TAC Mainnet: Connecting Ethereum DeFi Applications to Telegram Through TON
Summary
The document describes TAC as an independent layer-1 blockchain in the TON ecosystem that aims to make Ethereum-compatible DeFi applications available through Telegram. Its EVM compatibility is presented as a way for developers to port applications with limited code changes, while partnerships with infrastructure providers are said to support development. The article also describes a liquidity campaign, Bitcoin and TAC staking, delegated proof of stake, and a fee model that converts EVM gas costs into TON tokens.
It reports a large TVL figure, stated staking yields and inflation, and audits that found no critical vulnerabilities, but offers no independent evidence or details on measurement, audit scope, or risks. It acknowledges that cross-chain bridging and state mirroring add trust assumptions and sequencing complexity. Overall, this is a project overview with claims about design and adoption; it does not provide a comparative security assessment or a method for evaluating the sustainability of the incentives.
Key ideas
- TAC is described as an independent layer-1 in the TON ecosystem with EVM compatibility.
- Its design aims to expose Ethereum DeFi applications through Telegram without requiring developers to rewrite them extensively.
- The article outlines dual staking, delegated proof of stake, and gas fee abstraction as parts of TAC’s economic and user experience design.
- Cross-chain bridging and state mirroring introduce additional trust and sequencing risks.
- Reported TVL, yields, and audit outcomes lack supporting methodology in the document.
