Ethereum changed the world of finance. Out of Ethereum's vision came the building blocks of decentralized finance, DEXes, lending markets, stablecoins, derivatives, all powered by open smart contracts.
But even with all its success, Ethereum has always faced one big challenge: distribution. The technology is there, but the experience of using it often feels too complicated. Most people never made it past the maze of seed phrases, RPC errors, and confusing websites.
This is where TAC steps in.
TAC takes Ethereum’s financial logic and places it inside the world’s most crypto-native messaging platform, Telegram. By doing so, TAC doesn’t just scale Ethereum technically, it scales it globally, turning DeFi into something people can access as easily as they open a chat.
Why Distribution Was the Missing Piece
In the early days of DeFi, the energy was undeniable. DeFi Summer in 2020 felt like a revolution. Yet outside of the crypto-native bubble, hardly anyone knew this was happening.
The problem wasn’t the tech. It was distribution. Imagine building the world’s best app but hiding it behind ten setup screens and a set of instructions in another language. That’s what DeFi felt like for most people.
Now imagine the opposite. What if you could bring that app directly into the platform people already use daily? No new downloads, no strange setups, no steep learning curve. That’s what TAC does by connecting Ethereum-based dApps to to the TON and Telegram ecosystem. It transforms DeFi from a niche playground into a mainstream experience.
Telegram: Crypto’s Digital Town Square
Telegram is where the crypto world already lives. News breaks there first. Trading groups pulse with activity. Communities organize in real time. Memes, ideas, and movements start in Telegram chats and ripple outward.
TAC’s vision is simple; bring Ethereum’s financial logic to the very place where crypto users already spend their time. Instead of asking people to go out of their way, TAC puts DeFi right inside their daily digital life.
Picture this. You’re in a trading group on Telegram, and someone shares a Mini App link. With one tap, you’re inside a clean interface where you can swap tokens and borrow against your holdings. No copy-pasting wallet addresses. No hopping between tabs. Just financial logic woven into your conversation flow.
That’s what TAC means by extending Ethereum’s reach.
TAC’s Architecture: Built for Ethereum and Telegram
So how does TAC actually make this possible? Let’s break it down in simple terms:
- A Purpose-Built Blockchain. TAC is its own Layer 1 chain. It’s built on CosmosEVM (evmOS) and is compatible with Ethereum smart contracts. Developers don’t need to learn a new language. If they can write Solidity, they can release their product on the TON and Telegram ecosystem through TAC.
- Secured for the Long Run. TAC uses Delegated Proof of Stake, and soon, Babylon’s Bitcoin staking adds an extra layer of security.
- The TON Adapter. This is the real unlock. The TON Adapter is TAC’s cross-chain framework that lets Ethereum logic connect directly to Telegram Mini Apps. It’s what powers the concept of Hybrid dApps, where logic stays on TAC’s EVM layer, but the interface lives inside Telegram.
This setup means users get the familiarity of Telegram and the reliability of Ethereum, without ever feeling like they’re juggling two different worlds.
Hybrid dApps: The Best of Both Worlds
Hybrid dApps are where TAC’s vision comes to life. The idea isn’t entirely new. Crypto has seen attempts to blend on-chain logic with consumer interfaces before, but TAC makes it seamless inside Telegram.
Here’s an example:
- You want to earn yield on your USDT. Normally, you’d go through a wallet, a dApp, and multiple confirmations.
- With TAC, you just open a Mini App in Telegram. The Mini App’s interface is Telegram-native but the transaction executes on TAC’s EVM chain using Ethereum-compatible logic.
The experience is smooth, safe, and instant. To the user, it feels like a FinTech app. To the developer, it’s Ethereum code running in a familiar environment.
Hybrid dApps open the door for all kinds of new experiences:
- Games where users earn yield or swap tokens without leaving the chat.
- Prediction markets that live inside group discussions.
- Fintech tools like remittances or payments, delivered through Telegram’s UX and powered by Ethereum’s trustless backend.
This is how Ethereum’s reach gets extended, not by replacing what exists, but by making DeFi dApps accessible to where the users already are.
Liquidity That Powers It All
Through the Summoning Campaign, TAC launched with serious momentum, over $800M in liquidity at its peak. The campaign ensures that the TAC powered Telegram Mini Apps would be gateways to real liquidity from day one.
Liquidity on TAC is unified with TON. This avoids the fragmentation that has slowed down other ecosystems. Instead of scattered liquidity pools, TAC builds one big reservoir that all Telegram Mini Apps can tap into.
For Developers: Scaling Without Reinventing
From the developer’s perspective, TAC is a dream scenario. You don’t have to abandon Solidity or rebuild from scratch. TAC supports existing Ethereum tooling. But the real magic is the distribution unlock. Instead of building a dApp and fighting to onboard users one by one, developers can instantly tap into Telegram’s billion-strong user base. Your lending protocol isn’t just a website, it’s a Mini App inside the daily flow of millions of conversations. Your DEX isn’t buried in bookmarks, it’s a one-tap Telegram experience.
TAC isn’t just infrastructure. It’s infrastructure with distribution built in.
Why This Matters for the Whole Community
For users, TAC means DeFi is no longer intimidating or hidden. It’s something you can access in the same place where you talk to friends, follow markets, or share memes.
For developers, TAC means your code doesn’t just live on EVM chains, it lives in front of a massive audience, ready to be used without onboarding headaches.
For liquidity providers, TAC means new yield opportunities that aren’t stuck behind complex UX. Liquidity becomes more useful because it powers apps people actually use daily.
Together, this creates a feedback loop: more users means more liquidity, which attracts more developers, which creates better apps, which brings in more users.
The Bigger Picture
Ethereum gave us the foundation; decentralized financial logic. TAC gives us the path to scale: distribution through Telegram. Together, they don’t just add up, they multiply.
We’re entering a new era where DeFi isn’t something niche or hard to access. It’s part of everyday life, woven into the apps people already use. From swapping stablecoins during a chat to joining a DAO through a Mini App, financial participation becomes natural.
The future of Ethereum doesn’t stop at EVM chains. With TAC, Ethereum extends into Telegram, reaching more people than ever before.
