COTI_Official

TL;DR COTI has announced COTI Nightfall — a major upgrade to our enterprise privacy ecosystem. In this FAQ, we answer the community’s top questions about Nightfall, COTI’s expanding privacy stack, and what it means for the COTI token. What is Nightfall?

Nightfall is an open-source zero-knowledge privacy layer originally built by Ernst & Young (EY) in 2019 and released to the public domain. Since then, it has undergone significant upgrades — including a 2025 transition to a full Zero-Knowledge (ZK) roll-up architecture that delivers near-instant finality and improved performance. EY continues to actively support the evolution of the protocol.

Who is EY (Ernst & Young)?

EY is one of the Big Four professional services firms (alongside Deloitte, PwC, and KPMG). Operating as a global network under Ernst & Young Global Limited, EY serves enterprise clients across nearly every major industry — with services spanning assurance, consulting, tax, strategy, and transactions in more than 150 countries. EY’s notable client list includes Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet & many more.

What is COTI Nightfall?

COTI Nightfall is an Ethereum-based Zero-Knowledge (ZK) roll-up and privacy layer that we’re integrating into the COTI privacy ecosystem. It enables confidential transactions on Ethereum and Ethereum-compatible networks while preserving the transparency, immutability, and security that enterprises require.

What can COTI Nightfall do?

Key capabilities include:

Private transfers across multiple token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-3525)

Efficient ZK roll-ups with near-instant finality

Decentralized permissioning and KYC-gating for regulated environments

Confidential smart contracts with end-to-end encryption

Selective disclosure and multichain composability

What is the purpose of COTI Nightfall?

COTI Nightfall gives us an additional ZK-based privacy stack and a new path to onboard enterprises into the COTI ecosystem — complete with built-in compliance and institutional workflows. In short: we’re doubling down on enterprise adoption by offering another proven technology path alongside Garbled Circuits.

When does COTI Nightfall launch?

COTI Nightfall is scheduled to launch on testnet in the near future, with mainnet deployment planned for later in 2026.

Why is COTI launching a ZK solution alongside Garbled Circuits?

COTI is evolving into the All-in-One Privacy Protocol. To meet that goal, we’re introducing an enterprise-grade ZK solution alongside our high-performance Garbled Circuits — so that any enterprise or builder, regardless of their preferred privacy approach, can build on COTI.

What does ‘All-in-One Privacy Protocol’ mean?

COTI is evolving from a single-chain privacy solution into a multi-chain privacy protocol. This includes COTI GC on our native network for fast, scalable confidential computation; Privacy-on-Demand to bring GC to other leading blockchains; and the newly introduced COTI Nightfall ZK for enterprise-grade compliance workflows. Together, these offer every enterprise, builder, and user a fully customizable privacy solution.

What is Privacy-on-Demand?

This year, COTI is bringing Garbled Circuits to leading L1 and L2 chains via Privacy-on-Demand. This opens the door for thousands of apps and dApps on other chains to leverage COTI’s GC for private computation and transactions — all powered by the COTI token.

Will COTI still be focused on Garbled Circuits and Privacy-on-Demand?

Absolutely. COTI remains focused on scaling projects and builders on our GC-powered mainnet. We’re also bringing GC-powered privacy to several leading blockchains this year, starting with Ethereum.

How does the multi-chain expansion affect the COTI token?

COTI is expanding to power privacy across multiple chains. When users bridge COTI tokens to a new chain, the tokens transfer 1:1. More chains means more utility, more demand and more fee revenue — without any dilution.

Does Nightfall introduce a new token?

No. COTI Nightfall will be powered by the native COTI token.

Are new COTI tokens being created?

No. The maximum supply cap remains fixed. No new tokens are being minted.

How will the COTI token work across multiple chains?

Both COTI GC-mainnet and COTI Nightfall are powered by a single COTI token. Fees, staking, governance, and privacy services on Nightfall will all use the COTI token — the same as on our native network.

How will COTI Nightfall expand token utility?

By driving more enterprise adoption and expanding use cases — which in turn drives more fees, privacy services, staking, burns, and governance activity, all without supply dilution.

Whether a builder chooses COTI GC or COTI Nightfall ZK, value flows back to the same ecosystem and the same token.

Read our Tokenomics Upgrade for more details.

As a token holder, do I need to do anything?

No action is required. COTI remains the same token.

What’s next for COTI?

COTI will continue expanding our ecosystem — including onboarding and partnering with leading global enterprises to bring privacy to the forefront of blockchain.

