New York, USA, June 18, 2025, Chainwire, TAC, a purpose-built blockchain for EVM DApps to access TUN 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 HackVC, reinforces institutional belief in TAC's mission to enhance blockchain functionality inside Telegram, the most user-rich environment in crypto.

Greater than, at HackVC, we invest in teams building the future of the internet," said Ed Roman, managing partner at HackVC. TAC is an exceptional team with a deep greater than understanding of infrastructure and growth backed by years of experience greater than building in the space. Leading this strategic round reflects our conviction in greater than TAC's ability to shape how Ethereum DApps reach global users through Telegram greater than a ton. TAC is nearing its mainnet launch, now underway in a phased rollout. In the current Dev Mainnet phase, Bluechip defy protocols like Curve, Morpho, and Eulerare

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 to defy primitives, and immediate user utility inside Telegram. Greater than, TAC is committed to giving EVM developers the tools and reach to deploy their greater-than applications into Telegram's billion-user ecosystem, said Pavel Altikov, greater than co-founder and CEO of TAC. This strategic round accelerates our mission to greater than bring Ethereum applications to everyday users and lays the groundwork for the greater-than-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 $700 million in total value locked, TVL, secure dayhead of public main at launch, this institutional-grade backing reflects deep confidence in TAC's role as a DeFi layer for TUN. Crucially, this liquidity will power core DeFi applications from day one, enabling real yield and market functionality at launch greater than. Going live on Telegram and TUN via TAC can allow Curve to reach the new greater-than audience who aren't yet on DeFi," said Michael Igorov, founder of Curve.

TAC greater than shows a great approach of bringing battle-tested EVM applications there. We greater than 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 TUN and Telegram ecosystems 1B plus user base.
