Tapswap has announced its launch on the Open Network (TON) blockchain, addressing previous uncertainty about its blockchain platform.
The Tapswap team shared this news on their X page, explaining their choice. The post read: “Exciting News: Blockchain Announcement. We’re thrilled to announce that TapSwap will launch on the TON blockchain! This well-thought-out decision is the best option for delivering the ultimate experience for our ever-growing community. Stay tuned for more updates and details! Get ready to tap into new possibilities with #TON.”
Previously powered by the Solana blockchain, Tapswap created a stir in the crypto community when it parted ways with Solana without revealing its new blockchain partner. This uncertainty caused negative PR for the project.
The new announcement has cleared the air and restored confidence among project participants.
The Open Network (TON) Blockchain: Telegram has become a significant player in the crypto industry, hosting various Web 3 projects like Notcoin, Hamster Kombat, Tapswap, Yescoin, and Blum.
The Open Network (TON), Telegram’s blockchain, drives cryptocurrency adoption while leveraging Telegram’s social media capabilities. Originally developed by Nikolai Durov and the Telegram team, TON integrates blockchain and cryptocurrency into the Telegram ecosystem. It is a high-performance blockchain designed to handle large-scale transactions and applications.
TON’s native crypto token, Toncoin, allows users to pay blockchain fees and participate in governance decisions. Developed in 2018, TON is rapidly becoming a major player in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, leveraging Telegram’s 800 million user base.
What to Know: Tapswap is not the only Web 3 clicker game launching on TON. Yescoin and Hamster Kombat, both Telegram-based Web 3 projects, have also announced plans to launch on the TON blockchain.
With over 50 million players globally, Tapswap is one of the biggest Telegram-based Web 3 projects. It is popular in Nigeria and often compared to Notcoin, the first Web 3 project to pay Nigerians for their mining efforts.
