PANews reported on February 8 that according to Decrypt, the Telegram-based click-to-earn game TapSwap announced that its upcoming TAPS token will be released on BNB Chain instead of the originally planned TON network. The game was originally scheduled to complete the token airdrop in late January, but recently stated that it postponed the token launch in the hope of finding better market conditions based on the advice of an unnamed "first-level" decentralized exchange. However, after completing the first season of the game on February 6, the project decided to advance 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.
In early January, Telegram and TON announced an exclusive agreement requiring all mini-games or applications that integrate cryptocurrencies to exclusively use TON. However, despite TapSwap previously touting its partnership with TON, it did not mention Telegram or any migration plans in its token launch announcement.
