During the Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) in Brussels, Belgium, The Open Network (TON) announced that it will enhance its blockchain ecosystem through a new Layer-2 network: TON Application Chain (TAC), which uses this network Achieved with Polygon technology.

Introduction to TON Application Chain (TAC)

The TON App Chain (TAC) will leverage Polygon’s development kit (CDK) and interoperability layer AggLayer. CDK is a customizable toolset that allows developers to create their own Layer-2 blockchains using Polygon’s zero-knowledge technology, while AggLayer serves as an interoperability layer to address blockchain fragmentation.

However, this is not a unique cooperation of TON. Recently, the Japanese public chain Astar also adopted Polygon’s products.

Telegram Blockchain Ton Still Must Attract Ethereum Ecosystem

TON is a blockchain integrated with the communication software Telegram. This integration of the Ethereum-compatible technical architecture is nothing more than to attract Ethereum developers. Accelerate the development of its DeFi ecosystem by enabling EVM-based decentralized applications (dApps) in the TON ecosystem.

High-speed L1 and then another L2?

The launch of TAC certainly follows the L2 trend, such as Coinbase launching Base, OKX and X Layer; however, the non-EVM public chain that boasts a native technical architecture - TON, has launched an EVM-compatible chain in order to attract liquidity. L2, it can be seen that the current native ecology is still eager to find living water.

Why choose Polygon?

Pavel Altukhov, the Russian founder of TAC (he is also the founder of the TON staking protocol bemo), emphasized that the reasons why they chose Polygon were its EVM compatibility, seamless liquidity obtained from the EVM chain through AggLayer, comprehensive deployment support, and Strong community. He noted that these factors were crucial in their decision to build on the Polygon ecosystem.
