Bluechip DeFi is Coming to TON Powered by Morpho and TAC, Unlocking Onchain Yields for Over A Billion Telegram Users
**Morpho Brings Bluechip Ethereum DeFi to TON via Telegram MiniApp in Collaboration with TAC**
Morpho, one of Ethereum’s leading permissionless decentralized lending platforms, is expanding its reach by launching a Telegram MiniApp (TMA) in collaboration with TAC—a Layer 1 blockchain that enables Ethereum-based dApps to seamlessly access Telegram’s massive user base of over 1 billion. This strategic move introduces top-tier Ethereum-native DeFi functionality to the TON blockchain ecosystem through a user-friendly interface embedded directly within Telegram.
As the second-largest lending protocol on Ethereum, Morpho is following a broader trend among DeFi projects—like Curve Finance, now live on TON testnet—seeking to tap into new user bases beyond traditional crypto communities. Morpho's Telegram MiniApp is designed to make DeFi more accessible, offering streamlined one-tap features to **earn, borrow, repay, and withdraw**, all from within the familiar Telegram environment.
The MiniApp is fully integrated with **TON Connect** and **Telegram Wallet**, delivering real-time dashboards that display APYs, collateral positions, and more. By embedding these services within Telegram, Morpho significantly reduces the friction and complexity often associated with decentralized finance, opening doors for millions of new users.
Technically, the Morpho Telegram MiniApp functions as a **Hybrid dApp**, maintaining its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) codebase while being natively accessible through Telegram’s MiniApp framework. This innovative design allows Morpho to retain compatibility with Ethereum while leveraging the growing TON ecosystem for distribution.
The initial deployment of the MiniApp will take place on the **TON testnet**, with smart contracts launching on **TAC**, followed by a migration to the **TON Mainnet**. This phased rollout ensures robust testing and seamless integration across platforms.
With Telegram recently surpassing the 1 billion user milestone and TON experiencing strong developer momentum, the launch of the Morpho MiniApp represents a significant step in expanding DeFi's footprint to mainstream audiences—bringing sophisticated, permissionless finance directly to where the users already are.
