network (TON), has announced it will launch on the BNB Chain instead. This decision follows an exclusivity agreement between Telegram and TON, which mandates that all mini-games or applications with crypto integration utilize TON exclusively.
The game had initially expected to complete its token airdrop in January 2025 but delayed its launch based on recommendations from an unnamed Tier 1 decentralized exchange, seeking improved market conditions.
Following the conclusion of its first gameplay season on Feb. 6, TapSwap confirmed that the TAPS token will now debut on the BNB Chain on Feb. 14, 2025.
In a recent post on social media, the TapSwap team emphasized the advantages of BNB Chain, citing its speed and scalability, which purportedly allows for thousands of transactions per second. They stated, “Launching TAPS on BNB Chain boosts speed, security, and accessibility, making TapSwap even stronger for players and investors.”
Users of TapSwap are expected to earn tokens based on their engagement levels within the game. However, the project is looking to transition away from its tap-to-earn model, exploring instead the integration of skill-based gaming elements.
Other projects, such as Farm Frens, have also indicated intentions to launch on alternative chains, such as Ethereum layer-2 network Base, directly critiquing TON by labeling it “The Closed Network.”
