- TAC’s Summoning liquidity campaign attracts over $700M TVL from funds, market makers, and infrastructure partners ahead of launch.
- Telegram Mini Apps Curve, Morpho, Euler offer native DeFi direct access in chat, linking finance tools to messaging.
TAC has secured $11.5 million in funding, including a newly closed $5 million strategic round led by Hack VC. This injection follows an earlier seed round and reflects growing institutional belief in TAC’s goal: to bring blockchain tools directly into Telegram’s interface.
At Hack VC, “we invest in teams building the future of the internet” said Ed Roman, Managing Partner. He added that TAC’s team combines deep infrastructure know‑how with proven growth experience. Hack VC’s lead role underlines confidence in TAC’s plan to connect Ethereum dApps with Telegram and the TON network.
Meanwhile, TAC moves closer to its public launch. The project has begun a phased rollout on DevMainnet. Already, top decentralized finance protocols—Curve, Morpho and Euler—have deployed test versions. More than 20 applications stand ready to integrate once Mainnet goes live. Consequently, TAC aims to open with strong liquidity, working finance tools and real user access inside Telegram.
“We want Ethereum developers to reach Telegram’s billion‑user base,” said Pavel Altukhov, Co‑Founder and CEO of TAC. “This round lets us speed up dApp integration and build out the next generation of apps on TON.”
Ahead of Mainnet, TAC’s liquidity campaign—The Summoning—has drawn hundreds of millions in support. Leading funds, market makers and infrastructure teams have locked over \$700 million in value. That backing will power core finance features from day one, ensuring genuine market activity and yield opportunities.
“Deploying Curve on Telegram and TON lets us reach users new to decentralized finance,” said Michael Egorov, Founder of Curve. “TAC’s approach brings proven finance applications to a broader audience.”
In practice, Curve, Morpho and Euler have created Telegram Mini Apps so that their services run natively within the chat platform. At the same time, popular consumer bots are adding backend finance features to offer simple savings and trading tools. Ultimately, TAC bets that this blend of chat, finance and real‑time apps will drive wide user uptake.
As TAC prepares for its full Mainnet release, the project offers a vision: seamless access to decentralized finance in the place where millions already connect.