Stay COTI. 🚀

Meet COTI Nightfall

Today, COTI announces the launch of COTI Nightfall — an Ethereum Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Roll-up joining the COTI ecosystem. This milestone is a bold step forward in our mission to become the all-in-one privacy protocol, delivering purpose-fit privacy solutions for enterprises, institutions, and builders.

Here is everything you need to know 👇

EY & The Origins of Nightfall

Nightfall is an open-source zero-knowledge privacy protocol originally built by Ernst & Young (EY) in 2019 and released to the public domain. It has evolved through significant upgrades — including a 2025 transition to a full ZK Roll-up architecture that delivers near-instant finality and improved performance.

Operating as a global network under Ernst & Young Global Limited, EY serves enterprise clients across nearly every major industry — with services spanning assurance, consulting, tax, strategy, and transactions in more than 150 countries.

What is Nightfall?

Nightfall enables confidential transactions on Ethereum and Ethereum-compatible networks while preserving the transparency, immutability, and security that enterprises require.

Its latest iteration, Nightfall 4, leverages ZK technology to support private transfers across multiple token standards, including ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-3525, bundled into efficient ZK Roll-ups. It also features decentralized permissioning and KYC-gating capabilities designed for regulated and compliance environments.

The protocol has come a long way since 2019. With six years of iteration and improvements, it’s now coming to COTI.

A Dual-Mainnet Privacy Stack

COTI Nightfall is a purpose-built ZK solution for enterprises launching alongside COTI’s existing high-performance Garbled Circuits (GC) mainnet. We’re not replacing anything, we’re adding serious firepower to our privacy ecosystem.

The result: a dual-mainnet privacy stack. GC for fast, low-cost, scalable applications. Nightfall ZK for enterprise-grade compliance and institutional workflows. Two proven technologies, one ecosystem.

The right privacy primitive for the right use case.

COTI GC Mainnet

The fastest, lightest, and most cost-effective privacy chain in Web3

Up to 3,000x faster and 250x lighter than alternatives

Built for DeFi, payments, identity, AI, and builder-led applications

COTI Nightfall ZK

Enterprise-grade, compliance-ready privacy for institutional workflows

Built-in KYC/AML gating and decentralized permissioning

Built for tokenized RWAs, private DeFi, regulated payments, and institutional asset classes

Together, these offer every enterprise, builder, and user a fully customizable privacy solution.

One Token. Two Blockchains.

The COTI token will be native to both the existing GC-mainnet and the COTI Nightfall ZK mainnet. Both chains are powered by a single COTI token, ensuring unified utility across fees, staking, governance, and privacy services, without supply dilution.

The token will be bridged 1:1 across chains. The maximum supply cap remains fixed, and no new tokens will be minted.

What does change is utility. Protocol fees, staking, gas, and governance now flow across two networks instead of one. Whether a builder chooses COTI GC or COTI Nightfall ZK, value flows back to the same ecosystem and the same token.

More networks. More utility. More demand.

What COTI Nightfall Enables

COTI Nightfall opens up a new class of enterprise use cases and partnerships that demand compliance-ready privacy infrastructure:

Confidential smart contracts with end-to-end encryption

Selective disclosure for regulatory compliance

Multichain composability across Ethereum-compatible networks

Private transfers of ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and ERC-3525 token standards

Decentralized permissioning and KYC-gating for regulated environments

The timing matters. Demand for compliant privacy infrastructure is accelerating across tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), private DeFi, and regulated payments. COTI intends to capture that demand by being the all-in-one privacy protocol.

The All-in-One Privacy Protocol

COTI is evolving from a single-chain privacy solution into something much bigger — a multi-chain privacy protocol with three distinct paths:

COTI GC: Our native network for fast, scalable confidential computation for enterprises, builders, agents and users.

Privacy-on-Demand: Deploying Garbled Circuits powered-privacy to leading L1 and L2 chains, starting with Ethereum.

COTI Nightfall ZK: For enterprises who need institutional-grade compliance and institutional workflows, and

For every enterprise, every builder, every use case, there’s now a privacy path on COTI that fits. With Privacy-on-Demand we will open the door for thousands of apps and dApps on other chains to leverage COTI’s GC for private computation and transactions, all powered by the COTI token.

COTI remains fully committed to scaling enterprises, projects and builders on our GC-powered mainnet. COTI Nightfall expands the mission, and we’re committed to making COTI the full-suite privacy solution.

