Meet TapSwap, the Telegram-based "tap-to-earn" sensation that has sucked in over 60 million users with the simple premise of tapping a virtual coin to earn real money. Sounds great, right? Well, hold on to your scepticism, because as of February 2025, TapSwap’s token launch is about as real as a polite argument on Twitter.
Let’s break down exactly how this project went from "game-changer" to "game... maybe later?"
The Timeline of Overpromises and Under-deliveries
Step 1: Get People Hyped (February – May 2024)
February 15, 2024 – TapSwap launches on Telegram, users start tapping like their financial future depends on it. (CryptoTimes)
May 30, 2024 – Airdrop is scheduled, but wait—bots! Suddenly, the team decides that everything is too compromised and pushes it to July. (Punch NG)
This is the crypto equivalent of telling your friends you’re hosting a party, then cancelling because you realised too many people actually showed up.
Step 2: Panic and Make Changes (June – October 2024)
June 2024 – TapSwap jumps ship from Solana to TON, because apparently, the first choice just wasn’t working out. (Legit NG)
July 1, 2024 – The TGE and airdrop are delayed again. At this point, the schedule is looking less like a roadmap and more like a desperate attempt to stall for time. (Punch NG)
October 2024 – Surprise! Nothing happens. No tokens, no exchange listings, just radio silence and growing frustration. (Punch NG)
Step 3: Postpone, Delay, and Pretend Everything is Fine (November 2024 – February 2025)
December 2024 – A new date! TGE set for January 23, 2025. (Traders Union)
January 2025 – Nope! They announce they’re abandoning BNB Chain because Telegram said so. New delay. (Punch NG)
February 14, 2025 – Airdrop postponed yet again, with a new date: February 17, 2025. Because what’s another delay at this point? (Punch NG)
It’s like when your friend promises to pay you back "next week"—except next week never comes, and now you’re just wondering if they ever had the money to begin with.
Naz Ventura: The Man Behind the Taps
Meet Naz Ventura, the elusive figure guiding TapSwap through its ongoing rollercoaster of big ideas and bigger delays. Under his watch, TapSwap switched blockchains, introduced a "Win-Win Monetization" model (which sounds suspiciously like pay-to-win), and made promises that would make a shady used-car salesman blush.
He frequently pops up on X (formerly Twitter) to reassure users that everything is fine—just ignore the delays and keep tapping!
Future plans? AI features, blockchain integrations, and—allegedly—a token launch that actually happens. (Blockchain Reporter)
Why People Are Getting Suspicious
1. The Development Team is Mysterious at Best
TapSwap’s devs are about as visible as Bigfoot. Good luck finding a LinkedIn profile. (Legit NG)
2. The Monetisation Strategy Feels... Off
You can "double" your in-game earnings by paying 1 TON (~$3.79 as of February 2025). So yes, you can tap for free, but if you don’t pay, you’re basically working at minimum tap-wage. (Legit NG)
3. Security Concerns
The Telegram mini-app has had glitches, and some users worry linking their wallets could open them up to phishing attacks. But hey, what's a little security risk among friends? (Legit NG)
So, Will TapSwap Ever Actually Launch?
Their latest promise is February 17, 2025—but if history tells us anything, that’s as reliable as a politician’s campaign pledge.
So, for now, keep tapping, keep hoping, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll get something other than another delay.
