This partnership aims to address one of AI’s most pressing challenges: the need for decentralized computing power that protects privacy without compromising environmental responsibility.
Cocoon AI, Telegram’s privacy-focused AI initiative, allows users to maintain control over their personal data while using advanced AI features.
This vision closely aligns with AlphaTON’s mission to bridge traditional finance and blockchain-based innovation.
“This partnership represents the future of AI infrastructure, where privacy, sustainability, and decentralization are guiding principles rather than competing priorities,” said Brittany Kaiser, CEO of AlphaTON Capital Corp.
“At AlphaTON, we have always believed that technology should empower individuals, not exploit them.”
Kaiser highlighted that this effort brings together SingularityNET’s leadership in decentralized AI, CUDO Compute and Vertical Data’s computing expertise, and AlphaTON’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure.
The goal is to build an ecosystem that respects both human rights and the planet’s boundaries.

Under the partnership, a series of high-performance GPUs built and financed through Vertical Data’s GPUFinancing.com subsidiary will be deployed in hydropower data centers.
This renewable energy approach is designed to minimize the carbon footprint of training and operating AI while enabling privacy-preserving machine learning across the Cocoon AI network.
“Our hydropower-powered GPU infrastructure shows that AI can be scaled responsibly,” Kaiser added, highlighting how blockchain transparency and renewable energy verification are contributing to responsible and sustainable AI growth.
Janet Adams, COO of SingularityNET, echoed similar sentiments, saying decentralized AI requires decentralized infrastructure.
“This partnership with AlphaTON Capital shows how we can expand the capabilities of AI while maintaining the ethical foundations that make it trustworthy. Privacy and sustainability are competitive advantages, not obstacles,” Adams said.
Deven Soni, CEO of Vertical Data, added that the convergence of decentralized AI and decentralized GPU finance is “a new chapter in computing.”
According to Soni, innovative funding solutions will enable ethical and sustainable AI projects like Cocoon AI to access cutting-edge computational power and grow without relying on centralized capital or infrastructure.
Positioning for growth within the Telegram ecosystem

This initiative strengthens AlphaTON’s strategic role within the TON (The Open Network) and Telegram ecosystem, making it one of the largest corporate holders of TON tokens.
With over 1 billion monthly active users, Telegram represents a huge potential market for privacy-preserving AI applications, such as messaging assistants, decentralized content moderation, and translation tools.
The partnership also reflects a growing consensus in the technology sector that future AI infrastructure must prioritize user sovereignty, environmental responsibility, and decentralized governance.
By combining AlphaTON’s financial and sustainability expertise with SingularityNET’s decentralized AI protocol and CUDO computing and vertical data technical strengths, this partnership aims to establish a new standard for ethical AI deployment.
Initial GPU deployments are expected to begin in Q4 2025, with expansion planned through 2026 and beyond based on demand from Cocoon AI Network participants.
