Miami, FL, Jan. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AlphaTON Capital Corp. (Nasdaq: ATON) ("AlphaTON" or the "Company"), announced today The AlphaTON Claude Connector is a platform designed to bridge Anthropic’s Claude AI with the TON (The Open Network) blockchain. It primarily operates through a Telegram interface, allowing users to manage digital assets and execute blockchain transactions using natural language commands.

Jason Calcanis recently was interviewed and discussed the issue of centralized AI companies and how they plan to steal customers data. In the post, Calcanis states that they are seeking to absorb all the content through the AI and steal your ideas.
These new concerns have created a movement that AlphaTON Capital is supporting through its AI GPU infrastructure, Telegram applications, and support of privacy-centric compute for non-military use.
“The confidential compute AI craze involving Mac minis and Claude AI is a 2026 trend where users are moving away from Big Tech cloud processing to local, privacy-first AI servers.” commented Brittany Kaiser, CEO of AlphaTON Capital. “AlphaTON’s Claude Connector provides the security and privacy without the hardware having to run locally, and you can use it right in Telegram as an app.”
Get the AlphaTON Claude Connector Telegram App with End-to-End encryption
Connecting to the App:
- The GitHub repository for the AlphaTON Claude Connector is hosted under the AlphaTON Capital organization. The specific address for the Telegram Claude Connector is: https://github.com/AlphaTONCapital/claude
- If you are setting this up for the first time, you will likely need to configure it as a custom connector in your Claude Desktop settings using the claude desktop_config.json file.
- The code is open source and we invite developers to contribute.
Key Technical Details:
- Built on MCP: It utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing it to be easily integrated into Claude Desktop or CLI environments.
- Primary Language: The repository is primarily written in TypeScript.
- Functionality: It enables users to check wallet balances, send TON,and view transaction histories directly within a chat.
- Security: End-to-end encryption and no storage of private keys or mnemonics within the application code.
The Claude Connection
Anthropic’s recent releases changed how people use the Mac mini:
- Claude Cowork & Code: These tools allow Claude to operate directly on a file system. Users "airgap" their sensitive data by putting it on a Mac mini and letting Claude work there, rather than on their main work machine.
- MCP (Model Context Protocol): This is the "glue." Users run MCP servers on the Mac mini, which allows Claude to securely "talk" to local databases, smart home devices, and blockchain wallets (like the AlphaTON connector) without that data ever leaving the local network.
- Driven by the launch of Anthropic's Claude "Cowork" and the Claude Code agentic tools, this movement has turned the Mac mini (specifically the M4 and M5 models) into the "gold standard" for personal AI infrastructure.
AlphaTON and the "Confidential" Aspect
Companies like AlphaTON Capital have leaned into this by deploying "Confidential Compute" clusters. While they use massive NVIDIA B300 clusters for enterprise-grade privacy, the "craze" among individuals is essentially a DIY version of this:
- Sovereignty: You own the hardware.
- Privacy: Your files stay on the Mac mini.
- Automation: Claude acts as the brain, executing tasks via the Telegram/TON interface or CLI.
