AlphaTON names Morpheus AI as preferred infrastructure partner to speed AI-agent builds on TON/Telegram.

The agreement creates a clear go-to infrastructure path: portfolio companies get prioritized access to Morpheus AI’s decentralized inference marketplace, tools marketplace, and storage marketplace, reducing time and engineering effort needed to launch agentic features on Telegram’s platform as of Oct. 13, 2025.

Key dependencies include adoption by AlphaTON portfolio teams, the live maturity of Morpheus’ inference and storage marketplaces, and any token-economics mechanics tied to holding $MOR. If those elements remain operational and integrated, the partnership materially lowers build costs and accelerates productization.

Watch for three concrete milestones in the near term: production integrations into incubated projects, public availability of the United Tools Marketplace, and measurable usage on the Morpheus inference marketplace; expect these to surface over the next 6–18 months.

Landmark Strategic Partnership Establishes Morpheus as Preferred AI Infrastructure Provider for AlphaTON's Portfolio Companies

Dover, DE, Oct. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telegram's more than 1 billion monthly active users represent the world's largest untapped market for AI agents that actually respect user privacy and data ownership. Today, AlphaTON Capital Corp. (Nasdaq: ATON), which manages digital asset investments across the TON and Telegram ecosystem, partnered with the Morpheus AI (Ethereum: $MOR), building the decentralized AI infrastructure needed to build and power AI Agents at scale.

Under the terms of the Strategic Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Morpheus will serve as the preferred AI infrastructure provider for all AlphaTON Capital portfolio companies and incubated projects seeking to integrate AI agent capabilities. This partnership addresses critical infrastructure needs for AI agents, including inference services, agent tools & plugins, and decentralized storage solutions.

"As we incubate and support innovative projects in the TON ecosystem, providing them with best-in-class, data-protection focused, AI infrastructure is essential to their success in the world’s largest platform that respects data ownership with integrity," said Brittany Kaiser, CEO of AlphaTON Capital.        
 
 We’re excited to welcome AlphaTON Capital's portfolio companies into the Morpheus AI ecosystem—it’s validation that sophisticated builders recognize the infrastructure opportunity ahead. As agents proliferate, the demand for decentralized compute, storage, and tools will be massive. By holding $MOR, these companies aren't just accessing infrastructure—they're owning a stake in the protocol itself, participating in the economics of the entire agent economy. This is how you position early in infrastructure networks: you become part of the value capture mechanism, not just a customer paying rent to centralized providers”, shared open source contributor David Johnston.

The Morpheus AI has developed a three-pillar infrastructure approach that addresses the core needs of AI agent developers:

Decentralized Inference Layer

Morpheus operates a live on-chain marketplace for AI inference, allowing both inference “consumers” and model “providers” to permissionlessly transact with one another. The Morpheus Inference API simplifies these transactions by abstracting the complex blockchain integrations with an easy-to-use API endpoint. 

United Tools Marketplace

Currently in development, this marketplace will revolutionize how developers access external services and “tools” for their AI agents. Rather than managing and integrating hundreds of individual API keys and complex integrations, developers can let their agents choose which tools are needed to deliver a result, and access that tool through the marketplace, creating a highly intelligent and adaptive AI agent system.  .

Decentralized Storage Solutions

The Morpheus Storage Marketplace addresses the critical need for persistent data storage, knowledge bases, and context for AI agents operating in decentralized environments.

"The traditional approach to building AI agents is manual and costly, requiring developers to individually integrate dozens of tools, manage countless API keys, and hope they've anticipated every use case," said   Kyle Cohen, Product Contributor at Morpheus AI. "Our infrastructure allows agents to become smarter than their creators by dynamically accessing the tools they need from our marketplace, rather than being limited to a pre-selected subset chosen by the developer."

This partnership positions AlphaTON Capital's portfolio companies at the forefront of the AI agent revolution, with immediate access to production-ready infrastructure that would otherwise require months of development time and significant technical resources.

The collaboration will also facilitate knowledge sharing between Morpheus AI and AlphaTON's ecosystem, ensuring that emerging best practices and technological innovations benefit all participants.
