I just saw a news that Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, has made another major move.

Their decentralized confidential computing network Cocoon is officially operational. The first batch of AI requests has successfully run on this network, and it is the encrypted processing type. More importantly, those providing GPU computing power can now directly receive TON as a reward.

The upcoming plan for this thing sounds quite practical: continue to expand the GPU resource pool, attract more developers, and then embed AI functions directly into Telegram. In simpler terms, it aims to decentralize AI computing while also pushing the TON ecosystem forward.

The Cocoon project is essentially focused on confidential computing, allowing AI processing to be both distributed and private. Now the first step has been taken, and the extent to which it can progress depends on whether GPU supply and the developer ecosystem can keep up.

Wait, directly using TON rewards for GPU providers? I like this logic, finally a project that isn't just thinking about playing people for suckers. Telegram's own GPU network is up and running, now AI computing power really has the potential for decentralization... But to be honest, whether the ecosystem can keep up is key, or else it will just be another conceptual bomb. Pavel can't sit still, turning a social software into a computing power platform, I feel like he's betting on the future of TON. Simply put, it's about not falling behind in this wave of AI, tying TON firmly to the ecosystem. Can it succeed? Let's see if GPU miners are willing to cooperate. Confidential computing plus distributed, sounds good, just afraid it will end up being another large PPT show.

If this Cocoon can really run, the TON ecosystem will definitely go to da moon. --- It's Durov again, this guy is really not idle, has he directly made AI computing distributed? --- Mining with GPU for TON rewards sounds good, but I'm afraid it's just pie in the sky again. --- Confidential computing plus distributed, sounds pretty bull in concept, but it really needs to be usable. --- Is Telegram going to embed AI features? If this really happens, the landscape will indeed be opened up. --- The TON ecosystem needs these practical implementations, otherwise, it's just a concept coin. --- The first batch of requests running through doesn't mean anything, it's about how many concurrent connections can be supported later.

Durov is indeed impressive, he has Telegram in one hand and TON in the other, and now he's directly integrating AI computing power into the mix. This guy is really playing a big game. While people are still arguing about the centralization of AI, he has already started running AI requests on Cocoon, and GPU providers can earn TON directly. I need to think about this logic. It all depends on whether the subsequent GPU nodes can really be rolled out; otherwise, no matter how good the architecture is, it will be pointless.

Alright, Durov is at it again, this time directly decentralizing AI Computing Power, which is quite bold. There are new ways to earn TON, just worried that the GPUs won't be enough. It's good that Cocoon can run, but the ecosystem isn't there yet, that's the key; let's see how it develops. This idea is indeed good, combining confidential computing with Telegram, but I wonder what the actual experience will be like. Another project painting a big picture, let's wait and see if it can survive for more than half a year.

Here we go again, this guy Pavel can't sit still, he's actually running AI on-chain and wants to keep it a secret, what a brilliant idea!

Here we go again, Pavel just can't sit still. Cocoon sounds like it has some potential, but whether the GPU supply is sufficient is a concern.

Here we go again, this guy Durov just can't sit still. Cocoon is online and can run AI directly while also earning TON. This move is indeed bold.
