🚀 The TAC project aims to open access to TON ecosystem for EVM applications

⚫️ Recently, news about the launch of a Layer 2 network on TON made the rounds, but it later became clear that this is not a TON Foundation development but a private initiative from the Bemo project team. Let’s delve into the details:

— The architecture of TON fundamentally differs from Ethereum and other EVM blockchains. Because of this, porting an EVM application or game to TON has always been challenging.

— The newly announced TON Application Chain (TAC) project now allows the launch of applications for EVM and provides access to them for TON users.

— This L2 solution («overlay» on the main L1 blockchain) is implemented using Polygon CDK technology.

— TAC is led by Pavel Altukhov (also the CEO of the liquid staking protocol @bemofinanceENG), and The Open Platform has backed the project.

— Pavel told The Daily TON that the launch of TAC is scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year.

— According to him, EVM application developers will be able to use their code in TAC without modifications, and for users, the experience will look like this: «Connecting a TON wallet directly to an application running in TAC, and interacting with it from the TON side».

⚫️ We anticipate the migration of DeFi projects from other blockchains to TON, meaning a new round of competition in the ecosystem and more interesting activities for users.
