Tapswap, a popular tap-2-earn app, has launched a new game, Tappy Town, on its platform, despite controversy surrounding the allocation of tokens to its users.
The app, which has gained over 50 million users since its launch in February, required users to tap repeatedly on a Telegram bot screen to mine coins.
Tappy Town offers users a new way to earn rewards, with essential tips provided to help them succeed. The tips include building strategically, managing builders, balancing resources, and maximizing rewards. Tapswap encouraged users to keep building, assuring them that many opportunities abound.
However, the introduction of the new game comes amidst controversy surrounding the allocation of tokens to users. The platform has postponed token allocation twice this year, with no specific date in sight. Tapswap’s Head of Communications, John Robbin, attributed the delay to the need for a “win-win” token airdrop for all users.
Despite the controversy, Nigerians remain obsessed with tapping, with some asserting that they are waiting for tokens to buy cars and houses. The app’s popularity has raised concerns about the sustainability of its business model and the potential for users to lose out.
Tapswap has assured users that many opportunities abound and encouraged them to keep building. However, the delay in token allocation has left many users frustrated and skeptical about the platform’s intentions.
