COTI Unveils Ambitious Plans for 2026 Following Strong Performance
COTI has announced its strategic initiatives for 2026, attributing its current success to a remarkable year. The company is focusing on enhancing privacy solutions while also entering the Real-World Assets (RWA) sector. Currently, users have the opportunity to earn substantial rewards in $COTI through its points-based incentive program. After a significant breakthrough, where COTI established itself as a key player in privacy infrastructure within Web3, it has shared its roadmap for 2026, aiming to lead in what industry leader a16z identifies as the crucial aspect of cryptocurrency: privacy. The rapid and efficient privacy solution has thrived, particularly as privacy emerged as a significant trend this year.
Key Developments and Ecosystem Growth
This year, COTI has been particularly active, launching its V2 mainnet and the enterprise-grade Garbled Circuits framework. The momentum among institutions surged, fueled by active partnerships with governmental bodies and international organizations. Concurrently, the ecosystem expanded dramatically, witnessing the introduction of over 80 new projects and major collaborations, which propelled DeFi activities to new heights. The liquidity and utilization soared, surpassing $250 million in daily perpetual volumes on PriveX. As the year approaches its conclusion, the privacy-focused innovator has outlined its ambitious vision for 2026, especially as experts suggest that privacy concerns will only grow in importance in the coming year.
COTI’s Strategic Vision for 2026
In its 2026 strategy, COTI plans to roll out its flagship initiative, multichain Privacy-on-Demand, which aims to extend its acclaimed Garbled Circuits infrastructure to other prominent blockchains. This initiative will empower decentralized applications (dApps) and developers to leverage COTI’s privacy stack across various blockchain networks. However, privacy is just one facet of COTI’s plans. The firm also intends to introduce the first privacy-focused RWAs on-chain, potentially positioning itself as a crucial gateway for traditional finance (TradFi) to access compliance-oriented privacy in a tokenized asset market expected to reach a staggering $30 trillion. Furthermore, COTI is forming strategic alliances to strengthen its share in the private DeFi and decentralized exchange (DEX) sectors, with aspirations to rank among the top three projects in private DeFi by transaction volume. Additionally, the Nodes V2 system will be scaled to include thousands of community-operated nodes, alongside an enhanced treasury and governance structure, and new community rewards initiatives aimed at mainstreaming privacy solutions.
COTI Launches Loyalty Campaign to Reward Users
In a related development, COTI has officially launched the COTI Earn loyalty platform, which will distribute a total of 12.5 million COTI tokens as rewards during the initial phase of the campaign, known as “Season 001: Genesis.” It is important to differentiate COTI Earn from the earlier treasury airdrop program that took place prior to the mainnet launch. According to Shahaf Bar-Geffen, the CEO of COTI, this initiative is intended to acknowledge genuine users and their contributions to the ecosystem.
Bar-Geffen emphasized that as on-chain activities grow, loyalty platforms must adapt to be transparent, equitable, and inherently rewarding, stating that those relying merely on superficial metrics will not endure over time. During the first season, users could accumulate Token Points (TPs) through various interactions such as trading, asset holding, and friend referrals, with TPs generated on-chain each day and automatically credited to users’ wallets. Additionally, rewards could be obtained from trading on PriveX or Carbon DeFi, joining social media platforms, and participating in quizzes, with the option to convert these points into $COTI at the campaign’s conclusion. The first season lasted for six weeks, concluding on November 11, 2025, followed immediately by the launch of the second season, called “Uprising,” which introduced new features and confirmed the transition. The second season offers 15 million $COTI in rewards, with recent updates highlighting increased bonuses (such as a 30% boost for holding Season 1 TPs) and high annual percentage yields (APYs) ranging from 50% to 90% for certain asset holdings.
