TAC Mainnet Launches With Native Token Debut Across Leading Crypto Exchanges

TAC Layer-1 Blockchain Unveils Public Mainnet and Native Token

TAC, a next-generation layer-1 blockchain, has officially announced the launch of its public mainnet, marking a significant advancement in blockchain infrastructure. Alongside this critical milestone, TAC’s native utility token, $TAC, made its debut on prominent cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance Alpha, Bitget, Bybit, and Kraken, further solidifying the project’s position in the wider crypto market.

Major DeFi Integrations and $800 Million TVL at Launch

The public mainnet is now fully operational, with integration support for several of the decentralized finance sector’s top protocols. Morpho, Curve, Bancor, Euler, ZeroLend, IPOR Fusion, and Market.win are now live on TAC’s mainnet, bringing essential DeFi functionalities and liquidity to its ecosystem. In a collaborative effort with liquidity distribution protocol Turtle Club, TAC’s network boasts an impressive total value locked (TVL) exceeding $800 million on launch day, reflecting strong market confidence and immediate utility.

Token Distribution, Liquidity Incentives, and Community Growth

Following the mainnet rollout, TAC is moving forward with its validator grant distribution, launching liquidity incentives on partner decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and releasing community growth proposal initiatives. These steps are designed to encourage robust network participation and further expand the TAC crypto community.

Cosmos-EVM Architecture and Enhanced Blockchain Security

Built on Cosmos-EVM architecture, TAC offers full compatibility with Ethereum’s Cancun hard fork and provides seamless interoperability for Ethereum-based applications. Through direct integration with Babylon, a pioneering Bitcoin staking protocol, TAC strengthens its blockchain security by enhancing consensus validation mechanisms. This multi-faceted architecture offers developers an advanced and flexible environment for decentralized application (dApp) deployment.

Key Functions and Use Cases of the $TAC Token

$TAC is the exclusive gas token for executing transactions on TAC’s EVM-compatible protocol. The token not only facilitates gas fee payments—thanks to a backend mechanism converting TON-denominated fees into TAC—but also secures the network through the delegated proof-of-stake consensus. Validators must bond $TAC to validate transactions and produce blocks, and token holders can stake their coins to earn attractive rewards, earning between 8% and 10% APY.

Beyond staking and transaction fees, the native token empowers on-chain governance. $TAC holders can participate in protocol upgrades, decide incentive distribution, and guide the allocation of the community treasury, all helping shape TAC’s future development.

Advancing Telegram’s Blockchain Ambitions

Pavel Altukhov, TAC’s co-founder, described the mainnet and token launch as a transformative step for both the TON (Toncoin) network and Telegram’s blockchain integration ambitions. According to Altukhov, "TAC equips the TON ecosystem with a turnkey DeFi layer that is secure and operational from day one." With this mainnet launch, developers can seamlessly incorporate blockchain use cases into Telegram-based products, unlocking new opportunities for more than one billion users across the ecosystem.

Strategic Funding and Future Prospects

TAC’s public mainnet launch follows the closing of a successful $11.5 million seed and strategic funding round, led by Hack VC on June 18. This capital infusion will further accelerate platform development and ecosystem growth.

By bridging EVM smart contract capabilities to the extensive Telegram and TON user base, TAC is firmly positioning itself as a crucial gateway for DeFi innovation, mainstream adoption, and the broader blockchain economy.
