Cocoon represents a breakthrough in decentralized AI infrastructure, enabling secure and private AI inference through a distributed network where application developers compensate GPU owners with TON cryptocurrency for processing inference requests. Telegram will be the network’s first major customer, using Cocoon for confidential AI queries while investing heavily in promoting the network across its global ecosystem of hundreds of millions of users.
“The launch of Cocoon marks a pivotal moment in the convergence of blockchain technology, data protection and artificial intelligence,” said Brittany Kaiser, Managing Director of AlphaTON Capital. “We recognize the transformative potential of a decentralized, privacy-preserving AI inference network, and we are committed to becoming a critical contributor to this ecosystem. Our investment in enterprise-grade GPU infrastructure will help ensure that Cocoon has the compute capacity to serve Telegram and other major applications from day one.
AlphaTON Capital plans to deploy a fleet of GPUs, including next-generation high-memory models optimized for AI inference workloads, in strategically located data center facilities. The company’s infrastructure will be designed to provide exceptional uptime reliability and processing capacity for the most demanding model architectures, including DeepSeek, Qwen and other leading AI frameworks.
“Privacy and security are paramount in the AI era,” added Enzo Villani, Executive Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of AlphaTON Capital. “Cocoon’s confidential compute architecture addresses a critical market need, and we are excited to provide the robust infrastructure that will help make private AI inference accessible at scale.” As participants in the TON ecosystem and infrastructure providers, we are in a unique position to support the growth of this network.
The Cocoon network is scheduled to launch in November 2025, following the collection of applications from application developers and GPU vendors. AlphaTON Capital’s participation highlights the company’s strategic focus on next-generation TON blockchain and Telegram-based AI applications.
