TAC Raises $11.5 M to Bring DeFi to Telegram’s Billion-User Ecosystem

June 18th, 2025– New York, U.S.A. TAC, a purpose-built blockchain for EVM dApps to gain access to Lot and Telegram ecosystem, has raised a total of $11.5 million throughout its seed and tactical rounds. The newly closed $5 million strategic round, led by Hack VC, strengthens institutional belief in TAC’s mission to enhance blockchain performance inside Telegram, the most user-rich environment in crypto.

“TAC is committed to providing EVM designers the tools and reach to release their applications into Telegram’s billion-user environment,” stated Pavel Altukhov, Co-Founder and CEO of TAC. Crucially, this liquidity will power core DeFi applications from day one, making it possible for real yield and market performance at launch.”

“Going live on Telegram and Heap by means of TAC can permit Curve to reach the brand-new audience who aren’t yet on DeFi,” stated Michael Egorov, Creator of Curve. TAC sees this convergence within the superapp Telegram as the path to mass adoption.
