TAC Mainnet:- Telegram’s Open Network (TON) provides the messaging giant’s over one billion users with a native blockchain and MiniApp framework. In practice, it lays the groundwork for DeFi built directly into the chat interface.
However, TON itself isn’t EVM‑compatible, so developers couldn’t deploy existing Ethereum dApps without extensive rewrites. That gap is exactly what the new blockchain TAC Protocol aims to fill.,
A new Layer-1 blockchain TAC or Telegram Access Chain has just announced its mainnet launch as a TON-suported project. TAC will serve as a third-party blockchain that will bring Ethereum dApps to Telegram and TON blockchain.
With the mainnet launch today, the network is already seeing the deployment of leading DeFi Protocol’s. This includes Morpho Labs, Curve Finance, Euler Finance among other names.
TAC will enable Ethereum‑compatible dApps to tap directly into the TON and Telegram ecosystems without “rewrites and coiding”. This will help in bringing DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi, and other EVM applications to over 1 billion Telegram users.
TAC equips builders with a comprehensive suite of developer tools—TAC‑CLI, SDKs, and a Telegram MiniApp SDK. These tools will help in enabling the porting of existing Solidity contracts unchanged. In this way, MiniApps will be able to run seamlessly in Telegram chats with simple UI and in turn boosting on‑chain interactions.
It will also provide EVM devs access to a billion users by leveraging Telegram’s reach through TON. TAC is built atop CosmosSDK, Ethermint, and Tendermint Core and has delegated Proof‑of‑Stake (dPoS) with 3 second block times.
Further, it has also launched $TAC as the native asset of TAC.
Since launch, TON’s growth has been nothing short of explosive. Activated wallets has soared from 800,000 in September 2023 to 32 million by the end of 2024. It is increasingly transforming the messaging app into a Web3 gateway by embedding DeFi directly within its Mini‑App framework.
Now, its supported project TAC is further going to boost the DeFi activity on the app. The blockchain has ntegrated features like a decentralized browser and payments module, supporting over 20 wallets.
Thus, this seamless on‑ramp will lower barriers for both developers and users and can foster a booming Mini‑App ecosystem inside Telegram.
