TAC (Telegram Asset Chain) is an EVM Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for Telegram users. Its primary goal is to integrate established DeFi applications from chains like Ethereum directly into Telegram Mini Apps, making DeFi more accessible to a wider range of Telegram users.

The TAC Airdrop plays a vital role in jumpstarting the ecosystem. Through the “Summoning” event, early supporters receive $TAC tokens, incentivizing both community growth and initial capital inflows.

Recap: Two Phases of the TAC Airdrop

• Phase I (April 1 – June 5): Distributed 3.3% of total tokens. More than 4,000 addresses participated, with $790 million in assets deposited. All rewards were unlocked on June 30 and became fully claimable.
• Phase II (June 6 – July 16): Distributed 1.5% of tokens, offering additional rewards for ongoing stakers. Rewards vest linearly over 45 days and are claimable daily until the end of August.

1. Connect your EVM-compatible wallet (such as MetaMask or Rabby) that participated in the Summoning event.
2. Review your total rewards and any claimable balance.
3. Click “Claim” to receive your $TAC (on the TAC Chain).
4. The team has airdropped 0.1 $TAC to cover gas fees, eliminating the need for users to pay transaction costs.

After claiming, you can bridge your tokens to TON or participate directly in liquidity mining and staking opportunities on the TAC Chain.

• Stake via Telegram wallet: Earn 8% APY, which is suitable for users seeking lower risk.
• Stake in the TAC Chain gForce Vault: Lock up funds for 3 months to earn 20% APY.
• Engage with ecosystem DApps. Curve, Carbon, and EulerSwap are live and offer LP rewards and additional protocol incentives.

Summary: Why Is TAC Worth Your Attention?

TAC is more than just another airdrop project; by combining the strengths of Telegram and EVM, TAC delivers practical, profitable DeFi infrastructure. Currently, users can claim their airdrop and earn real yield through active participation, positioning themselves for early gains ahead of the expected explosive growth in the TON and Telegram DeFi ecosystem.
