New York, NY, Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AlphaTON Capital (Nasdaq: ATON<\/u><\/a>), the world’s leading public technology company scaling the Telegram super app, with an addressable market of 1 billion monthly active users, today announced a landmark agreement with the Midnight<\/u> Foundation<\/u><\/a>, an organisation dedicated to the development, adoption and real-world impact of the Midnight network<\/u><\/a> a privacy-enhancing blockchain founded by Charles Hoskinson, founder and CEO of Input Output, the engineering company behind Cardano.<\/p>\n

This strategic partnership marks the first-to-market integration of a zero-knowledge blockchain with the TON ecosystem. Combined with AlphaTON\u2019s recent deployment of infrastructure for Telegram\u2019s privacy-centric Cocoon AI, this positions AlphaTON Capital to deliver fully vertically integrated, privacy-preserving AI products to Telegram\u2019s nearly one billion users. Built on Cocoon AI\u2019s foundation of confidential compute, this initiative advances AlphaTON\u2019s mission to generate sustained shareholder value by empowering billions with digital sovereignty.<\/p>\n

In an era where AI and data privacy are at the forefront of public concern, users are increasingly seeking alternatives to centralized models that harvest their information. Telegram\u2019s Cocoon AI, layered with Midnight\u2019s groundbreaking programmable privacy features, will create a new standard. This hybrid architecture will enable Telegram users to interact with sophisticated AI agents for tasks such as finance, shopping, and support, while keeping their messages, credentials, and financial data fully confidential. Neither Telegram, Cocoon AI, AlphaTON, nor Midnight will receive or access users\u2019 data. The user will own their data across the entire stack and can keep all personal data private whilst using advanced AI applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next great leap for the internet isn\u2019t more speed or more content, it\u2019s the restoration of personal agency. Utility should not come at the expense of privacy and ownership,\u201d said Fahmi Syed, President of the Midnight Foundation<\/strong>. \u201cBy providing a platform for privacy-enhancing applications, we empower organizations like AlphaTON Capital to deliver innovation that keeps users in control while remaining compliant. This partnership is a powerful example of how decentralized technology can be scaled to meet real-world demand.\u201d<\/p>\n

This integration positions AlphaTON Capital as an ecosystem growth vehicle, enabling the world\u2019s super-app to become the hub for the most advanced privacy technologies.\u00a0 \u201cBy building the critical infrastructure that enables confidential AI on a global platform, we are creating a new and highly scalable revenue stream. We\u2019re capturing a first-mover advantage in a market projected to reach trillions of dollars, solidifying our role as an essential infrastructure provider in the new digital economy,\u201d said Enzo Villani, Chairman of the Board, AlphaTON Capital. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Financial and Operational Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Federated Node Agreement is a signed, legally binding contract that establishes a clear framework for immediate revenue generation and long-term value creation. Under the terms of the agreement, Midnight has engaged AlphaTON Capital to provide one of the ten founding Midnight nodes to develop and deploy software that integrates Midnight\u2019s privacy layer with Telegram and the\u00a0 TON blockchain.<\/p>\n