What the Leaders Are Saying

TL;DR

→ COTI introduces a comprehensive tokenomics update designed to strengthen long-term value for the ecosystem and holders. → COTI will remain the single unified asset of the ecosystem, while updating how value is created, captured, and returned to holders. → Maximum supply stays fixed. No new tokens are minted. → Multi-chain expansion under the same fixed supply. → Revenue-driven burn mechanisms tied directly to real usage. → A new permissionless node economy with transparent rewards. → Commitment to burn at least 100M COTI tokens within 12 months.

Introduction

Today, we’re excited to unveil an upgrade to our COTI tokenomics, intended to strengthen the value of the token, reduce supply and introduce a new model in preparation for our upcoming ecosystem growth. The real-world value and the critical importance of privacy has never been stronger. Privacy is non-negotiable for the world’s finance, enterprises, and commerce to move on-chain. The trend toward privacy has gone mainstream. To meet the fast-growing demand for privacy, we’re upgrading our ecosystem and the COTI token — to power our All-in-One Privacy Layer. In the coming months, we’ll debut our plans to scale into new chains, services, and partnerships, and today we’re revealing the tokenomics’ improvements designed to scale with it.

We’re upgrading how value is generated, distributed and returned to the token and its holders. Now, real network usage is directly tied to deflation. New protocol revenues from privacy computations and cross-chain services will be burned, permanently reducing supply as adoption grows.

Here’s everything you need to know 👇

One Token. Multiple Chains. Same Supply.

COTI is evolving from a single-chain privacy solution into the World’s leading All-in-One privacy protocol and infrastructure provider. You can think of COTI as a swiss-army knife for privacy, providing every enterprise, builder and user the ideal privacy solution to meet their needs.

What this Means: In coming weeks, COTI will introduce an additional privacy blockchain on testnet, designed and supported by a leading institutional partner, so enterprises and builders can have the option to build using Garbled Circuits alongside other leading privacy technology.

Multi-Chain Privacy: in 2026 COTI will bring its innovative Garbled Circuits to leading L1 and L2 chains via Privacy on Demand. This will open the floodgates to thousands of apps and dapps on other chains to gain access to COTI’s GC for private computation and transactions.

Single Unified Token: The COTI token is also expanding, and will power our entire privacy network, compute and transactions, across multiple chains and a wide-range of use cases. COTI will maintain the same maximum supply cap across ecosystems, with the mission of creating the world’s largest privacy network.

All-in-One Privacy Ecosystem: Revenue & Fees

The future of privacy scalability is fully-composable and programmable privacy across blockchains, protocols, and the fast-changing tech and AI landscape.

COTI’s All-in-One privacy infrastructure will roll out across multiple chains and ecosystems, powered by a new usage-based pricing model. Transactions fees for private computation and transaction processing will create real, sustainable revenue, all paid in COTI.

How COTI Privacy Fees Work

Transaction Fees Every private transaction in our privacy network requires a gas, which is higher than the non-private transaction’s gas. More complex operations, like confidential smart contracts, incur higher gas costs, all paid in COTI token and accrued in the community-controlled wallet.

Privacy bridge and Cross-Chain Privacy-on-Demand Fees

Using the Privacy Bridge and initiating private cross-chain transfers each will carry their own fee in COTI tokens, adding a new revenue layer to the chain.

Comprehensive Burn Mechanisms

COTI is introducing multiple, layered burn mechanisms that permanently reduce circulating supply as the network grows. The greater the adoption and utilization of COTI and our privacy tech, the reduced supply of total tokens.

Fee-Based Burns

100% of all COTI V2 gas fees, including from private transactions, are collected in a community controlled wallet

50% of all privacy bridge transactions and privacy-on-demand fees burned, while the rest will be used by the foundation to grow the privacy ecosystem and reward adoption from other chains.

Governance Burns

The community treasury can vote to burn accumulated gas fees, as described in the whitepaper.

Annual burn proposals by the COTI Foundation like the one below

100M Commitment: We are committed to a minimum burn of 100M COTI tokens within the first 12 months (approx. 3% from the total supply), including tokens derived from gas fees accumulated in the community-controlled wallet. All burns will be transparent, verifiable, and tracked through public burn addresses.

Adaptive Staking Rewards

Upon the launch of Treasury v2, COTI will introduce a self-balancing staking model. The model adjusts APY based on participation, to attract participants, while automatically managing reward distribution and dilution.

How it works: At the target participation rate of 15% of circulating supply staked, the APY sits at a fixed ratio, say 10%. If participation drops, APY rises to attract more stakers. If participation surges, APY cools naturally.

