Tac is a blockchain project announced in July 2024, designed as a layer chain fully compatible with EVM, aimed at connecting Ethereum DApps with the TON and Telegram ecosystem.
It is built on TON and has its own jetton TON token, collaborating with projects within the TON ecosystem to enhance TON's value (jetton is similar to Ethereum's ERC-20 token).
Due to Telegram's cessation of support for Mini Apps on blockchains other than TON in early 2025, developers need to adapt EVM applications to TVM, and Tac allows EVM developers to easily integrate with Telegram and TON.
The Tac team operates independently from TON and Telegram, having raised a total of $11.5 million through seed and strategic rounds from late 2024 to early 2025, with the latest $5 million strategic round led by Hack VC (which also participated in the previous $6.5 million seed round).
Telegram's TON-specific strategy for Mini Apps has sparked community disagreements, while TON Foundation's Steve Yun believes this move is reasonable from a security and scalability perspective.
Main Point:
For their developers, Tac provides a frictionless way to deploy on TON without having to rewrite code from scratch, thereby gaining the opportunity to access Telegram's billion-user base, which means that tapping into this billion users is no small feat.
Personal advice: Those that can get listed on Binance are not simple; sell at a high.
