TAC raises $11.5 million to bring DeFi to Telegram's billion-user ecosystem
TAC is creating new opportunities for users and driving the adoption of DeFi by bringing Ethereum dApps to Telegram and TON.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
TAC (Telegram Access Chain) is a purpose-built blockchain designed for EVM dApps aiming to integrate with the TON and Telegram ecosystems. Recently, TAC raised a total of $11.5 million in seed and strategic funding rounds, including a newly closed $5 million strategic round led by Hack VC, further reinforcing market confidence in TAC's mission to enhance blockchain capabilities within Telegram—the most user-rich environment in crypto.
Ed Roman, Managing Partner at Hack VC, said: "At Hack VC, we back teams building the future of the internet. TAC is an exceptional team with deep expertise in infrastructure and growth, backed by years of experience. Leading this strategic round reflects our belief in TAC’s ability to bring Ethereum dApps to a global audience through Telegram and TON."
Mainnet Launch
TAC is approaching its mainnet launch and is currently rolling out in stages. During the current DevMainnet phase, prominent DeFi protocols such as Curve, Morpho, and Euler have already begun deploying, with over 20 leading applications preparing for mainnet integration. This early adoption ensures that upon public launch, the TAC ecosystem will feature deep liquidity, battle-tested DeFi primitives, and immediate utility for users within Telegram.
TAC's Mission
Pavel Altukhov, Co-Founder and CEO of TAC, said: "TAC is committed to equipping EVM developers with the tools and pathways to deploy their applications into Telegram’s billion-user ecosystem. This strategic funding accelerates our mission of bringing Ethereum applications to everyday users and lays the foundation for the next wave of TON-native consumer apps."
Pre-Mainnet Liquidity Bootstrapping Initiative
TAC’s pre-mainnet liquidity bootstrapping initiative, The Summoning, has attracted significant attention from top-tier funds, liquidity providers, and infrastructure players across the industry. Ahead of the public mainnet launch, over $700 million in total value locked (TVL) has already been secured—an institutional-grade level of support reflecting strong market confidence in TAC as the DeFi layer for TON. Critically, this liquidity will power core DeFi applications from day one, enabling real yields and functional markets at launch.
By bringing Ethereum dApps into Telegram and TON, TAC is creating new opportunities for users and driving broader DeFi adoption. With mainnet launch imminent, TAC’s ecosystem will offer users a rich suite of financial tools and services, accelerating mainstream crypto adoption.
