Ethereum’s latest Fusaka upgrade just answered a long-running debate: Privacy L1 or Privacy L2?

Fusaka consolidates the role of Ethereum as a settlement layer, and pushes specialization, such as private computation, outward onto L2s.

COTI’s privacy L2 architecture suddenly feels appropriate, and even inevitable. Read the full article👇

MEXC have informed us that gCOTI will be delisted on Dec 19 due to not meeting their internal thresholds. Users should withdrawal their gCOTI to avoid disruption.

Please note: This is not related to the COTI protocol, COTI token, gCOTI utility, or development progress.

gCOTI remains fully functional across the ecosystem, and we’re continuing to focus on building, integrations, and liquidity where it matters most.

a16z recently argued that privacy is the most important moat in crypto. At COTI, we agree, but we also believe privacy is essential for Web3 to mature to meet the needs of Institutions and Enterprise.

In our latest post, we break down why transparency alone falls short and how COTI’s programmable, selective privacy provides the much needed 'moat'.

Why Garbled Circuits over ZK proofs for on-chain privacy?
Bancor’s Project Lead Mark Richardson explains:
With ZK proofs, correctness is probabilistic, you must increase computation to increase certainty.
With Garbled Circuits, correctness is deterministic, giving full certainty every time.
