Tap Protocol unveils Tap Token (TAP) to boost functionality within the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem

The Tap Protocol is thrilled to unveil its native token, Tap (TAP), a fundamental element of its cutting-edge ecosystem. This token will be instrumental in enabling various functions, such as bridging assets between Ethereum and Bitcoin and offering staking opportunities for users.



The Tap Protocol has already made significant strides in the blockchain sphere with the introduction of a revolutionary bridge that allows for effortless transfers between Ethereum and Bitcoin. This capability places Tap Protocol at the leading edge of cross-chain interoperability, enabling users to seamlessly navigate both ecosystems.


The TapEthereum bridge, developed by TaparooSwap, stands as the first secure connection between Bitcoin L1 and Ethereum. This innovation allows for immediate trading of $TAP across both chains, granting users access to abundant liquidity and optimizing market efficiency.


Moreover, the Tap Protocol features the inaugural native Bitcoin swap, permitting users to conduct swaps directly on the Bitcoin network without relying on intermediaries. This advancement marks a major leap forward in the functionality of Bitcoin DeFi applications.


Key Highlights of Tap Token (TAP):

  • Ecosystem Token: TAP will facilitate a range of functions within the Tap Protocol ecosystem, such as bridge transactions and staking mechanisms, enabling users to earn rewards while engaging with the network.

  • Account Abstraction: The Tap Protocol implements account abstraction to enhance user experiences by streamlining transaction processes and boosting overall accessibility.

  • Privileged Authorities: TAP facilitates the establishment of privileged authorities within the ecosystem, allowing designated parties to execute specific functions, including performing Ethereum-like tasks natively on Bitcoin, such as the Multisend function or whitelisting.

  • Direct Bridge from Ethereum to Bitcoin: The unique bridge offered by Tap Protocol allows users to transfer assets seamlessly across these two leading blockchains, enhancing liquidity and accessibility.

  • Native Bitcoin Swap: With the introduction of TAP, users can now perform swaps directly on the Bitcoin network, simplifying the process and lowering transaction costs.


To launch its tokenomics, users holding 50 TAP tokens in their Ethereum wallets will enjoy zero swapping fees on the bridge.



As part of the launch initiative, users will have the opportunity to participate in staking programs that utilize TAP, further incentivizing community engagement within the ecosystem. The Tap Protocol team is committed to fostering a robust and user-friendly environment that promotes participation and innovation.
