🌉 TAC Raises 11.5M to Bridge Ethereum DeFi and Telegram's 1B+ Users

Backed by Hack VC, TAC is building the missing link between Ethereum and TON — bringing DeFi to your Telegram chats.

TAC (Telegram Access Chain) just secured 11.5M in funding to unlock a bold vision: bring Ethereum dApps directly into Telegram. With support from Hack VC and top-tier Web3 builders, TAC is laying the infrastructure to turn Telegram’s 1B+ users into DeFi power users — no MetaMask, no browser extensions, no friction.

🔗 What Is TAC and Why It Matters

TAC isn’t a Layer 1 clone — it’s an EVM-compatible chain designed specifically for Telegram Mini Apps. While TON is Telegram’s native chain, it doesn’t support Ethereum smart contracts. TAC fills that gap:

• ⚙️ Built on Cosmos EVM (evmOS)
• 🧱 Uses delegated Proof-of-Stake + Babylon Bitcoin staking
• 🌐 Powers Ethereum dApps inside Telegram via a custom TON Adapter

In plain English: build once, reach both Ethereum and TON users.
