Telegram Activates Cocoon Network to Rival AWS for AI Compute

Telegram Activates Cocoon Network to Rival AWS for AI Compute

The post Telegram Activates Cocoon Network to Rival AWS for AI Compute appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pavel Durov activated “Cocoon,” a decentralized compute network that pays GPU owners in TON. The system uses Intel TDX to enable “confidential inference,” protecting user data from node operators. TON price remains suppressed at $1.49, ignoring the infrastructure upgrade amid broader market fear. The Telegram ecosystem has officially entered the AI infrastructure race. Founder Pavel Durov confirmed Sunday that Cocoon, a decentralized network for confidential computing, is now live. The launch effectively turns the messaging giant into a broker for global GPU power, challenging centralized incumbents like Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. 🐣 It happened. Our decentralized confidential compute network, Cocoon, is live. The first AI requests from users are now being processed by Cocoon with 100% confidentiality. GPU owners are already earning TON. https://t.co/jDBwQNutH6 is up. 🏦 Centralized compute providers such… — Pavel Durov (@durov) November 30, 2025 Related: Telegram to Be First Client of Pavel Durov’s New Decentralized AI Network ‘Cocoon’ The ‘Sovereign AI’ Architecture Cocoon operates as a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN). It connects developers needing AI compute with users possessing idle GPUs. Crucially, the network solves the “privacy gap” that plagues decentralized AI. By leveraging Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX), Cocoon creates a “Trusted Execution Environment” (TEE) at the hardware level. This ensures that the node operator (the person renting out their GPU) cannot view the data being processed. A Strategic Boost for the TON Ecosystem Telegram will be Cocoon’s initial demand source and sets a strong foundation for network expansion. Durov said that Telegram intends to support early growth as GPU supply grows and developers adopt the confidential compute model. This creates a cycle where private AI utilities inside Telegram could raise usage of TON while the broader ecosystem moves closer to a decentralized digital economy. TON already acts as the backbone of Telegram’s…

AI Weekly Update: Popularity Drops to Low Point, but Application and Infrastructure Development Accelerates

AI Weekly Update: Popularity Drops to Low Point, but Application and Infrastructure Development Accelerates

Author: Ayan Khokhar&Teng Yan Compiled by: Tim, PANews 1. Current Market Situation The market cooled down this week. AI hype in the crypto world fell to a yearly low, with the total market capitalization of AI tokens dropping 2% to $21.5 billion and the robotics sector falling 9% to $1.05 billion. With the official launch of the Monad mainnet, market attention has shifted to the zero-knowledge proof and EVM sectors. Meanwhile, with the release of Gemini 3.0 and Grok surpassing 10 million daily active users, the usage of general artificial intelligence has reached a record high. After being listed on Binance, KITE surged by 21% due to the AI agent economy boom and the influx of new funds. $ONO broke out strongly after a period of consolidation, driven by a surge in DePIN network revenue and miners' accumulated holdings, with a single-day increase of 75%. Token listing $REPPO launched with a supply of 1 billion and an initial circulating supply of 16.5%. $SSS launched with a supply of 1 billion and a circulating supply of 15.2%. Event Preview Almanak: Strategy Builder v1 will be released on November 29th. 2. Chart Perspective Gensyn testnet transaction volume surpasses 500,000 transactions Source: Gensyn Testnet Explorer A chart that makes you want to see it a second time. The Gensyn public testnet has surpassed 500,000 transactions per day, rising steadily from approximately 350,000 in less than a week. The total transaction volume has now exceeded 84 million, serving over 155,000 users. Most of them come from early machine learning applications: RL Swarm tests distributed reinforcement learning (over 33,000 connected nodes) BlockAssist is capturing behavioral data from interactive environments (with over 1 million trained models). CodeAssist tests the editing and reasoning features in programming tasks (over 55,000 problems solved). Currently, most of the usage still comes from Gensyn's native applications. The real test lies in how much activity from external developers will be revealed after the network is fully opened. Earlier this week, the testnet did experience an RPC issue that caused some nodes to disconnect and go offline. However, the blockchain itself is still running and can be fixed simply by restarting it. 3. Project Analysis CodecFlow: Replace scripts with "Operators" A few months ago, I came across CodecFlow, an execution layer for AI agents and robots. At its core, it uses the "Optr" (Operators) model, which allows developers to apply the same automation logic to a computer desktop or a robotic arm without rewriting the code. Source: Codec Docs Operating principle Operators are small AI entities that continuously monitor the dynamics on a screen or in a robot's camera, analyze the information they see, and execute the next action. This process is repeated continuously. Each operator runs on an independent microcomputer, transmitting video streams to an artificial intelligence system and receiving operational instructions such as clicks, button presses, or robotic arm movements. Training operators is essentially demonstrating the task process to them. The system can learn from the demonstration after only one or two manual interventions. Once the operators have mastered the skills, they can be released for others to use. Source: Codec Docs Precautions Operators rely on consistent behavior across different machines. Since real robots and their actual environments do not always maintain uniform behavior, unexpected situations can arise rapidly. Codec also developed the Fabric architecture, which enables the rapid deployment of machines running Operators and seamless migration of tasks between the cloud, local computers, and real robots without interruption. Its core advantage lies in the fact that each agent runs in an independent, secure, and isolated environment, ensuring that task execution is undisturbed. 4. Highlight Events Financing news Numerai has raised $30 million in Series C funding at a $500 million valuation, which will be used to expand its AI-driven hedge fund.

