COTI COTIPrice $ 0.0128

COTI is a layer-2 blockchain focused on enabling confidential computation and private decentralized applications on top of Ethereum by using advanced cryptographic techniques like garbled circuits, which allow data and logic to be processed without exposing them publicly onchain.

Initially launched as a payments-oriented network with a DAG-based Trustchain and Proof-of-Trust consensus, COTI evolved into COTI V2, a privacy-focused Layer 2 on Ethereum that supports encrypted smart contracts, confidential transactions, and private voting mechanisms.

The COTI token serves as gas for private computation — it is spent to run confidential logic, stake in the Treasury for rewards, and (in future phases) participate in governance.

Developers can build private DeFi, private stablecoins, and enterprise-grade applications on this infrastructure while still preserving auditability and compliance. COTI’s documentation includes guides for running full nodes that help secure and decentralize the network, with incentives for uptime and contribution. Use cases extend to privacy-preserving DeFi, confidential voting, and enterprise workflows where confidentiality matters alongside transparency.
