3. Telegram Founder Announces TapSwap Miniapp Hits 56 Million Users

On June 25th, Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, announced on his personal Telegram channel that the TapSwap miniapp has quickly become popular on Telegram, with 56 million users currently. This crazy popularity was achieved within a few months without any marketing.

TapSwap is a clicker miniapp game found within the Telegram app that the TapSwap team calls a "cutting-edge financial platform". With its simplistic tap-to-earn gameplay that allows users to earn tokens by leveraging the miniapp's various mining and community engagement features, TapSwap has garnered a massive following. This virality is particularly prominent in regions with high mobile phone penetration and a growing interest in cryptocurrencies.

While the tap-to-earn model is exciting, it's still new and growing. As such, the long-term viability of TapSwap remains unclear. TapSwap allows users to explore crypto in a casual and engaging way. However, it's key to approach TapSwap with realistic expectations as the miniapp isn't a guaranteed path to riches.
