We're happy to share that cross-chain transactions between TON and TAC are now available again. The patched sequencer software has been independently reviewed by our auditor and TON ecosystem partners and we can resume operations with complete confidence. TAC CCL is now safer than ever. All missing funds in USDT, BLUM, and tsTON have been restored. Users can use TAC-powered products (DeFi Wallet vaults, Acid ID staking feature, and others) as before. Affected users expecting transactions on TON in BLUM or USDT will receive their funds automatically - no action is required from their side. ❗️Important Notice: As part of the relaunch, a necessary step resulted in some users receiving more tokens than expected. More details to follow in a post later today. Thank you for your support, patience and trust.

yet another SCAM letter to my house after the @Ledger userbase data breach. this is the 4th one I receive, and every time I get chills 🥶 funniest thing? this one probably got stuck at the post office for ~10 months (see the sept ‘25 deadline) and just got to my house now!

most important party of the year

Resilience. This was a very intense week for the team, but this is not the end, many things still to be done. Commitment. Impressed by the solidarity of the @ton_blockchain ecosystem. Yeah, TON Foundation nowhere to be found, but (as ever), ecosystems are made by teams, and most of them, including those not directly involved with TAC, showed up offering support. TON United. Detailed post mortem soon.

We're happy to announce that ~90% of the funds from the May 12th security incident have been recovered. The attacker decided to return the funds that were sitting across Ethereum, TON, TAC, BSC and Zcash, and retained the 10% as a bounty. We are happy to confirm that the unbalance on the cross-chain layer will be completely fixed. A detailed update and full post-mortem will follow in the coming days. Big thanks to @SEAL_911, our security partners, the @ton_blockchain community and to every partner team that stood with us.

This is an official representative of Ton Foundation... Once again, no words about native DeFi on TON, no words about @TacBuild or all the bluechip protcols we brought from the evm world like Morpho, Euler, Curve, Carbon, Pendle or native Ve3.3 Dexes like Snap. Directly available to telegram users via every Ton Wallets. I hope Pavel will stop asap this stupid attitude of TF vocal people that just push friends and friends of friends and that made 90% of ton developers to leave this ecosystem and almost die... and maybe improve a bit the focus on long term use cases like DeFi and Payments rather than just following the next trend without accruing any long term ecosystem value in between.

the X algorithm must be GDPR-compliant @eurofounder

This is one of the only sustainable flywheels being tried in crypto >user deposits 50 USDT into a vault to get perks in the game >user can take it out anytime >devs earn yield via the safest protocols (4%) >1m players deposit 50 USDT >devs earning 4% on that

Today we’re putting one of TAC’s core theses into a live test mode. The idea: Telegram Mini Apps can generate revenue without users spending directly - through user-owned deposits routed into infrastructure-level DeFi strategies. Users connect a TON wallet, deposit, and unlock real in-game utility. Over the classical pay2win and pay2play, this is 'free' subscriptions, or stake2win. Funds stay user-owned and withdrawable. Yield powers app-side revenue under the hood, with @LucidlyFI as the yield infrastructure partner. A new monetization rail for Mini Apps. More onchain activity on @ton_blockchain. Real utility for users without direct spend. Retails (millions) come for the game, the channel, whatever. DeFi yield pay the developers bills. Win win for all. Huge thanks to Acid Labs, the top grossing Telegram Miniapp, for being the first to run this experiment with us, and to @LucidlyFI for powering the yield layer.

yes, David, yes ...

We’ve been building with Acid Labs - creators of one of the top-grossing Telegram Mini App - @BoinkersIO and @LucidlyFi on something that has never existed in Telegram and @ton_blockchain in this form before. This can unlock huge potential for how Mini App developers engage and monetize. A big TAC announcement is coming soon.

@RealAcidLabs is introducing a completely new kind of experience to Telegram 💬, powered by @LucidlyFI, enabled by @TacBuild - built to run right on @ton_blockchain with any TON Wallet 👛 Not just gameplay 🎮 and rewards Your assets will be turned into an active gaming companion 🤖 Seamless. Native. Effortless. ✨ Infra, DeFi, and gaming truly merge inside Telegram & TON ecosystem 🌐 Stay tuned. #Telegram #TON #TONBlockchain #Web3 #DeFi #Innovation #Tech #CryptoEcosystem

this one is brutally true

Personal story about the rsETH hack. DevCon Bangkok, 2025. while waiting for the famous session by Justin Drake i met Jeff from @axelar and we started chatting about my past experience on Linea. Always fan of their approach, the way axelar was managing the Linea nodes for validation and the pressure they were putting on the team to implement the 'finality flag' was impressive to me. Our tech team was like 'it's super difficult to implement this properly without trusting the sequencer, and we have other priorities on the prover and the constraints', but they were there pinging us every week almost. Many colleagues were like 'this is overengineered'. It was not. We started chatting about this, i share my compliments to the team because of their security first approach but we started talking about the differences between zk rollups and optimistic rollups. my point was that zk were superior because of fast finality (24hours at that time) vs optimistic and he kept pushing me on the fact that this was not true. @DeclanFox14 joined us on the chat and both of us were not able to convince him about the opposite. His arguments were super on point: if you have a reorg or a forged tx, we (axelar node operators) catch it because we run multiple L2 nodes, so we don't need to wait for the finality on the L1, we just look at the quorum of our own nodes and op stack can't reorg by nature. The paradox was that, in their eyes, the security model of optimistic rollup was exactly the same of zk rollups if not better (as not having the finality tag, bridge operations were delayed by 24/32 hrs or fully trusting the sequencer). both me and Declan were like 'hmmm we can only agree to disagree here'. Then the room's door opened and our short debate ended. looking at that convo now, this hack is a proof that me and Declan were totally right. thack would not have been possible if the DVN had waited for L1 finality, which is not viable for optimistic rollup because of the 7days challenge period. Today the landscape is evolved a lot: zkVMs, fast and cheap provers, mega blobs. You could have zk L2s finalizing every hour on L1s without issues, economically viable. There is no excuse to keep treating the same way optimistic rollup and zk rollup. This hack demonstrated that finality is still king. I think everyone should include finality in their risk assessments (with direct monetary consequences for TVL and yields) and optimistic rollups should become zk rollups or pay a big tax in term of UX (or TVL/yield). Of course, nobody is talking about this as there is no real incentive for L2 operators. Also, this will not fix the main crypto issue: there are no users anymore.

as far as I know, from the time in the company, this guy was not the lead at Metamask Portfolio. but definitely, this was a huge issue among people working in Metamask: not being obsessed with the product they were building led to the current Rabby dominancy

the chads have cooked on a sunday

I would like to make a proposal. The hackers are currently sitting on Ethereum and Arbitrum. They will use a number of "DeFi" things that have a number of single-points-of-failure. Identify those single points of failure RIGHT NOW. Use them to intercept these funds and rug DPRK and get this fucking money back. Literally EVERY. SINGLE. THING. they use has single points of failure. I guarantee it. 100% confidence. If you think otherwise you are in denial, stupid, need to get more creative, need to red team harder. I don't want to hear your fucking excuses. Teams should do this right now. And then they should fully eliminate those single points so that they can't be used to steal money from anyone ever again. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

game over. we can go home now... job is done.
