Cocoon
Cocoon is a decentralized “confidential compute” network that enables users to run AI workloads on a distributed GPU infrastructure while preserving data privacy and control. It leverages the TON blockchain and connected GPU providers to execute AI tasks inside encrypted environments so that no single company or node operator can access your data, effectively returning compute and data ownership to users rather than centralized cloud providers. Jobs are executed only for the duration needed and leave no traces on centralized storage, helping ensure privacy, security, and decentralization. Cocoon’s design aims to break away from legacy big-tech cloud monopolies by offering a transparent, crypto-enabled infrastructure: providers are rewarded (e.g., in native tokens) for contributing resources, and users get access to powerful compute without giving away control.

OpenGPU
OpenGPU Network is a decentralized GPU compute platform that connects users who need high-performance computing power with a global network of independent GPU providers, enabling AI inference, machine learning training, rendering, and other intensive workloads to run across distributed infrastructure instead of centralized cloud services. It acts as a global routing layer that automatically matches workloads with available GPU capacity worldwide, allowing tasks to be executed instantly without managing infrastructure or dealing with region limits, queues, or provisioning delays. It addresses the growing imbalance between high demand for GPUs and fragmented, underutilized supply by aggregating resources from data centers, cloud providers, and individual machines into a single network. OpenGPU operates on a blockchain-based system that coordinates task execution, verifies results, and distributes rewards, creating a trustless environment.

AWS Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA)
Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) is a network interface for Amazon EC2 instances that enables customers to run applications requiring high levels of inter-node communications at scale on AWS. Its custom-built operating system (OS) bypass hardware interface enhances the performance of inter-instance communications, which is critical to scaling these applications. With EFA, High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications using NVIDIA Collective Communications Library (NCCL) can scale to thousands of CPUs or GPUs. As a result, you get the application performance of on-premises HPC clusters with the on-demand elasticity and flexibility of the AWS cloud. EFA is available as an optional EC2 networking feature that you can enable on any supported EC2 instance at no additional cost. Plus, it works with the most commonly used interfaces, APIs, and libraries for inter-node communications.
