TLink
Below is a suggested addition to the TabiChain documentation, introducing and explaining the TLink component. This section can be placed under a new heading, for example, “TLink Integration”, within the TabiChain docs.
TLink Integration
Overview TLink is a universal integration layer connecting popular social platforms to the Web3 ecosystem, enabling billions of users to seamlessly access crypto and interact with TabiChain. By allowing users to log into TabiChain-based dApps through their existing social accounts (such as TikTok, Snapchat, and Telegram), TLink dramatically simplifies onboarding and reduces friction. Users gain immediate access to a secure crypto wallet, gas fee sponsorships, and maintain full control over their identity and data. For developers, TLink’s integration with PolyVM provides a streamlined pathway to building on other VMs such as the Ton Virtual Machine (TVM) without facing steep learning curves.
Key Benefits for Users
- One-Click Onboarding: Users can create a crypto wallet linked to their social accounts in a single step. No complex key management or setup is required.
- Gas Fee Sponsorship: TLink can sponsor initial transaction fees, encouraging users to explore TabiChain’s ecosystem without worrying about gas costs.
- Privacy & Security: Advanced encryption and decentralized storage ensure users maintain full control of their identity and private information, even while interacting across multiple dApps.
Key Benefits for Developers
- PolyVM Integration: With PolyVM, developers can build on TVM using familiar languages (JavaScript, Java, Go), abstracting away blockchain differences. This universal facade enables quick and easy deployment on TabiChain and beyond.
- Interoperable SDK: TLink’s SDK integrates directly with TabiChain-based projects, providing standardized APIs to interact with user identity, wallets, and assets.
- Faster Adoption: By tapping into billions of social platform users, developers can quickly onboard and retain new users, driving substantial growth and liquidity to their TabiChain dApps.
How TLink Works with TabiChain
- Social Account Linking: When a user visits a TabiChain-enabled dApp integrated with TLink, they can choose to log in using their social account credentials (e.g., Telegram).
- Instant Wallet Creation: Upon login, TLink creates or associates a secure TON-based wallet with the user’s social identity. This wallet resides on TabiChain, granting the user seamless access to TVM-compatible dApps, NFTs, DeFi platforms, and more.
- Gas Sponsorship: Initially, TLink can sponsor gas fees, allowing first-time users to experiment with transfers, staking, or minting NFTs on TabiChain without upfront costs.
- Unified Identity & Assets: As users explore different applications on TabiChain, their unified TLink wallet and identity travel with them. There’s no need to manage multiple seed phrases or re-enter credentials.
- Developer Tools & PolyVM: Developers can leverage PolyVM’s universal APIs to build on TabiChain’s TVM. This means writing code once in familiar languages and easily switching between blockchains by adjusting a config file. TLink provides documentation, SDKs, and code samples to streamline the integration process.
Use Cases
- Social-Driven Games: A Telegram-based Web3 game running on TabiChain can integrate TLink to let users play instantly. Players can earn tokens, collect NFTs, and trade assets without leaving the app.
- DeFi & NFT Marketplaces: Simplify user onboarding by replacing complex wallet setups with one-click TLink login. Combined with PolyVM, developers can quickly roll out cross-chain strategies, lending, or NFT marketplaces.
- Cross-Platform Portability: Users who start on a single TabiChain dApp can seamlessly move to others without re-authentication, ensuring consistent, frictionless experiences.
Developer Integration Steps
- Include TLink SDK: Add the TLink SDK to your dApp’s front-end code.
- Configure Auth & Wallet: Call the TLink API to handle user authentication. Upon successful login, obtain the user’s TON-compatible address from TLink.
- PolyVM & PVM Setup: If needed, set up PolyVM-based protocols by adding the appropriate dialect and chain info in your config file. Use PVM SDKs to interact with fungible or non-fungible asset protocols on TabiChain.
- Test & Deploy: Test your integration on TabiChain’s testnet. Once satisfied, move to mainnet and invite your user base to experience simplified Web3 access.
