Telegram Introduces Cocoon: A Decentralized AI & Blockchain Infrastructure Project

Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, unveiled a groundbreaking new project called Cocoon at the Blockchain Life 2025 forum. This decentralized network aims to revolutionize AI computing by integrating it with the TON blockchain. It empowers users who own powerful graphics cards to contribute their resources and receive compensation in TON cryptocurrency. The first major client for this innovative platform will be Telegram itself, which plans to integrate Cocoon into its messaging app to enhance features such as text summarization and message drafting.
