TapSwap and Yescoin, both simple games playable via mini apps on the Telegram messaging platform, revealed plans in separate announcements on Thursday to launch on TON.
If you played Notcoin before the “mining phase” ended in April ahead of the token launch, then TapSwap will be very familiar to you. It has the same core premise of tapping a golden coin on your smartphone screen via the Telegram mini app, earning in-game coins for upgrades and enhancements as well as towards a future crypto token airdrop.
TapSwap—which claims some 50 million players—previously offered Solana wallet integration, but said Thursday that it will ultimately launch on TON instead. “This well-thought-out decision is the best option for delivering the ultimate experience for our ever-growing community,” the project tweeted.

Meanwhile, Yescoin takes a different approach to the Telegram “clicker” premise. Its game has players racking up in-game coins by swiping their fingers across the screen. It has a lo-fi pixel aesthetic and similarly lets players increase their earnings by spending some of the coins on various upgrades and other perks.

Yescoin had teased a major collaboration in recent days and, on Thursday, posted on its Telegram channel that it was working with TON. In the message, the project alluded to a potential “YES” token ticker with phrasing including, “Yes, let say YES!”
The Open Network tweeted that Yescoin has amassed some 18 million users in a little over a month as more and more Telegram users flock to crypto-earning games on the platform.
