The project was heavily criticized for delivering dust to its players. Dust is a crypto term used to describe trivial amounts of crypto that is typically left over from a transaction or trade. The key source of frustration for the hamster community is the long days spent in mining the project following its launch its March.

Some Nigerian miners earned as much as $500 Nigeria’s X community was enraged following the airdrops commenting on the listing while questioning the viability of Tap to earn projects from now.
