Telegram’s Pavel Durov Introduces AI Network Cocoon on TON

TheCryptoTimes2025-10-29 tarihinde yayınlandı2025-10-29 tarihinde güncellendi

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov announced the launch of Cocoon, short for Confidential Compute Open Network, during the Blockchain Life 2025 conference. The initiative introduces a decentralized AI compute network built on the TON blockchain, aiming to merge privacy-preserving artificial intelligence with open, distributed infrastructure.

Cocoon will allow GPU owners to contribute their unused computing power in exchange for TON tokens, while developers gain access to low-cost AI compute for their applications. 

Telegram itself will serve as the first major user of the platform, integrating Cocoon into its mini-app and bot ecosystem starting November 2025.

According to Durov, the network’s design ensures user data remains private, enabling AI-driven functions such as summarization or message drafting without relying on centralized systems. 

The CEO described Cocoon as a “market-driven infrastructure” that promotes transparent pricing and resists censorship, aligning with Telegram’s long-standing stance on user autonomy and digital freedom.

The initiative builds on Telegram’s broader integration with the TON blockchain, where decentralized apps, payments, and NFTs are already active. By merging AI and blockchain, Cocoon extends Durov’s vision beyond messaging into decentralized digital infrastructure.

From messaging to decentralized infrastructure

Durov’s recent comments on Bitcoin reflect his long-standing belief in decentralized value systems. He said early Bitcoin investments helped fund his life during Telegram’s early years, reinforcing his distrust of inflation-prone fiat systems.

That same mindset appears to inform Cocoon’s direction, framing it as part of Telegram’s shift from a communication platform to a decentralized digital ecosystem.

Viewed alongside his work on TON and his support for Bitcoin, Cocoon indicates that Durov’s approach has shifted from messaging privacy to exploring decentralized models for data, computation, and value exchange.

Eric Trump Sets A “Beyond Catastrophic” Bar To Sell Bitcoin — How Far Are We From That?

Eric Trump, Chief Strategy Officer of American Bitcoin Corp., has declared that the company would only sell its Bitcoin holdings under circumstances he describes as "beyond catastrophic." In an interview, he framed this as a strategic commitment to permanent accumulation, driven by the goal of increasing "satoshis per share" and competing in both the race for the largest Bitcoin holdings and the lowest acquisition cost. The company mines its Bitcoin at a claimed 53% below spot price and retains all coins, drawing a distinction from Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy, which has signaled some flexibility. Trump's stance sets a new benchmark for long-term commitment in the Bitcoin treasury sector. As of the report, Bitcoin trades near $82,000, with American Bitcoin's treasury holding over 7,000 BTC.

DeFi Has Reached Its Most Dangerous Moment: The Real Vulnerabilities Are Not in the Code

DeFi in Peril: The Real Vulnerability Isn't in the Code April 2026 marked a paradigm shift in DeFi security, with over $625 million lost across 30 incidents—the worst month in crypto history by event count. Crucially, none of the major exploits (Drift Protocol: $285M, KelpDAO: $292M, Wasabi Protocol: $4.5M) resulted from smart contract vulnerabilities. Instead, failures occurred in the operational "plumbing": social engineering to compromise multi-signature councils, a single-point-of-failure 1-of-1 bridge validator, and stolen admin private keys. These events expose a fundamental misalignment: the industry's security model has long focused on code audits, while the actual attack surface has shifted to privileged access points and off-chain infrastructure. The article introduces the term "OpenFi" to describe this reality: permissionless, on-chain, yet operationally dependent on trusted third parties (admins, validators, oracles) at key junctures. The KelpDAO exploit vividly demonstrated asymmetric "contagion risk." A configuration error in a smaller protocol triggered a panic, causing approximately $13.2 billion in outflows from larger, unaffected protocols like Aave within 48 hours, as users fled uncertain collateral. The core dilemma is the double-edged sword of centralization. Operational levers like emergency councils (e.g., Arbitrum freezing stolen funds post-KelpDAO) enable crisis response but also create catastrophic attack surfaces if compromised (e.g., Drift). The path forward demands radical honesty: protocols must clearly disclose their trust assumptions, operational levers, and failure modes. The industry must treat operational security (key management, configurations, incident response) with the same rigor as code security. Survival depends on building systems whose risks can be understood, priced, and insured, moving beyond the outdated "code is law" mantra to a mature model of disclosed and managed trust.

