Deploy on EVM; Distribute on Telegram.

If you’re an Ethereum developer, chances are you’ve already walked the path most of Web3 has followed. You’ve invested deeply in Solidity, built and audited contracts, experimented with L2s, optimized for calldata and gas, and integrated with infrastructure that has become second nature — Chainlink for oracles, The Graph for indexing, OpenZeppelin for patterns, Uniswap for liquidity.

But for all that engineering excellence, one thing remains painfully unresolved. It is distribution.

Shipping contracts is easy. Getting users to interact with them is not.

You’ve likely explored all the usual avenues, deploying to new chains, designing thoughtful liquidity programs, and fine-tuning onboarding flows. Still, the challenge remains, reaching beyond the familiar Web3 audience. Even the most robust protocols often find themselves siloed, accessible only through layers of tooling and assumptions that everyday users aren’t equipped or inclined to navigate.

What if that friction could be removed entirely? What if your protocol could be accessed not through a wallet extension or a dApp browser, but through the single most engaged interface in crypto, Telegram?

This isn’t a hypothetical. It’s exactly what TAC enables, and it doesn’t require rewriting your contracts. It only requires you to see Telegram for what it is, a billion-user crypto distribution channel waiting to be unlocked.

Conversion Without Hassles: Reach a Billion Users Where They Already Are

Telegram is often misunderstood as just a messaging app. In reality, it’s the beating heart of the crypto internet, the one place where communities form, tokens are shilled, whales flex, builders coordinate, and users engage daily. With over a billion users, Telegram isn’t just big, it’s native to crypto in a way that few other platforms are.

Its users already own tokens. They already use wallets like Tonkeeper and Telegram’s native Wallet. They already understand crypto-native mechanics from sticker airdrops to tipping bots to NFT-based gamification. What they don’t do, for the most part, is use your dApp. And that’s not because your protocol isn’t useful or your architecture isn’t sound. It’s because the conversion path is too steep.

To use your app today, even a crypto-savvy Telegram user needs to go through a convoluted set of steps. Install a wallet like MetaMask, bridge assets to an unfamiliar L2, wrap tokens, understand the mental model of your protocol, visit a browser-based site, connect a wallet, and hope they’ve landed on the correct version. Each step introduces friction. Most users never make it to the finish line.

TAC changes that by collapsing the distance between user and protocol into a single interface - Telegram MiniApps.

With TAC and its TON-Adapter, your smart contracts, still written in Solidity, still deployed on an EVM can be accessed directly through MiniApps that load instantly within Telegram. There’s no browser switch, no separate wallet download, and no new onboarding flow. The user never leaves the app. And more importantly, they don’t need to understand DeFi to interact with it.

Your protocol becomes just another button inside Telegram. That’s what “distribution without conversion” truly looks like.

Build in Solidity. Deploy as Usual. No Rewrite.

The most remarkable part of all this isn’t the user experience. It’s the developer experience. TAC doesn’t ask you to abandon your tools, your patterns, or your stack. You don’t need to port to Rust or learn a new SDK. You don’t need to rewrite your contracts or rebuild your architecture.

TAC offers you a seamless extension of what you already know: Solidity, EVM, Hardhat, and Foundry. It’s all still there.

Under the hood, TAC runs on CosmosEVM, a Cosmos-based EVM runtime that supports standard Ethereum tooling out of the box. This means your contracts behave just as they would on Ethereum or any rollup, but with faster execution, lower latency, and custom precompiles designed specifically for Telegram-facing use cases.

The real magic lies in the TON-Adapter, a native integration layer that allows Solidity smart contracts to interact with the TON ecosystem. Through this adapter, your contracts can:

• Trigger and respond to transactions from TON-native wallets (like Tonkeeper and Telegram Wallet),
• Accept and settle in Jettons, the token standard of TON,
• Serve as backend logic for Telegram MiniApps, without requiring any change in your existing frontend or deployment practices.

What this unlocks is a new execution environment. Your contracts are still deployed to an EVM, still composable, still permissionless, but now they can be called directly from Telegram-native UX, and they can interact with Telegram-native assets.

In short, your entire dev stack stays the same. But now it speaks the language of a billion users.

Hybrid dApps: Web3 Logic Meets Telegram UX

What emerges from this is a new category of application, Hybrid dApps that merge the security and composability of Ethereum with the virality and fluidity of Telegram.

These dApps are not limited by browser tab retention or mobile app friction. They’re embedded directly into the Telegram interface, loading instantly in chats, groups, and channels. They look and feel like traditional mobile apps, with smooth animations, responsive buttons, and rich UIs, but they’re powered by smart contracts you’ve already written.

A Hybrid dApp has a MiniApp frontend, a Telegram-native UX layer, an EVM execution layer on TAC, and a TON-based settlement layer. This layered architecture gives you the best of both worlds:

• The UX responsiveness of Web2, with familiar interactions inside Telegram, no external sign-ins, and instant launch from messages or bot prompts.
• The composability of Web3, where contracts remain permissionless, modular, and upgradable — using the same patterns you already employ on Ethereum.
• The distribution of social apps, where your protocol isn’t discovered on Twitter or an aggregator site, but through embedded flows inside existing consumer apps on Telegram.

And that’s where the real upside lives: your protocol no longer has to attract users. It can embed itself in apps that already have them.
