TAC Monthly On-Chain Data [August 2025]

The onchain data for August tells a clear story of accelerating momentum, demonstrating TAC’s ability to sustain and amplify growth. The metrics for both TAC user adoption and $TAC token reveal a powerful feedback loop of rapid user adoption, deepening engagement, and an increasingly robust technical infrastructure. For developers, liquidity providers, and the wider Telegram ecosystem, August’s numbers are a powerful confirmation of a thriving and compounding economy.

TAC’s success can be attributed to its strategic alignment with the Telegram ecosystem, leveraging its massive user base and MiniApp framework to create a seamless, integrated DeFi experience. This report provides a detailed analysis of the onchain activity, highlighting key metrics and their implications for the network's future.

Transaction Volume: Capital in Motion, Not Just Idle TVL

Cumulative transactions surpassed 425,861 by August 31st, a figure that highlights the network's vibrant and accelerating economic throughput.

The cumulative transaction curve shows a relentless, non-flattening upward slope, confirming that as users become more comfortable with TAC's network of dApps, their engagement deepens, leading to higher-frequency, value-added interactions.

This is not idle capital locked in vaults; this is capital at work. The Total Value Locked (TVL) climbed to $217.9 million by the end of the month. This rapid growth, which saw a major jump in early August, is linked to the Summoning liquidity campaign, which successfully attracted $800 million in TVL at its peak. The TVL reveals that the capital is actively deployed and provides liquidity for a wide range of DeFi dApps powered by TAC.

• Sustained Engagement: The frictionless nature of Telegram-native flows encourages repeat usage. Once inside a MiniApp, users are far more likely to perform multiple transactions, as the experience is fluid and uninterrupted.
• Authentic Economic Throughput: Every transaction on TAC represents genuine value movement. The network ensures that all activity is backed by real assets, eliminating the noise of testnet churn or artificially inflated synthetic volume. This is critical for maintaining market integrity and providing a reliable foundation for developers. A dApp can confidently build on TAC, knowing that the on-chain data represents real user intent and real capital flow.

User Growth: A Deep Dive into Retention and Acquisition

The user base charts for August tell a story of a network transitioning from an explosive launch to a period of stable, sustained growth. The cumulative number of user wallets surged to 3,946 by the end of the month, a clear sign that the initial viral growth has transitioned into a robust, steady incline. While the daily new user count has stabilized after the massive spike in July, this is a healthy post-launch sign. It indicates that the network is now attracting new users organically at a steady pace, rather than relying solely on a single event.

Crucially, the user retention metrics provide the most compelling evidence of genuine product-market fit. The data shows that a significant percentage of the initial user cohorts were retained for at least one week. Furthermore, a substantial number of addresses were active for 3-5 days, with a dedicated cohort consistently engaging for 20+ days. This proves that early adopters are not just experimenting; they are staying and becoming a core part of the ecosystem.

From a developer's perspective, this sustained engagement is a direct validation of two core design principles:

• Zero-Friction Onboarding: The Telegram MiniApp framework continues to remove traditional UX crypto barriers. New users can onboard and transact without ever dealing with complex wallets, seed phrases, or chain switching. This native experience makes DeFi feel effortless and familiar and abstracts away the complexity of blockchain interactions, making it feel like a seamless extension of the app they already use daily.
• Consumer-First Financial Primitives: TAC seamlessly embeds finance within Telegram, a social app which interface is familiar to more than a billion users. This approach makes DeFi an integrated feature and is a key driver of engagement.

Network Readiness: An Institutional-Grade Foundation for Scale

Throughout August, TAC continued to operate with the maturity and robustness of a far more established network. This readiness is the result of meticulous planning and strategic partnerships. Following the initial launch spike, the network has seen a consistent, upward trend in both active addresses and active contracts, indicating a healthy and continuously growing ecosystem of builders and users. This is a testament to the comprehensive and developer-friendly stack that has been put in place.

At the same time, TAC’s infrastructure stack enabled professional-grade building with zero friction for users. Developers can debug, orchestrate omni-chain flows, and access analytics seamlessly, while users transact without switching chains or wallets. This combination of security, validator diversity, and enterprise-ready tooling shows TAC is scaling on a solid foundation. See here for TAC infrastructure partners.

Why August's Data is a Green Light for Builders

For Ethereum-native teams and new builders alike, August’s on-chain data delivers undeniable proof of TAC’s strategic edge:

• Instant Access to Billions of Users: Deploy your existing smart contracts through TAC and tap into Telegram’s massive user base through native MiniApps. Any dApp built for Ethereum can be deployed on TON and the Telegram ecosystem. This removes a significant barrier to entry and allows projects to leverage an entirely new distribution channel without a costly and time-consuming redevelopment process. The opportunity to access a user base of this scale with existing technology is unprecedented in the Web3 space.
• Superior User Stickiness: Embedding DeFi within high-engagement consumer apps results in users transacting more frequently and staying longer, further boosting lifetime value. Unlike traditional DeFi, which often requires a user to navigate a fragmented landscape of websites and wallets, TAC powered hybrid dApps approach creates a unified, familiar, and highly engaging experience. A user who is already on Telegram to chat with friends or play games is much more likely to explore a DeFi product that is seamlessly integrated into their daily routine.‍
• Liquidity Without the Heavy Lifting: The Summoning liquidity campaign solves the classic cold-start problem for new dApps. A developer can launch their dApps through TAC and benefit from a deep pool of pre-existing liquidity, ensuring their dApp is usable from day one.

The Takeaway: The Virtuous Cycle Is Accelerating

August 2025 was a month of compounding growth. User growth and retention metrics showed that TAC powered dApp’s unique ability to attract and keep users is now a proven model. Transaction volumes confirmed a massive increase in capital efficiency and meaningful economic activity. The underlying infrastructure has proven capable of scaling securely and reliably.

Each new user, transaction, and integration exponentially increases TAC’s ecosystem value, creating a powerful network effect. The virtuous cycle is in full motion: as more users join, more liquidity flows in, which in turn attracts more developers to build more dApps. These new dApps attract even more users, and the cycle accelerates. The network’s flywheel is no longer just spinning; it is in full orbit.

For visionary developers, the window for early-mover advantage is wide open. The foundations are solid, the momentum is real, and the opportunity to build the next generation of category-defining consumer-native DeFi experiences on Telegram is here. The data from August is not just a report on the past; it is a clear signal of a vibrant future.