Vitalik's Article Emphasizes Ethereum Must Be 'Amazing', But Foundation Is Not the Center

Vitalik Buterin has published a lengthy response to recent community criticism directed at the Ethereum Foundation (EF). Acknowledging a sense of "unease," he addresses concerns about the EF's strategic direction, its perceived disconnect from ETH's price performance, and calls for its reduced central role. Vitalik rejects the notion that the EF should be the central governing body of Ethereum, framing it instead as one "node with a clear mandate" among many within the ecosystem. He highlights the EF's limited ETH holdings (≈0.16% of supply) compared to other blockchain foundations and states it will no longer sell significant amounts of ETH. Its future focus will be on long-term, critical projects that align with Ethereum's core values of censorship-resistance and decentralization, which might not otherwise happen. A core argument is that Ethereum must be "amazing," but not by merely chasing higher transaction speeds at the cost of decentralization. He proposes focusing on the "CROPS" dimensions: creating a Cryptographically provable, Reliable, Open, Private, and Secure network. This includes pursuing goals like a formally verifiable, bug-free Ethereum client and minimizing protocol-level reliance on intermediaries. The article concludes by noting that while Vitalik clarifies the EF's refocused role, he does not directly address community suggestions for creating a new organization explicitly aligned with ETH's economic interests. This "alignment gap" is presented as a key challenge for Ethereum's future.

Galxe: How a Quest Platform Evolved into Web3's Growth Infrastructure

Galxe, once perceived as a simple Web3 quest platform, has evolved into a core growth infrastructure within the Web3 ecosystem. It addresses a fundamental Web3 growth dilemma: the lack of a mature, systematic user acquisition and retention system akin to Web2's advertising and analytics platforms. While users complete quests (social tasks, on-chain interactions) for rewards, Galxe's true innovation lies in transforming these fragmented, one-off actions into lasting, verifiable identity credentials. This process of *behavioral assetization* creates a persistent record of a user's activities across projects and chains. For users, their wallet accumulates a valuable history that can unlock future access and rewards, fostering a "profile-building" mentality. For projects, Galxe provides a pre-screened user pool with rich behavioral data, enabling targeted outreach to users based on their specific on-chain history and community engagement. Galxe employs a gamefied growth path, guiding users from low-friction social tasks into deeper, valuable on-chain interactions through a structured progression of quests. This solves the incentive-behavior mismatch common in Web3, filtering users by their willingness to engage. Beyond quests, products like Passport (identity verification) and Starboard (community analytics) position Galxe as a comprehensive growth operating system. The platform's defensible advantage is its self-reinforcing data and network flywheel: more projects attract more users, enriching behavioral data; richer data enables better user targeting, attracting more projects. Ultimately, Galxe is shifting Web3's growth logic from short-term "reward-driven" traffic towards a long-term "identity-driven" relationship model, where a user's accumulated on-chain履历 becomes a core asset.

BTC Market Pulse: Week 22

Bitcoin's price weakened in Week 22, falling from $79K to around $74K before a partial recovery, with momentum down 21.7%. While selling pressure appeared to ease based on CVD metrics, overall market activity cooled as spot volume and futures open interest declined, signaling reduced speculation and a more cautious backdrop. Contrasting signals emerged. A 135.4% surge in long-side funding payments pointed to strong demand for bullish bets. Meanwhile, options skew shifted slightly, indicating greater demand for downside protection. In TradFi, US Spot ETF netflows improved 28.9%, though trade volume fell sharply. On-chain data showed minor dips in active addresses and transfer volume, hinting at a consolidation phase. Liquidity metrics suggested a more stable market with higher conviction. However, profitability ratios flagged increased market stress, with a notable rise in loss realization versus profit-taking. In summary, the market displayed signs of moderation and consolidation, characterized by reduced activity, cautious sentiment, and a mixed picture of risk appetite.
