Overview of TON Applications Chain (TAC) on Ethereum
A group of developers linked to The Open Network on Telegram introduced the TON Applications Chain (TAC) at the Ethereum Community Conference, presenting a Polygon-powered solution to connect EVM-based dapps with TON.
Development of TAC and Integration with Polygon CDK
The TON Applications Chain (TAC) is designed to expand TON’s ecosystem beyond its private messenger app using Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK) for Ethereum-based smart contract developments, providing compatibility with DeFi applications.
Clarification from TON Foundation on TAC Development
Alenka Shmalko and Antony Tsivarev from TON Foundation clarified that the foundation was not involved in the creation of TAC, debunking misleading reports claiming otherwise and emphasizing the separation between TAC and the foundation’s initiatives.
Growth of Layer-2 Networks and Ethereum Scaling Solutions
The launch of TAC aligns with the trend of entities introducing layer-2 networks to scale Ethereum while reducing transaction fees, with examples like OKX’s “X Layer” and Coinbase’s “Base” contributing to the ecosystem’s expansion and advancement.
