Major Partner Reveal as MyEtherWallet (MEW), AnChain.AI and Others Join New Era of Fast, Scalable Blockchain Privacy</h3>TL;DR1. COTI Testnet is now live with Garbled Circuits and MPC capabilities. 2. Launch partners MyEtherWallet (MEW) and AnChain.ai, among others, to join COTI ecosystem. 3. <a href="https://medium.com/cotinetwork/coti-2-leading-the-way-in-privacy-preserving-blockchain-solutions-benchmark-study-7dac5fe18a08" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Benchmarking study</a> reveals COTI GC technology runs faster and lighter than other privacy solutions available. 4. New developer tools include Testnet explorer, faucet, and SDK support. 5. Affordable, scalable privacy opens the door to innovation across DeFi, AI, Compliance, Identity, DePIN and more.We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the COTI Testnet, signalling a major milestone for affordable and scalable privacy solutions in Web3. Our launch coincides with the reveal of a sizable cohort of launch partners, including MyEtherWallet (MEW), AI-powered cybersecurity firm AnChain, and more. The new partner cohort will join companies such as Civic, Xctuality and PriveX that are already exploring COTI’s privacy Layer 2.These partnerships underscore the recognition of privacy as a critical component in the evolution of blockchain technology across a broad swathe of sectors including DeFi, AI, RWAs, gaming, and more.Our journey to this point has been nothing short of exhilarating. Just four months ago, we launched the COTI Developer Network (DevNet), which marked the first time developers could experiment with the groundbreaking Garbled Circuits technology — developed in collaboration with Soda Labs — for use on the blockchain. Since then the response has been astounding, with projects and developers from a wide range of sectors across Web3 joining our builders community.<h2 id="header-0">Introducing The COTI Testnet</h2>COTI’s Testnet is now live, opening up a world of new possibilities for privacy-preserving blockchain applications. There’s never been a more exciting time to get involved! Our privacy-preserving Layer 2 offers groundbreaking features that set the stage for a new era of blockchain privacy — though it maintains a familiar and robust environment for developers wishing to test and building privacy-focused applications.Let’s take a closer look at the key innovation powering our Testnet.<h2 id="header-1">COTI’s Garbled Circuits</h2>At the core of COTI’s privacy-preserving technology is a new implementation of Garbled Circuits (GC) that allows for secure multi-party computation (MPC), enabling parties to jointly compute functions over their private inputs without revealing those inputs to each other. This technology forms the backbone of COTI’s ability to process confidential transactions at scale.<h2 id="header-2">Benchmarking Shows COTI Runs Faster and Lighter</h2>Earlier today we revealed our first <a href="https://medium.com/cotinetwork/coti-2-leading-the-way-in-privacy-preserving-blockchain-solutions-benchmark-study-7dac5fe18a08" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">benchmarking study</a> to substantiate our claims that COTI runs faster and lighter than existing privacy solutions. Other similar privacy solutions that offer MPC have struggled to gain widespread adoption due to large computation load and cost. Our study compares the performance of Garbled Circuits (GC) to the key privacy protocol known as Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) with positive results.COTI is more performant by a clear margin, in fact it’s faster than we thought, 1800–3000 times faster! COTI is setting new standards for blazingly fast confidential computation. By providing affordable and scalable privacy, we’re opening up possibilities for applications previously deemed impractical due to performance constraints.<h2 id="header-3">Tools to Supercharge Your Development on COTI Testnet</h2>At COTI, we believe that great technology is only as good as the tools available to harness it.We’ve ensured seamless integration with your favorite Ethereum tools and infrastructure.
