COTI's ecosystem growth exploded with 80+ new projects and major partnerships, fueling rapidly rising DeFi activity. Liquidity and usage surged, hitting $250 million+ in daily perp volume on PriveX.
Multichain Privacy-on-Demand is top focus
For 2026, COTI's flagship initiative is multichain Privacy-on-Demand, extending their superior Garbled Circuits infrastructure to other leading blockchains and giving dApps and developers the ability to build using COTI’s privacy stack across multiple blockchains.
COTI will also pioneer private real-world assets (RWAs) through strategic infrastructure partnerships and bringing the first privacy-RWAs on-chain, aiming to unlock the $30 trillion+ tokenized asset market amid surging TradFi demand for compliance-grade privacy.
Additional strategic partnerships include furthering COTI’s lead in private DeFi and DEXes, with the aim of being a top three project in private DeFi by volume. COTI also plans to roll out its Nodes V2 system to scale to thousands of community-operated nodes, rolling out an enhanced Treasury and governance framework, and new community rewards initiatives. In 2026, COTI is set to take privacy mainstream.