Trading Moment: Christmas Market Outlook Uncertain, Bitcoin Tests $83,200 Support, Ethereum Closely Watches $2,600 Level

Trading Moment: Christmas Market Outlook Uncertain, Bitcoin Tests $83,200 Support, Ethereum Closely Watches $2,600 Level

Daily market data review and trend analysis, produced by PANews. 1. Market Observation In the US, due to signs of weakness in the labor market, institutions such as Goldman Sachs predict that a Federal Reserve rate cut in December is almost a certainty, with the market pricing in an 87% probability of a rate cut . Meanwhile, discussions about the next Federal Reserve Chairman have also attracted attention, with White House National Economic Council Director Hassett considered a leading candidate , whose stance could push for more aggressive rate-cutting policies. In stark contrast, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda has issued its clearest signal to date regarding a rate hike , hinting at a possible rate adjustment in December and planning to further clarify the future path after the rate reaches 0.75%. On the regulatory front, the People's Bank of China convened a multi-department meeting on November 29th, reiterating its crackdown on virtual currencies and defining stablecoins for the first time as a form of virtual currency with risks of money laundering and illegal fundraising. Meanwhile, investigative reports on the rampant cryptocurrency speculation show that this activity is gradually infiltrating mainstream social media and e-commerce platforms, including Xiaohongshu and Taobao , forming a trap for ordinary investors. Regulatory authorities may further intensify their oversight of virtual currency-related activities to prevent potential financial risks and protect investor rights. In this environment, risk aversion and demand for scarce assets have surged, with spot silver prices historically breaking through $57/ounce, driven by tight supply and expectations of interest rate cuts, while gold prices have also remained strong. However, the traditional "Christmas rally" in US stocks may be absent this year . Wall Street strategists point out that the disruptive impact of AI and continued market volatility have broken past seasonal patterns, adding uncertainty to the year-end performance of risk assets. Bitcoin closed at $90,360 in November, marking its worst November performance since 2018, with a monthly drop of 17.55%. This downward trend continued on December 1st, with the market opening in the red and falling by more than 5% at one point, breaking below $86,000. This volatility triggered massive leveraged liquidations, further exacerbating market uncertainty. Renowned trader Peter Brandt pointed out that the price of Bitcoin could fall below $70,000, with support at the mid-$40,000 level. Analyst James Wynn believes the market is in a phase of "anxiety and denial," with an initial target price of $67,000, and a potential further decline to the $40,000 to $50,000 range. Economic analyst Timothy Peterson's analysis shows that the current Bitcoin price movement has a 98% correlation with the monthly charts of the 2022 bear market, suggesting that a true recovery may not occur until the first quarter of next year. Analyst Aylo also pointed out from a historical cycle perspective that Bitcoin always falls back to the 200-week moving average (currently around $63,000 to $65,000) after reaching its peak, and believes that factors such as miners shifting to AI may become downward catalysts. On the other hand, some analysts hold a relatively optimistic or neutral view. Analyst Sykodelic believes this decline is a healthy liquidity cleanup. CrypNuevo predicts the price may fluctuate between $80,000 and $99,000, with key resistance at $94,500. A break above this level could see the price test the major resistance at $99,000. Against this backdrop, CoinAnk's liquidation heatmap shows short-term support between $83,200 and $84,000, while short-term upside resistance is between $94,000 and $95,200. Meanwhile, the CEO of Strategy reiterated that Bitcoin will only be sold if the Bitcoin Net Asset Value (mNAV) falls below 1 and funding is unavailable. Ethereum 's price action is similar to Bitcoin's. Analyst Daan Crypto Trades points out that ETH is currently fluctuating within the key range of $2,600 to $3,000. A break above $3,000 could see it rise to $3,300-$3,400; conversely, a drop below $2,600 could see it fall to a low of $2,000. Analyst Man of Bitcoin also believes that ETH has not yet shown clear signs of bottoming out, with a key level at $2,903. However, the market is also facing selling pressure. According to data from ValidatorQueue, approximately 1.5 million ETH will be unstaking by the end of December, which may be related to institutional rebalancing and market volatility. Recent project-related risk events have been frequent. Yearn Finance's yETH stablecoin pool was attacked, with attackers exploiting an infinite minting vulnerability to drain the pool, resulting in a loss of approximately $9 million. Although the Yearn team stated that other core treasuries were unaffected, the incident has still raised market concerns about DeFi security. Meanwhile , the price of the SAHARA token plummeted by over 55%. According to KOLs, this was due to its active market makers being liquidated by the exchange for abnormal operations on other projects, leading to forced liquidation of their positions. Furthermore, amidst the current panic, Binance announced that it would add tokens such as DENT, CHESS, and SXP to its monitoring list, causing these tokens to generally fall by more than 20%. 2. Key Data (as of 13:00 HKT, December 1st) (Data source: CoinAnk, Upbit, Coingecko, SoSoValue, CoinMarketCap) Bitcoin: $8,576 (down 7.82% year-to-date), daily spot trading volume $61.03 billion.

