# Tezos Development Engagement

## Overview

This folder documents Softstack’s development engagement for **Tezos** around **t:connect**, a Telegram Mini App SDK.

This is not presented here as a smart contract audit. The public case study describes the work as a **TMA Software Development Kit** engagement focused on integrating Tezos and Etherlink functionality into Telegram mini apps.

## About Tezos

**Tezos** is a decentralized blockchain platform known for its focus on security, governance, and protocol evolution.

The public case study also describes **Etherlink** as an EVM-compatible sidechain of Tezos that enables Ethereum-style functionality within the broader Tezos ecosystem.

## Why This Engagement Matters

This engagement is a strong public reference because it connects:
- Tezos ecosystem infrastructure
- Etherlink integration
- Telegram mini apps
- Web3 usability and wallet connectivity
- mainstream distribution through messaging platforms

The case study explicitly notes Telegram’s large user base and positions the SDK as a way to bring blockchain functionality into a widely used consumer platform.

## Engagement Scope

According to Softstack’s public case study, the client is **Tezos**, the project is **t:connect**, and the service is a **Telegram Mini App Software Development Kit**.

The case study says the SDK enables Telegram mini apps to integrate Tezos and Etherlink functionality, including blockchain transactions, wallet interactions, and smart contract interactions.

The case study also states that Softstack is running its own **baker node** on Tezos, which it describes as part of its active contribution to the Tezos ecosystem.


## Summary

This folder highlights Softstack’s public development work for **Tezos** through the **t:connect** Telegram Mini App SDK engagement.

It is a strong reference for Softstack’s involvement in **Tezos ecosystem development**, **Etherlink integration**, and **Web3 infrastructure designed for mainstream messaging platforms**.
