We are continuing strong and going through the final preparations for our Early Contribution (“EC”) period which starts on October 5th at 12PM (PST) and ends on October 20th at 12PM (PST). Continuing with our transparency we put together basic step process for how our EC Funds will be used. Contributing to the EC directly impacts the success of the Tap Project and Early Contributors are vital to the project reaching its goal. And as a beneficial return we are making sure that Early contributors are provided that 30% bonus in Tap Coins. We have listed our distribution of Funds in our Early Contribution Details , but wanted to be transparent and breakdown what each of those things mean.

Tap Project Team

Our Alpha Platform is continuing to develop and one of the main goals of the EC period is to expand our development team by hiring an additional Full time programmer. Our full time programmer will be vital to continue our optimization of Tap in 2D and 3D game engines. Our designation will be long term as we build our developer/publisher packages and drop boxes.

Additionally, the funds will cover costs for expanding our development team to further cover contracts with , in-game designers, in-game economists, and full time game and tech developers.

Marketing & Development

Over the last 6 months the Tap Project has grown immensely and we have seen a 3500% increase in user base and exposure. We want to continue this effect and ultimately market the Tap Project to not only the Crypto Community but the mainstream as well. As indicated in the EC details, approximately 25% will go towards Marketing the Tap Project. At its current rate, marketing ICO’s may be a fairly new idea for a lot of agencies, however, the team prides itself on metrics and ensuring we actually get what we are paying for. There are a lot of marketing companies that want to charge anywhere from $50,000 to 1 or 2 % of minted tokens. If we are paying such a premium price we want to ensure that we are marketing properly, strategically and have a end goal in mind with our Marketing Managers. Furthermore, The Tap Project will be joining the International game developers association and be paying an annual fee to be a member. This will open a door for developers/publishers and legitimize the project.

Additionally, being involved in cryptocurrencies and marketing to the mainstream can be seen as a hard obstacle. Yes, it is true that although Bitcoin and Ethereum have made its way onto Financial TV shows and magazines, a lot of people (publishers/developers included) may not understand cryptocurrencies and see them as “invisible money”. A portion of the marketing will go into education and “buy in” to create a safe space for developers and publishers to truly understand that Crypto’s are not something to be afraid of. The team has focused on a series of gaming conferences and events and will be providing sponsorships to these events as well.

Business Development

Finally among the last main uses for the EC fund is to build partnerships/services and look at the beneficial aspects of mergers and acquisitions. We are expecting a time period where the Tap team will be required to increase its strength in the form of a merger or acquisition. We want to ensure that we leave this option open and for the betterment of The Tap Project. We do have potential acquisitions in the books and want to have the funds to bargain at the table.

As these are only a couple of main uses for the EC please see the Early Contribution Details for full information. We pride ourselves on transparency and being truly decentralized.
