In recent days, Nigerians of all ages have been fervently tapping on their phone screens, aiming for financial gain. This frenzy centers around Tapswap, a popular clicker app accessible via a Telegram bot, where users tap to mine digital coins.

Tapswap’s sudden surge in popularity has sparked a nationwide phenomenon, with many eager to profit from the trend. Viral videos depict individuals of all ages obsessively tapping on their phones, including a Keke driver tapping while driving and youths multitasking in Ogun State.

Web3, or Web 3.0, represents a new generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and token-based economics. Tapswap, like other crypto clicker apps, rewards users for tapping and inviting others, creating a community-driven marketing model.

Many Nigerians have profited from similar ventures, such as the Notcoin airdrop, which increased their crypto holdings. The success of Notcoin, where early adopters earned significant amounts, has driven the popularity of Tapswap.

Despite the excitement, the success of airdrops can vary, with rewards depending on user engagement and market conditions.

Tapswap’s mining phase will conclude on May 30, 2024, after which the token conversion rates will be determined. As the trend continues, both enthusiasts and skeptics watch closely, assessing its impact on Nigeria’s digital economy.
