• TON Blockchain will release a new Layer-2 called the TON Applications Chain (TAC) based on Polygon’s technology
• The TAC will utilize Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK) and AggLayer
• The new protocol aims to make TON more scalable and efficient
The TON blockchain is developing a new layer-2 protocol called the TON Applications Chain (TAC) that makes use of Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK) and AggLayer. This will help expand the capabilities of the TON blockchain.
Background on TON Blockchain
The TON blockchain was originally conceived by the founders of Telegram but was later abandoned. However, the TON community revived the project as Free TON. The TON blockchain aims to be fast, scalable, and developer-friendly.
Key Details on New TON Layer-2
The TON Applications Chain (TAC) will be a layer-2 solution built on top of TON blockchain. It utilizes Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK) which provides modular components for building Ethereum-compatible chains. TAC will also leverage Polygon’s Aggregation Layer (AggLayer) which aggregates transactions off-chain for increased throughput.
Benefits of Integrating Polygon Technology
Using Polygon’s technology provides several advantages for TAC:
- The CDK allows TAC to be Ethereum-compatible, making it easier to integrate existing developer tools and applications.
- AggLayer enables transaction aggregation to improve scalability and reduce costs.
- Polygon’s plasma framework powers fast and low-cost transactions while leveraging the security of the TON blockchain.
By building on proven Polygon infrastructure, TAC can accelerate development and adoption.
Conclusion
The TON community continues to enhance the TON blockchain capabilities through layer-2 solutions. By integrating Polygon’s CDK and AggLayer technology, the new TON Applications Chain aims to provide an Ethereum-compatible environment for expanding the development and usage of TON blockchain applications.
