TAC, a Layer 1 that powers a novel TON adapter, announces TAC Takeover event in collaboration with Agglayer — a neutral, cross-chain settlement layer that unifies liquidity, users, and state of aggregated chains. Following the success of TAC and Chill Denver, TAC Takeover: Sunset Swings will continue the tradition of hosting high-value and immersive experiences for teams and investors across ecosystems. With support from sponsors Agglayer, The Open Platform (TOP), Boinkers, ZeroLend, and Tomo, the event blends the boundaries between networking and entertainment.
Scheduled for Friday, April 30 at 6PM, TAC Takeover will take the guests to 30 fun-filled golf bays on Level 03 of Topgolf Dubai. Just 12 minutes away from TOKEN2049, TAC Takeover: Sunset Swings is a perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, have a drink while enjoying the sunset, and connect with the industry’s top market participants in EVM and TON space.
TAC helps Ethereum dApps to be deployed on TON and instantly access Telegram’s 1B+ users worldwide. TAC achieves the EVM equivalence through running a full-fledged EVM Layer 1 based on CosmosSDK + Ethermint, secured by dPoS and Babylon Bitcoin Staking.
TAC brings Ethereum bluechip dApps and liquidity to TON, combining a smooth user experience and shared liquidity to make it easier for dApps to work across platforms. All solidity-based apps can be redeployed to the TON network with no changes to the code or re-audit. Any dApp can become a Telegram Mini App and drastically expand its outreach, all thanks to TAC’s technology.
“TAC Takeover captures the spirit of excitement and collaboration as we bring bluechip EVM dApps to the hands of 1 billion Telegram users,” says Pavel Altukhov, Co-founder of TAC. “We’re excited to have leading projects from both EVM and TON ecosystems at a world-class venue that perfectly reflects the energy of our community.”
After successfully launching its public testnet on February 5 and promoting the project’s community launch in Q1 2025, TAC’s roadmap to broader adoption has been quickly gaining traction. In less than one week, The Summoning, a liquidity bootstrapping campaign by TAC and Turtle Club, has organically surpassed $107 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) and reached the milestone of $150 million in just 16 days. Fueling the TON blockchain’s first large-scale EVM-compatible DeFi ecosystem, The Summoning brings the TAC community closer to the mainnet public launch, currently scheduled for mid-May.
