According to CoinDesk, the development team behind The Open Network (TON) blockchain announced at the EthCC Ethereum community conference in Brussels, Belgium on Tuesday that they will be launching a new Layer 2 network based on Polygon technology.
The network, known as TON Applications Chain (TAC), is being built using Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK). Polygon CDK is a customizable toolkit that allows developers to create their own Layer 2 networks based on Polygon’s zero-knowledge proof technology, as well as the AggLayer interoperability layer that Polygon uses to address blockchain fragmentation issues.
In a press release, the TON team stated, “TAC aims to enable EVM-based decentralized applications to access the TON ecosystem, while also allowing Ethereum developers to build new programs for Telegram users. TAC will significantly enhance the liquidity of the TON ecosystem and accelerate the adoption of DeFi. In addition to DeFi, TAC will also pave the way for a wide range of innovative applications on the TON blockchain, such as games and decentralized identity solutions.”
