## Overview

TON has no shielded transactions. Catchain 2.0 sped up on-chain proof verification in April 2026, which enables future privacy work rather than delivering it. In practice the ecosystem offers a small Tornado-style mixer and Telegram's Cocoon network for confidential AI inference, which protects computation rather than money.
