New York, NY, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AlphaTON Capital (Nasdaq: ATON), a dominant force in the Telegram and TON ecosystem - more than 1B users strong - today announced a key appointment to spearhead the development of next-generation blockchain and decentralized AI infrastructure.

The company today announced the appointment of Logan Ryan Golema as Chief Technology Officer, a move that signals a decisive shift from promise to production within the TON and Telegram ecosystems.

Golema is not a newcomer to the AlphaTON mission; he is an architect already shaping its success. His leadership was recently on full display at the flagship TOKEN2049 "Origins" Hackathon in Singapore, where, as AlphaTON Capital’s lead, he mentored top developer teams and oversaw the evaluation of groundbreaking applications. Under his guidance, teams "shipped at warp speed: from payroll and vaults to encrypted market design—all built inside Telegram, where users already are," demonstrating the rapid, real-world utility Golema is known for unlocking.

This proven ability to translate vision into working products is precisely what AlphaTON is prioritizing as the market demands results over rhetoric. Golema brings over 15 years of experience at the intersection of blockchain, artificial intelligence, and Web3, with a distinguished track record of building, scaling, and successfully exiting transformative technology ventures.

“Logan is a proven and pragmatic executor in the most dynamic environments,” said Brittany Kaiser, CEO of AlphaTON Capital. “In a market that rewards tangible progress, his leadership is our ultimate assurance to investors. He understands the roadmap for our Cocoon AI initiative as well as our expansion across the Telegram ecosystem, and has already been actively building the infrastructure and community to make it a reality.”

His mandate includes deploying AlphaTON's GPU infrastructure to power Cocoon—a decentralized AI for Telegram's 1 billion users first unveiled by Pavel Durov—reinforcing our core mission: to build the infrastructure that makes data ownership a reality for everyone.

To provide investors and the community with direct insight into his vision, Logan Golema will be the guest at our first scheduled X Space AMA (“Ask Me Anything”). Meet Logan Golema, his team, and hear his strategic plan on Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 11:30 am  EST / 17 30 CET.
