A group of developers affiliated with Telegram's Open Network (TON) plans to connect to Ethereum with a Polygon-backed solution. 🚀 The team led by Pavel Altukhov introduced the TON Applications Chain (TAC) at the Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) in Brussels. The new L2 will allow EVM-based decentralized applications (dapps) to connect with TON. However, it was stated that the TON Foundation is not behind TAC. This news reflects the growing interest in layer-2 networks being built to scale Ethereum. TON and Telegram have been setting the crypto agenda in recent months by allowing the creation of dapps directly on the platform and providing access to a global user base of 900 million.
