TAC’s Mission: Bringing Ethereum DeFi and EVM dApps to Telegram

TAC's mission is to open Telegram and its 1 billion+ users to the full breadth of web3 innovations by letting EVM developers use the tools they know and love. TAC deployed dApps feel completely native to the Telegram experience. To sum up, TAC exists to supercharge Telegram and the @ton_blockchain ecosystem.

Telegram is the most underutilized platform in crypto today. It has the reach and rails — TON, MiniApps, massive user engagement. The Telegram ecosystem is primed to onboard a new generation of builders and dApps. TAC’s mission is to help facilitate that.

By enabling EVM dApps to run on Telegram, TAC supports Telegram’s evolution as a full-fledged economic platform. Users can now swap, lend, trade, play, and participate in decentralized applications without leaving the app. And do it all from within Telegram using their in-app TON wallet.

The key to making it all work? TAC's TON-Adapter: A TON-centric asynchronous Interop layer that seamlessly connects TAC EVM Layer with TON. It brings dApps straight into Telegram. This deep integration allows Solidity developers to build dApps with the assurance that users can interact with them entirely on TON. These are called Hybrid dApps: apps running onchain business logic on TAC's EVM Layer 1 and frontend/transactional part on TON, designed for Telegram and TON users.

Now they can sign transactions right from TON Wallets, using TON Assets they already hold, without bridging or setting up new EVM wallets. From a user perspective, The UX feels native to the Telegram MiniApp and TON environment. But under the hood, It is powered by battle-tested dApps that come from the Ethereum ecosystem.

Where Telegram Becomes the Hub for DeFi and More

TAC’s architecture is more than a convenience layer. It's a catalyst. TAC brings years of experience and adoption from Ethereum, the expertise needed to attract sticky liquidity, enables novel yield strategies that onboard blue chip, yield-bearing assets, and integrates sophisticated, yet flexible, smart contracts into Telegram's native UX.

By connecting TON's user base with the richest library of decentralized financial primitives and assets, TAC aims to bring EVM-native apps to Telegram, transforming it into a crypto-native super app.

Telegram hosts consumer applications that onboard millions, becoming a distribution channel for DeFi primitives. By leveraging this massive user base, these DeFi primitives boost TVL and drive liquidity to TON. The result is a powerful network flywheel that turns TON into a magnet for builders.