This creates a stable equilibrium without manual intervention, and total staking rewards are capped at 50% of the community allocation per rewards epoch, providing a hard budget ceiling on reward distribution.

What This Means for COTI Holders

The COTI Tokenomics update feeds into a single flywheel:

More chains = more utility, more fee revenue and no new supply.

More usage = more fees, more burns, less circulating supply.

More participation = stronger node economy, more staking, more supply locked.

More burns = permanent, compounding supply reduction.

With our new tokenomics upgrade, we’re ensuring that as the COTI privacy ecosystem scales and grows across chains, enterprises, and applications, supply shrinks. The model rewards holders, participants, and builders, without changing the core structure of the token.

Tokenomics Transparency

Every burn, every fee allocation, and every reward distribution will be verifiable on-chain. This includes annual burn reports, and public burn addresses that are provably unspendable. We’re building a system where trust is backed by data, not promises.

Looking Forward

COTI is evolving into an All-in-One privacy infrastructure across multiple chains and ecosystems. Creating a thriving global network that can meet the privacy demands for every enterprise, builder, use case, and user.

The COTI team is committed to building a model that rewards our loyal community members, while fostering a vibrant ecosystem of innovation. This tokenomics update ensures that as the network scales, value flows directly back to the ecosystem and its holders. More utility. Real revenues. Stronger incentives. Reduced supply. A clear deflationary path. Built on real value.

Stay COTI.

Celebrating One-Year of COTI V2 Mainnet

Exactly one year ago today, on March 26, 2025, COTI V2 Mainnet went live. Twelve months later, the ecosystem has grown beyond what we could have imagined. Here’s a look back at what we’ve built with our amazing community and partners.

The COTI V2 Mainnet launch was the culmination of over two years of research and development. A new cryptographic approach to blockchain privacy, and the world’s first Garbled Circuits technology to go live into production.

Today, we’re celebrating the past year’s milestones, and everything that’s happened since. The partnerships, the builders, the on-chain activity, and the live deployments across a wide-range of industries. Including, DeFi, healthcare, real-world assets, and more.

This is the story of Year One. And it’s only the beginning.

Privacy Became the Narrative

When we launched, privacy was still an emerging narrative. The thesis behind COTI was straightforward:

Institutions wouldn’t move trillions on-chain without confidentiality.

Enterprises wouldn’t build on transparent ledgers without data protection and meeting compliance standards.

For blockchain and crypto to be the global standard, privacy was a non-negotiable requirement.

By the end of 2025, the world agreed. a16z called privacy, “The most important moat in crypto.”

Vitalik Buterin publicly highlighted Garbled Circuits as a faster, more practical approach to multi-party computation. Regulators began signaling that compliant privacy would be essential for institutional adoption.

The shift happened, and COTI’s mainnet was already live and in production.

Setting the Privacy Standard

Within months, COTI joined the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA), the Tokenized Asset Coalition (TAC), the DeCC Alliance, and became a founding member of the Saudi Arabia AI and Blockchain Centre (SAAIBC). We were featured in Messari’s DeCC Ecosystem Report, and received a standout security audit from Hacken.

In early 2026, we became an inaugural member of the EEA Privacy Working Group, alongside the Ethereum Foundation, Consensys (Linea), EY (Nightfall), Polygon, ZKsync, and others to shape enterprise privacy standards for Ethereum and Layer 2s.

We’re grateful to be part of this effort and to contribute alongside some of the most respected teams in the ecosystem.

One Year by the Numbers

Here’s a look at what the past twelve months have looked like on-chain and across the ecosystem.

110M+ total transactions on COTI Network

Onchain transactions nearly 2x the total of 2025

80+ ecosystem partners across DeFi, RWAs, AI, Enterprise, and more

100,000+ users on COTI Earn

World’s 1st private RWA live on COTI Testnet

All live, in-production, on-chain activity. Powered by COTI GC.

What We Built: Privacy in Production

Numbers tell part of the story. Here’s a closer look at some of the use cases and integrations that went live on COTI this year.

Powering Private DeFi

PriveX, the first perpetual DEX on COTI, grew rapidly over the past year. Powered by intent-based execution, AI trading agents, and the COTI network. PriveX has processed over $20 billion in total trading volume while helping protect trader strategies from front-running and MEV extraction.

Bancor’s Carbon DeFi integrated COTI, and GC went live on Bancor’s Arb Fast Lane. COTI GC is powering 60,000 daily on-chain monitoring transactions, encrypting sensitive arbitrage execution inputs at the protocol level.

