View ChartThis article covers TAC Protocol (TAC), the EVM-compatible Layer-1 built for the TON ecosystem. Note that at least one other unrelated project also uses the TAC ticker; verify the contract address before trading.
TAC Protocol (TAC) is an EVM-compatible blockchain purpose-built for the TON ecosystem and Telegram. It is designed to bring full DeFi functionality from day one by combining EVM infrastructure, pre-deployed blue-chip DeFi applications, and bootstrapped Ethereum and BTC liquidity. The network connects seamlessly to TON, allowing every user to interact from their TON wallet without fragmenting the existing ecosystem. With more than 100 million existing wallets on TON and direct access to Telegram's billion-user base, TAC positions itself as a distribution-ready EVM chain that does not need to bootstrap users from scratch. TAC Protocol's start date is July 14, 2025. Its execution layer is a Cosmos SDK/Ethermint-based Layer-1, while the TAC token also exists as a BEP-20 asset on BNB Smart Chain following a 1:1 contract swap. Its native token, TAC, has a total supply of approximately 10.12 billion and a circulating supply of roughly 5.97 billion.
Detailed public information about the founding team and individual creators of TAC Protocol is currently limited. The project lists TON Ventures, Hack VC, Animoca Ventures, Symbolic Capital, and Spartan Group as backers (per project materials). The tokenomics blog post notes that 22.1% of the token supply is allocated to early contributors and the founding team, with those tokens fully locked for a specified period. Beyond these references, the identities of the core team members have not been widely disclosed in the available materials.
TAC Protocol operates as an EVM-compatible blockchain that is purpose-built for the TON ecosystem and Telegram. It combines EVM infrastructure with pre-deployed blue-chip DeFi applications and bootstrapped Ethereum and BTC liquidity, enabling full DeFi functionality from the first day of operation. The network is seamlessly connected to TON, meaning users can interact with TAC through their existing TON wallets without needing to fragment or migrate their assets. This design allows Ethereum-based dApps to onboard smoothly and access the TON and Telegram user base. The protocol also supports a 1:1 contract swap on BNB Smart Chain, ensuring continuity for token holders across chains. Its architecture is focused on distribution and accessibility, leveraging the large existing user base of TON and Telegram rather than building a new user base from zero.
TAC's execution layer is a sovereign Layer-1 built with the Cosmos SDK and Ethermint, making it fully EVM-compatible so Solidity contracts can be deployed without code changes.
TAC uses a three-layer design: an execution layer (the TAC EVM Chain built on Cosmos SDK and Ethermint), a translation layer (the TON Adapter, a bidirectional asynchronous messaging layer), and Hybrid dApps that let Ethereum applications run for Telegram users.
TAC Protocol distinguishes itself through its exclusive focus on the TON ecosystem and Telegram. TAC Protocol positions itself as an early EVM-compatible blockchain purpose-built for the TON ecosystem and Telegram, per the project's own description. The combination of EVM infrastructure, pre-deployed DeFi applications, and bootstrapped Ethereum and BTC liquidity means that DeFi is available immediately rather than being built incrementally. The seamless connection to TON allows users to interact from their TON wallets, extending the ecosystem without fragmentation. With over 100 million existing wallets on TON and direct access to Telegram's billion-user base, TAC is positioned as a distribution-ready chain that does not need to bootstrap users. This distribution advantage, combined with its EVM compatibility, makes it easier for Ethereum dApps to onboard and reach a massive audience.
The TAC token serves multiple functions within the TAC Protocol ecosystem. It is used for network-level value capture, as outlined in the official tokenomics blog post. The token supports staking, DeFi activities, and participation in the broader TAC and TON ecosystems. TAC is also used in gaming and DApp environments, as indicated by its categorization. Holders can use TAC within pre-deployed blue-chip DeFi applications on the network, and it facilitates transactions and interactions on the EVM-compatible chain. The token is also listed on various trading platforms. Conversion tools on some platforms show TAC/USD rates (e.g., Crypto.com). Its utility is tied to the protocol's goal of providing full DeFi functionality and seamless access to the TON and Telegram user base.
The TAC Protocol ecosystem is developing around its integration with TON and Telegram, with a focus on providing EVM-compatible DeFi services to a large existing user base. The project launched in July 2025 and has since been listed on multiple trading venues, including Binance Alpha, and has undergone a 1:1 contract swap on BNB Smart Chain. The ecosystem includes pre-deployed blue-chip DeFi applications and supports staking, gaming, and DApp categories. The project's social presence is listed on X (Twitter) and other platforms per its TradingView listing. The project has also attracted backing from several venture firms. In July 2026 the token fell more than 90% in about 15 minutes, trading at $0.0046 after the crash. In August 2026, attackers exploited a Cosmos EVM vulnerability (GHSA-7g4w-cg88-2cq2), draining roughly 2.99 billion TAC from the staking pool — about 52% of circulating supply at the time. The tokenomics include vesting and unlock schedules for early contributors (22.1% of supply, fully locked for 1 period).
TAC is not mined through proof-of-work. Its execution layer uses Delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS), so block production is handled by validators rather than miners, with fast finality of around 2 seconds. Token holders can participate through staking rather than mining. Staking TAC may allow holders to contribute to network security or governance while earning rewards. The tokenomics include provisions for staking and DeFi participation. For those interested in acquiring TAC, it is available on various trading platforms and can be obtained through market purchases rather than mining. Detailed staking instructions and validator requirements are best found in the official documentation and community channels.
Keeping TAC tokens safe requires standard cryptocurrency security practices. The TAC token is issued on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), while the TAC execution layer is a Cosmos SDK/Ethermint-based Layer-1 connected to TON. Users should store their tokens in compatible wallets that support these networks. Hardware wallets are recommended for long-term storage as they keep private keys offline. Users should always verify contract addresses before interacting with any token, especially following the 1:1 contract swap on BSC. It is important to use official sources for downloading wallets and to avoid sharing private keys or seed phrases. Enabling two-factor authentication on exchange accounts and using unique passwords adds another layer of security. For those holding TAC on trading platforms, consider transferring assets to a personal wallet for greater control. Regularly updating wallet software and being cautious of phishing attempts also help protect holdings. Given the project's history of extreme price volatility, investors should also consider the risks associated with market fluctuations and manage their exposure accordingly.
