P2P.org Becomes Genesis Validator for TAC Network: Bringing Ethereum DeFi to TON and Telegram's Billion Users

John Murray -

TL;DR

Genesis Validator Status: P2P.org selected as founding infrastructure provider for TAC Network's cross-chain bridge between Ethereum and Telegram

7-Day Deployment: Full cross-chain infrastructure deployed in under a week using our standardized processes from 40+ network implementations

Proven TON Expertise: Building on our success reducing TON staking minimums from 300,000 to 10 TON through our Whales infrastructure

Institutional Infrastructure: 99.99% historical uptime and zero slashing incidents across $10+ billion in secured assets

Market Traction: Supporting a network that's already attracted $700M+ in committed TVL from Curve, Morpho, Euler, and 20+ additional protocols

The Infrastructure That Makes Cross-Chain DeFi Possible

TAC Network solves a problem that's been holding back mainstream crypto adoption: the complexity barrier between sophisticated DeFi protocols and everyday users. Ethereum developers have built incredible financial infrastructure, but accessing it requires technical knowledge that excludes millions of potential users.

TAC's breakthrough allows Ethereum applications to run natively within Telegram Mini Apps without requiring any code modifications. Users interact with proven DeFi protocols through familiar Telegram interfaces, while developers reach Telegram's massive user base without rebuilding their applications.

Our role involves validating transactions across both ecosystems, maintaining network security, and ensuring consistent performance for applications operating in this cross-chain environment.

Our Approach to TAC Validation

We deployed TAC infrastructure in under seven days, consistent with our deployment timeline across other networks. This efficiency comes from standardized processes we have refined across 40+ implementations, allowing us to maintain strict security while meeting aggressive timelines.

Our infrastructure monitors both EVM execution and TON integration points simultaneously. We structured our operations to handle Ethereum’s transaction patterns alongside TON’s faster finality expectations, ensuring that applications experience consistent performance across both ecosystems.

Building on Proven TON Success

Our work with TON Whales provided valuable insights that apply directly to TAC validation. We reduced TON’s staking barriers by a factor of 30,000, making participation accessible to regular users rather than just large holders.

Key takeaways from this project included:

  • Scaling Infrastructure: Successfully managing everything from individual 10 TON stakes to institutional positions worth millions
  • Integration Speed: Enabling platforms to onboard in under a week through streamlined processes
  • Security Standards: Maintaining institutional-grade security while dramatically increasing accessibility
  • Cross-Ecosystem Operations: Operating seamlessly across different blockchain architectures and user expectations

This foundation means our existing TON infrastructure clients can now access cross-chain DeFi capabilities through the same trusted validator relationship — no new vendor management, no operational complexity.

Why Genesis Validators Matter for Cross-Chain Success

Cross-chain infrastructure requires validators who understand both ecosystems intimately. TAC operations demand simultaneous expertise in Ethereum's transaction patterns and TON's faster finality expectations, ensuring applications perform consistently across both environments.

Our infrastructure specifications reflect lessons from operating across multiple networks:

  • Multi-Geographic Deployment: Nodes in multiple locations ensuring consistent global performance
  • Automatic Failover: Redundant systems preventing service interruptions without manual intervention
  • Multi-Signature Security: Hardware security modules with comprehensive operational protocols
  • Continuous Monitoring: 24/7 operations teams with specialized expertise for each ecosystem

These are operational standards we apply across every network we support. P2P.org brings over five years of validator operations to the TAC network, with infrastructure that's already been battle-tested at institutional scale across dozens of blockchain ecosystems.

The Market Signal: $700M+ Committed Before Public Launch

The early traction validates our strategic approach. The same type of institutional participation we see in our TON staking is already evident in TAC:

  • Blue-chip DeFi protocols like Curve Finance and Morpho deploying on DevMainnet
  • Over $700M in TVL committed before public launch
  • 20+ leading applications preparing for mainnet integration
  • Consumer Telegram Mini Apps beginning to integrate DeFi functionality

This early traction reflects clear market demand. Developers want to reach Telegram’s vast user base without rebuilding their applications, and users want to access DeFi services through familiar interfaces. TAC provides the infrastructure making this possible, and validators like P2P.org ensure it operates securely and reliably.

What This Means for Platforms and Institutions

For platforms and exchanges, working with P2P.org means accessing both TON and cross-chain operations through a single validator relationship. This simplifies vendor management and reduces operational complexity.

For developers, our infrastructure reliability and support provide confidence. We offer documentation, direct engineering assistance, and uptime commitments backed by service-level agreements.

For institutional clients, compliance and operational maturity are key. Our approach includes:

  • Regular third-party audits.
  • Comprehensive insurance coverage.
  • Detailed operational reporting.

Strategic Positioning: Leading the Cross-Chain Infrastructure Category

Our participation as a Genesis Validator positions P2P.org at the forefront of cross-chain infrastructure — a category that's becoming critical as blockchain ecosystems become increasingly interconnected.

TAC represents the practical approach to this interconnection: enabling existing applications to reach new users without major technical changes. Our infrastructure supports this vision by ensuring operations meet the reliability standards expected in both Ethereum and TON ecosystems.

This positioning creates advantages across our entire network portfolio:

  • Cross-Chain Expertise: Knowledge from TAC operations improves our capabilities across all supported networks
  • Institutional Appeal: Proven cross-chain infrastructure attracts clients with multi-network requirements
  • Market Leadership: Establishing P2P.org as the infrastructure standard for complex blockchain integrations
  • Partnership Leverage: Our TAC relationship opens opportunities with protocols considering cross-chain expansion

The result: when protocols or institutions need infrastructure that spans multiple ecosystems, P2P.org becomes the obvious choice.

Continuous Development and Ecosystem Support

Our commitment to TAC extends far beyond initial deployment. We continuously optimize infrastructure based on real network performance data, plan capacity upgrades for user growth, and implement ongoing security updates to maintain our zero-incident track record.

We also participate actively in TAC governance, contributing insights from our multi-network experience to ensure sustainable ecosystem development. Our goal is supporting long-term network health, not just short-term operational requirements.

For the broader community, we provide:

  • Technical Documentation: Comprehensive guides for developers building cross-chain applications
  • Integration Support: Direct assistance for protocols considering TAC deployment
  • Performance Insights: Regular reporting on network health and optimization opportunities
  • Educational Content: Resources helping developers understand cross-chain best practices

Ecosystem growth drives long-term success for all participants — and we're committed to supporting that growth with the same intensity we bring to infrastructure operations.
