The post Durov Launches Cococom. Cocoon is a confidential compute network on TON for private AI tasks, slated for November 2025. The design emphasizes confidential compute, meaning data processed is encrypted and the compute provider cannot directly view user inputs or requests Telegram plans to use Cocoon inside Mini Apps and bots, giving the rollout instant reach. At the Blockchain Life 2025 conference held in Dubai, Pavel Durov formally introduced the Cocoon network, short for Confidential Compute Open Network. Cocoon is described as a decentralized compute network built on TON, with the goal of enabling private, secure AI inference and compute tasks. How The ‘Cocoon’ Network Works Hardware providers (such as GPU owners) will be able to contribute computing resources and earn TON tokens. Also, developers can pay in TON to access compute power for AI models. The design emphasizes confidential compute, meaning data processed is encrypted and the compute provider can’t directly view user inputs or requests. The official launch is scheduled for November 2025, and the network is now accepting applications from both hardware providers and software developers who wish to participate. Perhaps not unexpectedly, Telegram itself is planned as the first major client of Cocoon’s services, integrating its AI capabilities into the Telegram mini-apps and bot ecosystem. A notable announcement As it stands now, Cocoon is poised to bring together two major tech trends: decentralized AI services and blockchain infrastructure. This just might position it to capitalize on the growing demand for distributed computing resources. It’s worth noting that a key feature is its strong focus on privacy. It processes data in a way that keeps it encrypted and hidden from the service provider, which is a major advantage in an age of data leaks and big tech AI dominance. The announcement is potentially good news for the TON token as well.
