Is Tapswap a scam?

Based on his observation, the cryptocurrency analyst said the promoters of Tapswap were playing with people.

Another observation he made was that Tapswap no longer claims to be powered by the Solana blockchain.

He pointed out that Tapswap initially had "powered by Solana" written around the coin, but that has been changed. He said what is written on the coin now is "powered by community".

In reaction, another cryptocurrency analyst, Ekeson Egwuonwu, told Legit.ng that the changes may not mean Tapswap is a scam.

He stated:

"If you watch what Tapswap is doing, Tapswap seems to be raising money. He pointed out that Solana denounced Tapswap and said that they didn't know them, but I'm yet to verify the statement. Yes, there was a time when Tapswap said their coin was powered by Solana, but later, they removed it. They decided to use the community. The community is you and I. They are the people who are mining the coin. They changed from 'powered by Solana' to 'power by the community', which means the community they are talking about is you and I.

"The news he pointed out, these people are just sponsors. They are sponsoring Tapswap. They are trying to establish their business through Tapswap because Tapswap has a customer base. I'm not trying to kick against his points, but the tendency of Tapswap not being a scam is higher than it being a scam. For me, Tapswap is not a scam."
