Telegram Game TapSwap to Launch Its TAPS Token on BNB Chain on February 14

Telegram-based click-to-earn game TapSwap has announced that its upcoming TAPS token will be released on BNB Chain instead of the TON network as originally planned. The game had originally planned to complete the token airdrop in late January, but recently said that it had postponed the token launch in the hope of finding better market conditions based on the advice of an unnamed "tier-one" decentralized exchange. However, after completing the first season of the game on February 6, the project decided to move forward with the token launch on BNB Chain, which is expected to take place on February 14 according to an X post earlier this week.

“The launch of TAPS tokens on BNB Chain will improve speed, security, and accessibility, making TapSwap more attractive to players and investors,” the project said. Users will earn the upcoming tokens based on their overall engagement with the TapSwap Click to Earn game. However, in the future the game plans to transition away from the click to earn model and integrate skill-based gameplay.
