Enterprise-grade blockchain platform Coti is set to transition protocol to become a scalable, privacy-focused layer-2 on Ethereum in 2024.<\/p>\n
An announcement shared with Cointelegraph outlines how Coti will shift from a standalone protocol to an Ethereum layer 2 to bring its privacy features to the broader ecosystem.\u00a0Coti v2\u2019s features a cryptographic approach called garbled circuits, which allows transactions to be processed without exposing sensitive information and data.<\/p>\n
Drawing from the field of multi-party computation (MPC), garbling protocols enable two or more parties to jointly compute a function while keeping both their inputs and intermediate variables private.<\/p>\n

The technology\u2019s primary advantage is preserving individual input privacy while allowing for multi-party computation.<\/p>\n Garbling protocols are useful in situations that require confidential data to be included in a computation without revealing the information itself.\u00a0Coti CEO Shahaf Bar-Geffen explains how the protocol prevents sensitive data from being broadcast to competitors, partners and clients transacting on its chain:<\/p>\n \u201cSensitive data transmitted as public information on a blockchain is a bug, not a feature. This isn\u2019t tolerated in legacy business systems, so why should it be tolerated on-chain?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bar-Geffen added that garbling protocols offer a unique approach in the context of Coti v2 by enabling transactions and smart contract executions where the details remain private between the involved parties:<\/p>\n \u201cThis level of privacy is particularly important in decentralized finance applications where transaction confidentiality can be as critical as transaction integrity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The CEO said that Coti will primarily focus on powering enterprise functions on a blockchain network in complete privacy. He claims that other platforms that focus on anonymity as a means to provide privacy tread the line in terms of regulatory oversight and are not necessarily effective at providing a compliant base for the wider ecosystem.<\/p>\n Related:<\/em><\/strong> Polygon 2.0: 2024 to see unified ZK-powered L2 chains<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Coti envisions its protocol catering to use cases requiring advanced privacy provisions in finance and healthcare. Its current protocol is aimed at enterprises and allows for managing blockchain-based products like custom-branded tokens, wallets, website integrations, and fiat on and off-ramps.<\/p>\n Coti v2 is scheduled for a developer net release in the second quarter of 2024. Coti currently provides digital infrastructure for Web3 applications at a layer-1 level. This includes tools for wallets, tokens and payment modules. Its current layer-1 protocol has $31 million in total value locked.<\/p>\n Magazine:<\/em><\/strong> Beyond crypto: Zero-knowledge proofs show potential from voting to finance<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Enterprise-grade blockchain platform Coti is set to transition protocol to become a scalable, privacy-focused layer-2 on Ethereum in 2024.
