COTI’s Layer 2 testnet debuts with ecosystem support
COTI is known for its efforts to bring privacy solutions to blockchain and they have launched its Layer 2 (L2) testnet with a range of ecosystem partners, including notable names like MyEtherWallet (MEW) and blockchain security firm AnChain. This marks a major step toward providing scalable, affordable privacy options for web3 developers, enabling a broad set of blockchain sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi), artificial intelligence (AI), security and compliance, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
COTI’s privacy solution, powered by its unique Garbled Circuits technology, facilitates the secure computation of private inputs without revealing sensitive data. This breakthrough has caught the attention of key players in the blockchain space, further evidenced by the diverse partners backing the testnet launch.
Tools for developers
The launch opens doors for developers to experiment with COTI’s Layer 2 network, which offers a testnet explorer, SDK support, and access to a testnet faucet. These tools are designed to simplify the integration of COTI’s privacy features into decentralized applications, making it easier for projects to test confidential transactions at scale.
“The response to our testnet launch has been astounding, with projects and developers from various sectors across web3 joining our community to build a private blockchain future.”—COTI CEO Shahaf Bar-Geffen
Pioneering new encryption for blockchain
COTI's Garbled Circuits technology positions the network as a faster, more lightweight alternative to existing privacy solutions, unlocking potential applications in confidential DeFi, quantum-resistant privacy, and secure data sovereignty. This allows blockchain-based applications that previously faced cost barriers to now incorporate confidential transactions and data protection seamlessly.
“We are excited to work together to provide COTI with open-source, privacy-centric products.”—Kosala Hemachandra, CEO of MyEtherWallet
The bottom line
COTI’s L2 testnet launch sets the stage for a new era of blockchain privacy solutions. With support from MyEtherWallet, AnChain, and other ecosystem partners, COTI will enable scalable, confidential transactions for a wide range of decentralized applications, potentially transforming sectors like DeFi and NFTs with its innovative Garbled Circuits technology.
