AlphaTON commits material GPU and data‑center capacity to support Telegram's Cocoon, a decentralized confidential‑compute AI network launching in November 2025.

AlphaTON's plan to deploy next‑generation, high‑memory GPUs and colocated data‑center resources creates the physical compute backbone Cocoon needs to handle high‑volume inference workloads. By targeting enterprise‑grade uptime and models named in the release (DeepSeek, Qwen), the company aligns its capacity with likely memory‑ and I/O‑intensive inference tasks and with Telegram as the initial anchor customer.

Key dependencies include the actual scale of deployed GPUs, successful onboarding of app developers and GPU providers during the application window, and the network's ability to convert Telegram usage into paid inference demand. Watch the November 2025 launch and subsequent announcements quantifying deployed GPU count, data‑center locations, and any binding service agreements; those will determine whether the investment meaningfully increases AlphaTON's utilization and revenue potential over the near term.
