The internet today is controlled by a small group of centralized organizations and companies. There are a few main search engines, social media networks, and other platforms that have the power to control what we see and do online.
We need to change the way the web works, to being more decentralized and distributed. This will allow for greater innovation, freedom of speech, privacy, and access to information globally.
Web3 is here to change the existing model of the internet, and let people own and control their data and content and digital assets. It is a decentralized, peer-to-peer network that provides a more intelligent, decentralized, and personalized web space.
Tapx is on a mission to make web3 a more accessible, secure, and rewarding experience for its users and projects. To bring the next billion uses onto the next generation of the web. We do that by building a range of tools that enable more effective, faster, and trusted communication between web3 brands, influencers, creators and their communities. Enabling more adoption.
This whitepaper aims to do a few things. Firstly, it’s an introduction to Tapx and our new mission. More specifically, the whitepaper details the value we provide for our users and partners, as well as what technology is behind this project. We also cover tokenomics in depth so you can make your informed investment decisions.
Tapx is a Web3-enabled business with a mobile app on Apple and Android operating systems, a web platform for partner management, and an NFT authentication engine built on the Polygon blockchain.
The platform is designed to give authenticated users the ability to have control over their personal data, to connect with interesting Web3 projects with innovative blockchain-based projects, and to benefit from earning opportunities.
Launched in 2018, the company is supported by Outlier Ventures, with a growing team across the crypto, privacy, marketing and technology space.

Our first product under the previous brand of Tapmydata, the Rights Management Platform, was developed to help users reclaim their personal data from big exploitative companies, by using the Subject Access Request framework. As a result of this project, we were able to deliver a fully secure (encrypted) file and message delivery platform to return data directly to users.
With the launch of our second product (which we refer to in our community as V2) in December 2021, the main focus of the project shifted from reclaiming past users’ data to instead owning your personal data from today, and earning by sharing it selectively with verified Web3 projects.
We developed a new mobile app, available in both Apple IOS and Android app stores, along with our new Glitch NFT authentication engine. Users are able to connect their Web3 Metamask wallet, authenticate their identity by minting a personal Glitch NFT, and engage with verified partners in a rewarding and secure way.
With the V2 release, our platform moved from the Stellar blockchain to the Polygon blockchain. There are a multitude of reasons for this decision, but the main ones being the high speed and low cost of processing transactions. We wanted to make sure minting of the Glitch NFT and transactions within the App were fast and cost effective for all our users. We have also received a grant from Polygon to help further the progress of Tapx, and to reward our users with the MATIC token.
In 2022, we are now building and releasing the 3rd generation of our platform, that will help both web3 users and partners connect and engage with each other in accessible, safe and rewarding ways. With our new Web3 product suite, we aim to provide high utility and value to the fast growing community of Web3 projects.
This section of the whitepaper provides an in-depth look at the new 3rd generation platform which comprises the following 8 components:
Tapx mobile app, on Apple IOS and Android Play stores
Web3 project explorer
Personalised NFT-as-key authentication engine

Tapx personalised NFT-as-key mint engine
The Tapx NFT acts as a key to access unique content and rewards within the Tapx ecosystem.
It costs 5 MATIC to mint the NFT. When users first mint their Tapx NFT they will be rewarded with TAP tokens equal in value to the cost (in MATIC) of minting the NFT. These TAP tokens can be used to open a communication channel with a partner, in order to then earn that partner’s native token according to the terms set for each channel.

Technical Overview
Polygon network
Tapx is built on the Polygon network. Polygon is the leading platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its growing suite of products offers developers easy access to all major scaling and infrastructure solutions: L2 solutions (ZK Rollups and Optimistic Rollups), sidechains, hybrid solutions, stand-alone and enterprise chains, data availability solutions, and more.
Polygon’s scaling solutions have seen widespread adoption with 7000+ applications hosted, 1B+ total transactions processed, ~100M+ unique user addresses, and $5B+ in assets secured.
We believe Polygon is a great choice for delivering a fast, scalable and sustainable service for our users.
With the grant we received from Polygon, we can continue to push forward with innovation and development. And our community will have an opportunity to earn from their time and data.
TAP Token
Tapx has its own token – TAP which is based on ERC20 Ethereum token standard.
TAP Token Allocation
TAP Release Schedule
Utilities of Token
TAP is much more than just a payment token; it becomes the key for Tapx Users and Partners to interact in accessible, secure and rewarding ways.
Use cases for the TAP token already cover the following at launch of our 3rd generation ecosystem, and the list will expand with each new partnership, use case and trust node which is added to the ecosystem:
TAP Token Use Cases as the Ecosystem Grows

TAP Staking
Single-sided staking platform
Single-sided staking solution provides the capability for any user to earn TAP tokens that they can later use to open data channels, unlock pro features, and be the first to know the project updates and insights.
Single staking programme will allow all TAP holders to stake their tokens and earn a TAP return on the fees generated by the Tapx ecosystem.
LP staking platform
Our LP staking platform launched in March 2022 to give our users and investors the opportunity to earn rewards by adding their TAP tokens to liquidity pools. Under the new program,1,800,000 TAP / 300,000 TAP per month will be distributed among providers of liquidity to the above pools.
Liquidity mining is the process of staking the liquidity you add to the Tapx Uniswap and SushiSwap pools (either ETH pool or MATIC pool) and earning TAP rewards in return.
Scaling Tapx
We’re scaling Tapx in 3 ways:
Creating valuable tools for Partners and Users.
Our solutions enable Partners and People to connect and engage in secure and rewarding ways in the web3 world.
Building valuable partnerships.
We have rebranded to Tapx and have taken on a new marketing approach to establish our partnerships in web3.
We wanted to make sure that we were not just selling a product, but building valuable connections in order to grow together. That’s why we put emphasis on building a brand new marketing approach that would establish and strengthen our partnerships with clients.
Giving the Tapx community voice and control.
We will keep growing the Tapx community by creating valuable partnerships with trending companies and projects. Our goal is to give the community more governance over the Tapx future.
Conclusion
Tapx is on a mission to connect Web3 Users and Partners in Accessible, Secure and Rewarding ways.
Web 3 projects that are interested in efficiently connecting and engaging with their existing and new users will have a new suite of tools to help them. The tools we’re building will ease access to verified web3 users and will help organizations to improve their processes and achieve a better user experience.
With our set of tools web3 projects will be able to provide a more personalized experience to their users by using the data they collect in a way that benefits the user, rather than just using it for advertising purposes only. This means that they can grow their audience more efficiently because they don’t have to keep track of what users are looking at all the time or bombard them with ads.
For users, the result should be more secure access to rewarding experiences with authenticated Web3 projects, our Partners. Access to web3 projects will be faster and more seamless. Simply through participation in the ecosystem users will be able to engage with projects they like, share their data with them, and earn tokens for that.
This new paradigm will ultimately reduce the risk of data violation and help web3 projects grow their audience efficiently.