The DeFi stack also continued to grow with Accumulated Finance launching Minter Flash Loans on COTI, alongside VeilDEX and Houdini Swap.

Healthcare Supply Chains

StaTwig’s VaccineLedger, a UN-recognized Digital Public Good, integrated COTI’s Garbled Circuits into its cold chain monitoring system. Over 10 million private on-chain transactions processed real vaccine sensor data in Bangladesh’s national immunization program. Zero sensitive data exposed with a total cost of under $5 in COTI tokens.

This is a live government health program, validated by public health officials.

Institutional RWA Tokenization

Zoniqx, the world’s first AI-native operating system for tokenized real-world assets, has deployed a privacy-enabled RWA on testnet, powered by COTI’s Garbled Circuits. This is the beginning of on-boarding our work together to tokenize RWAs with embedded programmable privacy. Creating a compliant on-ramp for privacy-enabled real-world assets on-chain.

Hardware Wallets and Consumer Privacy

United Network became the first hardware wallet provider to integrate COTI’s privacy layer. On-chain confidentiality combined with physical card-based self-custody. Private keys stored locally, confidential transactions with a card tap.

Digital Rights Management

COTI partnered with Xctuality to launch a privacy-first DRM engine for digital textbooks, giving publishers and students NFT-based ownership with encrypted, traceable access on-chain. A use case with potential far beyond education.

Stablecoins: The Road to Private DJED

COTI announced a collaboration with Artifi Labs to support the long-term development of DJED, the overcollateralized stablecoin. The partnership accelerates the roadmap toward Private DJED, a multi-chain private stablecoin.

Builders Shipping Privacy On-Chain

One of the highlights of Year One: opening the door for individual builders to create and ship private products on-chain. That’s the promise of programmable privacy. Not just infrastructure for enterprises, but tools that anyone can use to build real privacy-powered apps and technology.

Through COTI’s Vibe Code Challenges, community members built and launched privacy-powered games, apps, and on-chain experiences, many with no prior coding experience. The result: a growing library of community-built products, all running on COTI.

The Infrastructure Behind It All

None of this happens without infrastructure that performs. Over the past year, COTI shipped major upgrades to keep pace with the growing ecosystem.

Helium Mainnet Upgrade: Native 128-bit and 256-bit arithmetic, improved MPC performance, and new developer trace/debug tooling for private computation.

Cross-Chain Liquidity: ChainPort integration brought ADA and USDT from 9+ major chains. Hyperlane powers USDC, wETH, and wBTC bridging.

Midnight Network’s NIGHT token went live on COTI.

Exchange Listings: COTI V2 supported on Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin, MEXC, Gate.io, Bitrue, and CEFFU for institutional custody.

MetaMask Privacy Snap: Encrypted balances and private token management on the most widely used Web3 wallet.

COTI Earn: Three seasons of rewards across COTI, USDC, USDT, wETH, wBTC, and wADA. Over 100,000 users and growing.

Privacy Goes Global

Year One wasn’t just about technology. It was about showing up around the world, building relationships with the institutions that will define the next era of blockchain.

United States: NYC Mayor’s Digital Asset Summit, State Street engagement

Hong Kong: RWA Luncheon during Consensus HK, co-hosting The Table with RWA.FYI

Central Banks and Government: Pioneer Partner for the ECB Digital Euro Design Challenge, member of the Tokenized Asset Coalition, and partner with the Bank of Israel for the Digital Shekel Design.

Built by the Community, Celebrated by the Community

None of this happens without you.

The launch of Stay COTI and the Yaru open build programs created a new generation of vibe code builders, people using AI tools to build privacy-powered apps, games, and products on COTI with no prior coding experience required. Yaru Create expanded into Southeast Asia, bringing new builders into the fold from Laos and Cambodia.

Builder meetups and hackathons ran across Argentina, Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore, and Cambodia. The Vibe Code Challenge invited anyone to build a privacy app in 30 days with real prizes and support to launch on-chain.

This is the future of building in Web3: fast, accessible, and open to everyone.

Happy Birthday, COTI V2

One year ago, we launched a mainnet. Today, that infrastructure is live and powering real applications for users, builders, and institutions around the world.

To every builder, holder, partner, and community member who made this year possible: thank you. This is your celebration too.

2025 was the year COTI went live. 2026 is the year we take privacy mainstream.

We’re just getting started.

Stay COTI.
