1. Defining Notcoin and Tapswap
According to Binance, Notcoin (NOT) is a token that started as a play-to-earn game on Telegram. The game offered players the chance to "mine" its digital currency by engaging with an animated coin in the chat interface.
On the other hand, Tapswap is a fast-growing project in the decentralised finance sector that is also based on Telegram.
On its official X handle, Tapswap disclosed that it is a Solana-based crypto exchange with low fees, high throughput, and exciting features like staking and margin trading. Players earn Tap tokens by engaging the Telegram Tapswap bot in a crypto-mining game.
2. Tapswap has not been launched yet
The sudden rise in the popularity of the Tapswap has been attributed to the successful launch of the Notcoin.
It was valued at $0.00568 per unit, giving it a market capitalisation of $574 million, Bitcoin News reports. However, market prices are not stagnant.
Medium reports that Tapswap will have its launch pool on May 30, 2024, and members will be able to exchange the in-game rewards for the real asset on the program "$TAPS Token".
3. Notcoin can't be mined on Telegram anymore
The initial mining scheme of NOT officially ended on March 31, 2024, while Tapswap is still being mined on Telegram.
4. Notcoin and Tapswap don't require expert knowledge
When it was still minable on Telegram, Notcoin offered players tokens via fun and simple tasks that do not require expert crypto knowledge.
The same goes for Tapswap, which still gives players Tap tokens on Telegram after they complete simple tasks like joining groups or following X handles.
5. Tapswap is projected to surpass Notcoin's performance
According to a crypto expert who spoke with Legit.ng, Obani Ebenezer Nwokoma, Tapswap has great potential and would likely surpass the performance of Notcoin when it is eventually launched. In his words:
"Tapswap is a good project with lots of promising potential. If you ask me, I see a possibility of Tapswap doing better than Notcoin because of the blockchain involved, known as Solana. Solana has more value than Ton, and its popularity was before Ton rose to fame this year.
"The thing is, the more popular a coin, the more chances of it doing well."
