Lisbon, Portugal, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AlphaTON Capital Corp. (NASDAQ:ATON), a leading digital asset company focused on growing the Telegram ecosystem, today announced a strategic partnership with SingularityNET, CUDO Compute, and Vertical Data to accelerate the development and deployment of Telegram's Cocoon AI network. The collaboration will deploy a new fleet of high-performance GPUs housed in a sustainable, hydroelectricity-powered data center in Sweden, marking a significant milestone in the convergence of ethical AI, data privacy, and environmental responsibility.

The partnership addresses a critical infrastructure gap in the rapidly evolving AI landscape: the need for decentralized, privacy-preserving computing power that operates without compromising environmental sustainability. Cocoon AI, Telegram's privacy-focused artificial intelligence initiative, enables users to maintain control over their data while accessing cutting-edge AI capabilities—a vision that aligns seamlessly with AlphaTON's mission to bridge traditional finance with blockchain-powered innovation.

"This partnership represents the future of AI infrastructure—one where privacy, sustainability, and decentralization aren't competing priorities, but foundational principles," said Brittany Kaiser, CEO of AlphaTON Capital Corp. "At AlphaTON, we've always believed that technology should empower individuals, not exploit them. By bringing together SingularityNET's leadership in decentralized AI, the computational expertise of CUDO and Vertical Data, and our commitment to sustainable infrastructure, we're building the backbone for an AI ecosystem that respects both human rights and planetary boundaries."

"The AI revolution demands massive computational resources, but it doesn't have to come at the expense of our planet or our privacy," Kaiser added. "Our hydroelectric-powered GPU infrastructure demonstrates that we can scale AI responsibly—combining the transparency of blockchain technology with the accountability of verified renewable energy usage."

The GPU fleet - structured and financed through Vertical Data's GPUFinancing.com subsidiary - will be deployed in hydroelectric-powered facilities, leveraging renewable energy to minimize the carbon footprint of AI training and inference operations. This infrastructure will support Cocoon AI's decentralized architecture, enabling privacy-preserving machine learning that keeps user data encrypted and under user control throughout the AI interaction process.

SingularityNET, a decentralized AI platform enabling anyone to create, share, and monetize AI services at scale, along with CUDO Compute and Vertical Data bring specialized expertise in high-performance computing infrastructure, while GPUFinancing.com supports capital deployment and structured financing of advanced GPU assets for decentralized AI workloads.

"Decentralized AI requires decentralized infrastructure," said Janet Adams COO of SingularityNET Foundation. "This partnership with AlphaTON Capital demonstrates how we can scale AI capabilities while maintaining the ethical foundations that make AI trustworthy. Privacy and sustainability aren't obstacles in AI development - they're competitive advantages."

"The convergence of decentralized AI and distributed GPU financing marks a new chapter in computing," said Deven Soni, CEO of Vertical Data and GPUFinancing.com. "Our mission is to make cutting-edge compute accessible through innovative financing solutions - allowing ethical, sustainable, and decentralized AI projects like Cocoon AI to scale rapidly without the constraints of centralized capital or infrastructure. This partnership is proof that responsible AI can be both profitable and planet-positive."

The partnership builds on AlphaTON's strategic positioning within the TON and Telegram ecosystem, where the company has established itself as one of the largest corporate holders of TON tokens. With over 1 billion monthly active users, Telegram represents one of the world's largest potential markets for privacy-preserving AI applications, from intelligent messaging assistants to decentralized content moderation and translation services.

The collaboration also reflects growing institutional recognition that the next generation of AI infrastructure must be built differently—prioritizing user sovereignty over data, environmental responsibility in energy consumption, and decentralized governance over centralized control. By combining AlphaTON's capital and sustainability expertise with SingularityNET's decentralized AI protocols and the technical capabilities of CUDO Compute and Vertical Data, the partnership aims to set new standards for ethical AI deployment at scale.

Financial terms of the partnership are subject to final definitive agreements. The initial GPU deployment is expected to begin in Q4 2025, with plans to scale operations throughout 2026 and beyond based on demand from Cocoon AI network participants.
