TAC Raises $11.5M to Bring DeFi to Telegram's Billion-User Ecosystem
New York, USA, June 18th, 2025, Chainwire TAC, a purpose-built blockchain for EVM dApps to access TON and Telegram ecosystem, has raised a total of $11.5 million across its seed and strategic rounds. The newly closed $5 million strategic round, led by Hack VC, reinforces institutional belief in TAC's mission to enhance blockchain functionality inside Telegram, the most user-rich environment in crypto. 'At Hack VC, we invest in teams building the future of the internet,' said Ed Roman, Managing Partner at Hack VC. 'TAC is an exceptional team with a deep understanding of infrastructure and growth backed by years of experience building in the space. Leading this strategic round reflects our conviction in TAC's ability to shape how Ethereum dApps reach global users through Telegram and TON.' TAC is nearing its mainnet launch, now underway in a phased rollout. In the current DevMainnet phase, blue-chip DeFi protocols like Curve, Morpho, and Euler are already deploying, with over 20 leading applications preparing for Mainnet integration. This early traction ensures that once TAC goes live publicly, the ecosystem will launch with deep liquidity, proven DeFi primitives, and immediate user utility inside Telegram. 'TAC is committed to giving EVM developers the tools and reach to deploy their applications into Telegram's billion-user ecosystem,' said Pavel Altukhov, Co-Founder and CEO of TAC. 'This strategic round accelerates our mission to bring Ethereum applications to everyday users and lays the groundwork for the next wave of TON-native consumer apps.' TAC's pre-mainnet liquidity bootstrapping campaign, The Summoning, has drawn significant interest from leading funds, liquidity providers, and infrastructure players across the industry. With over $700M in total value locked (TVL) secured ahead of public Mainnet launch, this institutional-grade backing reflects deep confidence in TAC's role as a DeFi layer for TON. Crucially, this liquidity will power core DeFi applications from day one, enabling real yield and market functionality at launch "Going live on Telegram and TON via TAC can allow Curve to reach the new audience who aren't yet on DeFi,' said Michael Egorov, Founder of Curve. 'TAC chose a great approach of bringing battle-tested EVM applications there. We are happy to be one of the first to deploy and bring Curve to these new users" Curve, Morpho, and Euler have already built dedicated Telegram Mini Apps (TMAs), making their products natively accessible in Telegram. In parallel, popular consumer TMAs are beginning to integrate DeFi functionality on the backend, distributing yield and financial tools to non-crypto users. TAC sees this convergence within the superapp Telegram as the path to mass adoption. About TAC TAC is a purpose-built blockchain for EVM dApps to access TON and Telegram Ecosystem's 1B+ user base. TAC makes it seamless for Ethereum dApps to be deployed on TON. EVM functionality and liquidity brought to the TON ecosystem enable builders to focus on consumer use cases. Contact PR CC Chen TAC
