Telegram Launches AI Network Cocoon on TON Blockchain

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov unveiled Cocoon, a decentralized AI network built on the TON blockchain, at the Blockchain Life 2025 conference. Cocoon leverages the TON blockchain to provide privacy-preserving AI computing for applications while enabling GPU owners to contribute their unused processing power in exchange for TON tokens. Telegram itself will be among the first major users of this technology, integrating it into its mini-app and bot ecosystem starting November 2025.
