Talus Network: one of the rare AI projects showing results before the TGE

In a market filled with AI tokens created just to ride the trend, Talus Network stands out. Even before its TGE, Bitget confirmed the listing — and the numbers are hard to ignore: more than $10M raised, with $6M led by Polychain Capital. You don’t often see this level of backing for a project still pre-token.

Talus presents itself as an agentic infrastructure a blockchain designed for autonomous AI agents, built with Sui Move and aligned with the Cosmos/IBC ecosystem. What really caught my attention, though, is the testnet traction: 35,000 users, 72,000 tasks completed, and 54,000 AI responses generated. All through Nexus and Idol.fun, a platform where AI agents compete as virtual “idols.”

Bitget is now listing $US, and many community members are hoping for a Candybomb event to accompany the launch. In a cycle where AI attracts massive attention, Talus seems to be one of the few projects with more fundamentals than hype. Worth keeping an eye on. DYOR.
