Tapio traces its origins to early 2021, when it received a Web3 Foundation Open Grant and became the inaugural recipient of an Acala Ecosystem Grant. The protocol was formerly affiliated with Acala, where it originally addressed Polkadot liquidity fragmentation by synthesizing DOT staking and crowdloan derivatives into a unified synthetic asset called tDOT. Since then, Tapio has expanded its scope to serve a broader range of correlated asset pairs on Base.
Tapio raised a $4M seed round announced in October 2022, led by Polychain Capital, Hypersphere Ventures, and Arrington Capital.
