In the digital world, one word continues to make waves: decentralization. Long confined to crypto or libertarian circles, it is now infiltrating every corner of the web: finances, social networks… and today artificial intelligence. It is no longer just a matter of disintermediating banks, but also data centers. Thanks to TON and Cocoon, even your graphics card can become an AI farm. Pavel Durov, true to his style, makes it a new tool of emancipation.
In brief
- Cocoon allows you to rent your GPU and earn Toncoin for confidential AI tasks.
- TON becomes the blockchain alternative to cloud giants like Amazon or Microsoft in artificial intelligence.
- Confidential computing protects all processed data without the GPU provider ever having access to it.
- Telegram plans to integrate Cocoon into its MiniApps to democratize private AI in messaging.
Telegram is betting everything on Cocoon: an in-house, connected, paid AI
Cocoon is the idea of a GPU Airbnb. Do you have a graphics card? You can rent it to run AI models… and get paid in Toncoin. No need for cloud. Just TON, the Telegram blockchain, which orchestrates everything. Barely launched, Cocoon was already handling AI tasks, with crypto payments for the first suppliers.
Pavel Durov announced it:
Users' first AI requests are now processed by Cocoon with 100% confidentiality. GPU owners are already gaining TON.
The promise? Putting power back in the hands of users. Control over their data. Access to income. Goodbye to the tech giants who centralize everything.
Confidential Computing, TON and AI: the response to the monopoly of the giants
Cocoon is based on confidential computing: end-to-end encrypted processing, even for the person hosting the calculation. Thanks to secure enclaves, no provider sees the processed data. Result: privacy guaranteed. A break from AWS or Azure.
On X, Viktor (@s0meone_u_know) writes:
At the heart of Cocoon is confidential computing, which ensures that all data – user queries, metadata and processes – remains encrypted throughout processing. Even GPU vendors cannot access or see the data they are running.
Cocoon already accepts open source AI models like DeepSeek or Qwen. Developers pay on demand, with no fixed fees. TON ensures fast and transparent transactions. Everything aligns for decentralized, private, and competitive computing.
Telegram turns its users into digital miners
Cocoon is not just a technological showcase. Telegram is its first client, integrating its tools into MiniApps. The objective? Make private AI accessible in messaging. Guaranteed encryption. Familiar interface. And above all, no central server.
Pavel Durov written in black on white : “ Cocoon will bring control and privacy back to where it belongs: with users “.
YOU don't move forward alone. He enters the arena against Bittensor, Render Network or Gensyn. But its major asset remains its base: more than a billion Telegram users. A community ready to mine AI… without knowing how to code.
The figures and facts that make the difference
- Current price of Toncoin: 1.5 dollars;
- Cocoon is natively integrated with Telegram;
- Confidentiality guaranteed: encrypted processing via secure enclaves;
- Crypto remuneration: TON paid for each AI task executed;
- Current compatibility: DeepSeek, Qwen and powerful open source models.
The future that Pavel Durov is building has no room for censorship. In August 2024, France targeted him, threatening his project. He warned: the country is heading towards its downfall if it persists on this path. With Cocoon, he is charting his own course. A route where users are masters, not subject. An AI without chains, and without flags.
