Pavel Durov’s ‘Cocoon’ Network: Decentralised AI Platform Unveiled at Blockchain Life

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov revealed ‘Cocoon’ (Confidential Compute Open Network) at the Blockchain Life 2025 conference in Dubai, an innovative platform blending decentralized computing with AI and blockchain technology. Cocoon aims to create a decentralized infrastructure for AI-powered computations, where GPU owners can contribute their power and earn Toncoin (TON), while developers benefit from cost-efficient access to private data-protected resources. Telegram is slated to be the network’s first major client, integrating Cocoon’s capabilities into its global ecosystem to support its development and expansion. The official launch of Cocoon is scheduled for November 2025, with registration open for GPU owners and developers alike.