If Bitcoin Reaches $200K by 2030, Ozak AI Could Reach $10 — Delivering 30× Higher Returns Than BTC

If Bitcoin Reaches $200K by 2030, Ozak AI Could Reach $10 — Delivering 30× Higher Returns Than BTC

For over a decade, Bitcoin (BTC) has been the benchmark for crypto wealth creation. Its rise from pennies to six-figure projections has defined an entire generation of digital investors. But as the market matures, a new question is dominating analyst discussions: where will the next exponential returns come from? According to multiple long-range forecasts, if Bitcoin climbs to $200,000 by 2030—a realistic scenario given historical halving cycles—holders could see a roughly 180% gain from current levels near $71,000. Respectable, yes—but far from the thousand-percent runs that built crypto legends. In contrast, emerging data suggests that Ozak AI ($OZ)—an AI-integrated blockchain network currently in presale—could rise from $0.014 to as high as $10 by 2030, representing a 714× return, or about 30 times the potential ROI of Bitcoin in the same period. $4.5 Million Raised and Counting Ozak AI’s presale has become one of 2025’s most impressive funding stories. Having more than $4.5 million raised and over 1 billion tokens sold, the project has successfully captivated the amalgamation of institutional curiosity and retail enthusiasm. The ongoing presale price is $0.014, and the target price sits at $1.00, showing strong investor expectations before launch.  The surge has positioned Ozak AI among the few AI-crypto projects capable of crossing into mainstream investor awareness before listing—a feat that even early-stage giants like Chainlink and Polygon took years to achieve. AI Meets Blockchain: The Next Wealth Engine The logic behind analysts’ bullish outlook is simple: AI integration is the next super-cycle driver. As machine learning becomes central to global finance, logistics, and data security, blockchains that can store, compute, and validate AI-driven insights will form the backbone of this new economy. Ozak AI’s architecture does exactly that. It fuses artificial-intelligence agents and decentralized data systems to enable real-time predictive computation across markets and industries. Its core features—Prediction Agents (PAs), Ozak Stream Network (OSN), EigenLayer AVS, Ozak Data Vaults, and DePIN infrastructure—build a multi-layer framework where AI and blockchain operate symbiotically. Strategic collaborations with SINT, HIVE Intel, Weblume, and Pyth Network further bolster credibility, linking Ozak AI’s ecosystem with established analytics and oracle providers. The Math Behind the $10 Target Analysts are cautious about hyperbolic forecasts—but the math on Ozak AI’s potential is compelling. Presale Price: $0.014 Projected 2026 Listing Price: $1.00 Long-Term 2030 Projection: $10.00 This discrepancy between stability and growth velocity is what’s driving capital rotation into new-generation tokens like Ozak AI. Why Analysts Are Paying Attention Market research firms tracking early presale dynamics note that Ozak AI’s fundraising pace and community engagement mirror early trends seen before major bull runs. With AI-crypto narratives dominating 2025-2026, the project’s momentum is expected to accelerate once its exchange listing goes live. Several long-term investors have already classified Ozak AI as a “next-cycle multiplier,” meaning its core value could expand tenfold even before reaching peak market hype. “Bitcoin remains the benchmark for digital value,” said one senior strategist at Blockchain Macro Insights. “But projects like Ozak AI represent the next generation—where technological utility and exponential upside coexist. It’s the natural evolution of the market.” Conclusion If Ozak AI executes on its roadmap and maintains its current trajectory, it could redefine what high-growth utility tokens look like in the AI era. With its $4.5 million presale milestone, Phase 7 nearing completion, and listing on the horizon, Ozak AI isn’t just another speculative play—it’s the clearest example of how the intersection of AI and blockchain could create the next wave of crypto millionaires. As markets prepare for their next major rotation, investors are watching one simple equation:Bitcoin = store of value.Ozak AI = engine of exponential growth.
