Interview with Tap Project team (2018 Recap Vs Now)
Recap of CryptoRand 2018 Interview
In 2018, we had the pleasure of being interviewed by CryptoRand. Two years later the team decided to take the opportunity to review the the questions that were asked and see where we are today.
If you haven’t already please check out the Interview on the CryptoRand Medium page.
In the interview, CryptoRand asked the following :
What are the main pillars of your company?
The tap project has many great qualities and strength, if we were to point out 3 main pillars of the project it would be:
1) Long Term Focused : Most projects in the blockchain space are so focused on short turn gains and quick cash grabs that they don’t take the time to plan and think about what they want the focus or the final product to look like or feel. When the tap project look at changes and improvements, we always as ourself, what is the long term goal. How will this benefit the project, community, ecosystem in 3, 6, even 12 months from now and is it something that we can build on and expand.
2)Innovation and creation: If we aren’t innovating, then we should at least be creating. That is how the team thinks. We want to always be driving improvements and having other projects look at us and say “why didn’t we think of that”. Having been first in the gaming space and holding numerous patent pending, we are always thinking about how can we improve and the core that we have built.
3)Learning from our mistakes: We are the first to admit that we make mistakes and that not every path that we are going to walk will be the right one, but we are always monitoring and analyzing our paths and when we find that something didn’t go as we planned, we look at the reasons why and how we can prevent it from happening again. With the Tap Project continually innovating, there is always areas that don’t go according to plan, its expected, but we also ensure that we learn each and every day
4) (BONUS) Community Focused: The one thing we have maintained from day one, is interaction and ensuring to leave the door open for communication with our community. We are apart of that community also, so if we release something that we don’t like, we know that the community won’ either. And so we are always polling for thoughts, and doing our best to ask questions and provide thoughtful answers
What’s the role of the tokens (Tapcoin “TTT”)at Tap project?
The Tap Project is a revolutionary blockchain project that aims to decentralize the gaming industry by providing gamers and developers with options and opportunities when it comes to in-game virtual currencies; By allowing gamers opportunities to convert and transfer their in-game currencies across multiple platforms and games. The Tap plugin built for Unity and Unreal, increases discoverability, engagement, cross-platform play and revenue for developers using a tiered transactional revenue model.
Our biggest feature is creating the cross platform, universality and connectivity that all games have but the gaming industry is choosing to neglect. And at the center of this all is the Tapcoin (“TTT”) as a medium of transition and value — Connecting with blockchain allows users to capture that value system. We have created the Tapcoin as the method in which all the transactions and game currency will move into before connecting to another game, so it is quite integral.
About the team and supporters, what are your strengths?
As mentioned above some of our biggest strengths are our Long term focus, creativity and innovation, learning from our mistakes and our grit and determination. Over the last couple of years we have shown that grit and determination can carry you further than any financial raise. If you team is not committed to see your project through, no amount of money will help.
Thinking about the future, do you have any roadmap with relevant upgrades?
We definitely do, we just released our latest Roadmap that carries us until the end of 2020 and into 2021. Here are some points from the article:
- Tap N Go Rewards — Partner Challenges, Paypal Reward Giftcard Launch
- Tapcoin (TTT) Integration with Tap N Go Rewards
- Updated Partner Challenge Offers/ Partners
- Uniswap Listing & Liquidity Reward Program
- TTT Membership Rewards staking
- Tap Platform update — onboarding and slimming, UI update, and V2 integration

What’s the added value of Tap Project in comparison with other competitors?
When we look at the Tap Project compared to other gaming projects, one of the main things we bring to the blockchain space as well as the crypto/gaming space, is that we are always working to bring new crypto users to the space. We always think to ourselves, “how do we make it easy for them to join in on this revolution”. A lot of projects have this expectation that all users are created equal and that they should be advanced in the blockchain space, but the truth is that a lot of users are new to the space and are not sure what they need and what they should be doing. When we look at our entire TTT/Tap ecosystem, we work off the mantra “simple is always the best”. We try to eliminate unnecessary steps for users, we try to automate everything that we can that new users to the space can jump right in and not have to fight this giant learning curve that is associated with blockchain. That is just one of the many added values that we bring to the space that other projects fail to notice or don’t devote the time into doing.
Evaluation of the current scenario for Tap Project the gaming industry and the blockchain ecosystem.
The current scenario for the Tap Project and its products is quite interesting. In 2018, we started out with heavy development within the blockchain space and ensured that we had a very strong platform to work from. We built an SDK that integrated with Unity and Unreal Engine games and integrated the platform with Steam PC gaming. This has allowed us to build off of what we started and continue layering our product. In 2020, we released Tap N Go Rewards which provided an amazing stepping stone for mobile gaming users to get exposed to the Tap Project and its products. The above and all that we have done has placed the Tap Project in the middle of two of the largest gaming markets, Mobile and PC. As we steer towards the end of 2020, the main focus for the team will be tweaking the tapcoin and connecting the final piece of the project , the tapcoin into all the Tap Project elements.
Thank you for your time.
Looking back at where we were and where we want to be is super important for our team and provides and opportunity for needed reflection. We will continue to advance the project and are super excited about where 2020 and 2021 will bring us.
