Toncoin TON Surges as Pavel Durov Launches Cocoon AI Network on TON Blockchain
Telegram founder Pavel Durov has unveiled Cocoon, a decentralized AI compute network built on the TON blockchain. The platform prioritizes 100% user privacy—a stark contrast to centralized services like Amazon and Microsoft, which often compromise data confidentiality. Cocoon connects GPU providers with developers, allowing the former to earn TON tokens for contributing computational resources.
The network's first major client is Telegram itself, which plans to integrate Cocoon for AI-driven services such as message translation and other in-app features. This MOVE could significantly expand adoption given Telegram's massive user base.
Cocoon operates as a confidential compute marketplace, enabling private model deployment without exposing user data. Its launch underscores the growing demand for decentralized AI infrastructure that combines verifiability with privacy, marking a major catalyst for the TON ecosystem and its native token.
