Most people using crypto today still move between separate chains, wallets and applications to send a payment, swap an asset, trade a perp or hold a tokenised real-world asset. Every step adds fees, bridges, seed phrases and another point where an ordinary user gives up.
TeQoin is building a consumer-focused EVM Layer-2 that puts those functions in one place. The network uses optimistic rollup architecture designed for near-zero fees and fast confirmations, and it reaches users through a native Telegram wallet rather than a browser extension, so someone new to crypto can start inside an app they already have.
Highlights
- Public testnet live since April 2026, with over 100 million transactions recorded on the project's own block explorer.
- The project reports 320,000 total wallet users, over 272,000 monthly users and over 100,000 daily active users on the native Telegram wallet.
- DIA operates the network's oracle layer, live on testnet, giving lending, derivatives and RWA builders price feeds from day one.
- Fixed supply of 100,000,000 $TEQOIN, already verifiable onchain at the Ethereum token contract.
- The public round is 1% of total supply, with 7% allocated to the team and 9% across the seed and private rounds.30K+ followers on a verified X account, 75K+ Telegram channel members, 42K in the community chat and 2.5K+ - GitHub followers.
- The engineering roadmap, audit scope and production-readiness checklist are published openly in the project's repository.
The Layer-2
TeQoin L2 is an Ethereum-aligned, EVM-compatible optimistic rollup designed for L1 settlement with blob data availability. Chain ID 420377, five-second blocks and a public testnet explorer are live today, alongside RPC and WebSocket endpoints, an indexer API, and contract deployment guides.
The Telegram Wallet
The native wallet runs inside Telegram, which removes extension installs and app-store friction. It is the project's main consumer entry point and the source of the user numbers TeQoin reports, and it is designed to connect payments, swaps and ecosystem applications in a single interface.
What Comes Next
The wallet and testnet are live. The project's published roadmap moves next to mainnet and the bridge, then cross-chain transfers and swap, then DeFi expansion and trading, and finally RWA infrastructure. Each stage is where the token's designed utility is intended to come into use.
Why It Stands Out
✅ Distribution before the token event. Most new Layer-2s launch and then look for users. TeQoin reports an existing wallet user base, and its testnet has recorded over 100 million transactions, before its token generation event.
✅ A consumer entry point, not a developer one. Telegram distribution changes who can realistically be onboarded, targeting ordinary users making everyday transfers rather than starting with DeFi power users.
✅ Engineering in the open. The oracle integration was published by DIA itself, and TeQoin's own repository publishes its architecture, audit scope and production-readiness checklist rather than only a marketing deck.
The AlphaMind Round
The AlphaMind strategic round offers $TEQOIN at $0.20, a $20M FDV, against the project's planned $0.50 listing price and $50M listing FDV. Participants receive 25% at TGE with no cliff, and the remaining 75% released linearly over six months. The project's earlier Poolz round was priced identically but released only 10% at TGE with 12 months of vesting, so this round doubles the unlock and halves the lock-up at the same entry price. TGE is currently expected in early Q4 2026.
