In a recent statement, TapSwap, the popular cryptocurrency mining app, addressed concerns surrounding its alleged ban on Nigerian users. The app has been making headlines as Nigerians reported difficulties accessing it, leading to speculation about a potential ban. However, TapSwap clarified that there are no plans to ban Nigerians from using the app and attributed the challenges to technical issues.
The Rumors
Over the past few days, many Nigerians participating in the TapSwap crypto project found it difficult to open the app. Some users even resorted to using VPNs to gain access. As rumors circulated about a potential ban, TapSwap decided to set the record straight.
TapSwap’s Official Statement
In a message to the Nigerian community, TapSwap explained the situation: “We’ve heard concerns about limiting access to users from your country, but we want to clarify that this is not the case. We had to enable verification for the region from where DDoS attacks were initiated. As promised, we will disable this once our infrastructure is fully adapted.”
The company expressed appreciation for its global user base and assured Nigerians that they are welcome on the platform. TapSwap emphasized that the technical challenges were temporary and would be resolved soon.

Why TapSwap Isn’t Opening
Meanwhile, a user pointed out that the app’s current unavailability wasn’t cause for alarm. According to her, it was a general issue affecting all users, not just Nigerians. The TapSwap Telegram community confirmed that maintenance was underway, which explains the temporary disruption.
