(COTI)

Yes, if you hold COTI V1 Native tokens in the legacy VIPER wallet, you must migrate them to COTI V2. This process can be completed by using the COTI Bridge or by depositing directly into Treasury V2. However, if your COTI tokens are already ERC-20 on Ethereum, no immediate action is typically needed. The existing ERC-20 contract is still valid, and these tokens can continue to be used or bridged to the V2 network whenever required for V2 functionalities. The VIPER wallet is being phased out, so moving to EVM-compatible wallets is advised.

COTI V2's core differentiator is its pioneering implementation of Garbled Circuits. Unlike many other Layer 2s that utilize Zero-Knowledge proofs, which can be computationally intensive and slower, Garbled Circuits provide "Privacy-on-Demand." This allows for the execution of private smart contracts directly on a public blockchain, ensuring confidentiality without sacrificing performance. The technology is lauded for being significantly faster and lighter, enabling high-throughput privacy for decentralized applications and positioning COTI V2 as a leading solution for programmable privacy on Ethereum.

"COTI Earn" operates by rewarding users with Token Points (TPs) for their engagement within the COTI ecosystem. Participants earn TPs on a daily basis by performing activities like holding assets, executing trades on the PriveX platform, or successfully completing various missions designed by the project. These earned TPs are minted securely on-chain, ensuring transparency and verifiable accumulation. At the end of each defined season, such as "Season 2: Uprising," users can redeem their accumulated Token Points for actual $COTI tokens, providing a direct incentive for active participation.

"Privacy-on-Demand" is COTI's strategic vision to make its robust privacy technology universally accessible across the blockchain landscape. It means that dApps and protocols built on other compatible blockchains, including prominent networks like Base or Arbitrum, can directly leverage COTI’s privacy infrastructure. By calling COTI’s specialized privacy stack, these external applications can conduct confidential transactions and execute private smart contracts, without needing to fully migrate to the COTI network. This initiative aims to establish COTI as a crucial privacy layer for the broader Web3 ecosystem, offering unparalleled data protection to a wider array of decentralized applications.

Private RWAs refer to COTI’s innovative approach to tokenizing Real-World Assets with an integrated layer of advanced privacy. The goal is to unlock the massive potential of the $30 trillion RWA market by providing institutions with the tools to participate compliantly and confidentially. By leveraging COTI V2’s privacy technology, assets such as real estate, bonds, or commodities can be tokenized and traded on-chain without revealing sensitive financial details, such as balance sheets or transaction specifics, to the public. This ensures that institutional investors can meet regulatory requirements while maintaining the privacy essential for their operations.

Despite market fluctuations that sometimes spark rumors, the COTI project is actively thriving. As of December 2025, the team unequivocally debunked any claims of it being "dead" through a comprehensive "Survival" update. This update reaffirmed their strong financial position, indicating years of operational runway, and showcased the sustained growth of their dedicated team, which now exceeds 80 professionals. Furthermore, the successful rollout of the V2 Mainnet in March 2025 stands as concrete proof of their ongoing development, strategic execution, and long-term commitment to evolving the privacy-focused Layer 2 ecosystem.
