Durov Launches Cocoon, a Fully Decentralized Confidential AI Compute Network on TON

The TON ecosystem is expanding again, and this time, it’s entering the race to build private, censorship-resistant AI infrastructure.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov has announced the launch of Cocoon, a decentralized confidential compute network that runs AI workloads directly on The Open Network (TON). The system went live this week, and it is already processing real user requests with full privacy while GPU providers earn TON in real time.

Durov confirmed the launch in a public announcement on X, writing that “the first AI requests from users are now being processed by Cocoon with 100% confidentiality. GPU owners are already earning TON.”
