Introducing COTI 2.0 Private Programmable Money COTI shifts into its next phase, with a new website to match. > coti.io Same foundation. Bolder vision. 1. The Vision The world's money will soon move the way information does, on open networks. But those networks are public, and nobody wants to run their finances in public. COTI is now critically tasked with changing that. Its mission is to make private programmable money the global standard, so institutions, businesses, developers and individuals can hold, move and settle value on public blockchains, confidentially. COTI exists to champion this cause. 2. The Foundation Since 2017, COTI has built the privacy technology this next phase runs on. It was the first network to run garbled circuits in production, computing directly on encrypted data so inputs stay encrypted from submission to settlement. Its institutional-grade technology has been developed across leading institutions: 1. European Central Bank 2. Bank of Israel 3. Input Output Global (IOG) 3. Privacy-on-Demand Privacy-on-Demand serves as COTI's privacy layer for other blockchains. It allows applications to keep their users and assets on their existing chain, while COTI handles the private computation. Avalanche was the first network to bring it to production. Since September 17, applications on Avalanche have been computing on confidential data, and users have been shielding AVAX and USDC through the Privacy Portal. Expansion to further networks is a core part of the roadmap. 4. New Products At the centre of COTI 2.0 are two new products, designed to keep transactions private when moving money between blockchains, and when spending it in day to day life. 1. Interphase - The flagship. It serves as the global privacy layer for moving assets between blockchains, and executing confidential, unlinked transfers across 30+ major networks. 2. COTI Global - A new central application, which allows COTI to be spent as a privacy payment rail for everything in day to day life. 5. What's Next The new website and public roadmap are the first of several major upgrades coming this month.

Bitcoin made money digital. Zcash made money private. COTI makes all money private and programmable. Public chains are a glass box. Every balance, every transfer, every counterparty is visible to anyone who looks. That works for speculation. It does not work for money. COTI invented the first private chain with smart contracts. Build, trade, and transact privately. Privacy-on-demand tooling for every major chain, powered by and ran on COTI. Already live on Avalanche. More coming. ╰┈➤ COTI Privacy-on-Demand All your transactions executed privately on demand. Keep accounts and assets on the chain you already use. ╰┈➤ COTI Interphase The privacy layer for multi-chain settlement. Confidential, traceless transfers across 30+ major blockchains. Nothing linking sender to receiver, while still compliant. Powered by COTI garbled circuits, the fastest privacy technology in crypto. ╰┈➤ COTI Global Spend crypto in the real world, privately. COTI Global puts your daily spending, travel, and browsing in one app. One private balance. Only you can see it. Institutional-grade technology, developed across the European Central Bank, the Bank of Israel, Avalanche, Input Output, and the Cardano Foundation. Built since 2017 toward one idea. Private money, as the standard that powers all of crypto.

COTI Ops Update Following the last update, the team and the market maker have engaged in constructive discussions and have reached an amicable resolution. 1. Resolution The team has acquired the market maker's full COTI position. Both parties accepted the terms, and the matter is now closed. 2. Reasoning A significant allocation sat with a party whose interests had diverged from the project's. Legal processes take months. COTI does not have months to spend on a distraction. Acquiring the position resolves the matter now, in full, and on the team's terms. 3. Team Alignment The team committed its own capital to the original purchase. That commitment is now substantially larger. Team ownership of COTI is at its highest since the handover, and its incentive is the same as the community's: the success of COTI. 4. Closing Points With the matter resolved, every hour goes to delivery. Q4 is about the product roadmap and expanding the utility of the COTI token. That's paramount.

X Spaces with new CEO, Robbie Vander Ghinste, and new CMO, Sara Bouchet Following community questions, Robbie and Sara will host an X Space tomorrow at 10:00 UTC, covering every point the community has raised. Preliminary Clarifications 1. COTI Foundation COTI Foundation continues as is. Robbie is setting a new mission for the project, with a bigger emphasis on commercial development. Sara joins as CMO, with a background in building consumer apps. She will lead the launch of the COTI app and its products. 2. Wider Roadmap There is no structural change to the project, beyond the change of management. This is necessary to shape the vision beyond a purely technical focus. Robbie brings a network, and experience, focused on business applications of the technology. Implementation of $COTI is at the heart of this. 3. Timeline At the centre of Robbie's focus is a new central application, which allows COTI to be spent as a privacy payment rail for everything in day to day life. The public roadmap, detailing each milestone the new app will bring, will be published tomorrow. Confidence is earned. Robbie is committed to years of work on the implementation of $COTI as a private, spendable currency, and to letting that work speak for itself. 4. Community Feedback The Google form below is for the community to submit their key questions to Robbie and Sara, so they can be addressed in the AMA. > docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… We intend to make this recurring, so that concerns are addressed regularly as COTI becomes a commercial implementation of privacy.
