COTI at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026 COTI is extending its footprint across Europe, with a strong presence at NVIDIA GTC Berlin. CEO Robbie Vander met with infrastructure leaders, enterprises and financial institutions to explore what comes next for private computation, secure infrastructure and institutional finance onchain. COTI’s mission is to make private programmable money the global standard. Berlin brought that one step closer, opening new doors across the entire product suite, from Privacy-on-Demand to Interphase.

Introducing Interphase The Privacy Layer for All Money Interphase is the flagship app on the COTI protocol, and the first step in bringing private programmable money to everyday users. Its dedicated page is now live, setting out how it works and the roadmap ahead. > coti.io/interphase Interphase serves as the privacy layer for moving money between blockchains. It executes confidential, unlinked transfers across 30+ major networks. 1. The Problem On public blockchains, every transfer is traceable. Each bridge, swap and cross-chain payment leaves a public record of who sent what to whom, which allows anyone to follow the money from one wallet to the next. Interphase is built to break that link. 2. Built for Everyday Use Interphase is designed to make a private transfer as easy as a public one. Users keep full control of their funds throughout, and every transfer arrives clean, with no shared history. 3. The Roadmap Interphase is being developed in three phases. > coti.io/roadmap 1. Private Cross-Chain Payments (Q4 2026 to Q1 2027): private transfers on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and TRON, settled in under 60 seconds. 2. Business and Ecosystem Expansion (Q2 to Q3 2027): expansion to Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Sui and Aptos, with private travel booking and confidential payroll. 3. Scale and Global Commerce (Q4 2027 to Q1 2028): the Interphase SDK and a one-click merchant checkout, bringing private transfers to any Web3 website or app. 4. Closing Points Interphase is creating a private settlement layer for the multi-chain economy. It is the next joint frontier in the privacy and cross-chain markets, and an embodiment of private transfers tied with the reach of every major blockchain. It starts with Interphase. The full details are live now. coti.io/interphase

COTI Powers Privacy on Every Chain Avalanche was the first network to bring Coti's Privacy-on-Demand to production. Since September 16, applications on Avalanche have been computing on confidential data, and users have been shielding AVAX and USDC through the Privacy Portal. Expansion to further networks is a core part of our roadmap. > coti.io 1. The Privacy Requirement Institutions are bringing real assets on-chain. On a public chain, every position and payment is visible to anyone, competitors included. Confidentiality is necessary before that capital can scale. Until now, privacy meant leaving for a separate chain, and taking their capital with them. Privacy-on-Demand allows institutions to stay on yours. 2. Understanding COTI Privacy-on-Demand Privacy-on-Demand is creating a privacy layer for every chain. Shield, trade, and settle to pay, bid, and vote privately, without leaving the network. It is the next joint frontier in the privacy and institutional finance markets, and an embodiment of the confidentiality of finance tied with the liquidity of the chains people already use.

Introducing the COTI Memorandum The Case for Private Programmable Money Today, COTI publishes its memorandum, setting out the thesis behind COTI 2.0, and the plan to make private programmable money the global standard. > coti.io/memorandum 1. The Thesis COTI is the protocol for private programmable money. Privacy has been the defining sector of this cycle. It was the best performing sector of 2025 and has led the market through 2026. The greatest performing assets of the past year fit into this sector. Private programmable money is at the cross-section of public blockchains and private finance; it’s a culmination of the openness of the blockchain with the confidentiality money has always needed. 2. Understanding Private Programmable Money Private programmable money is a market economy in which participants hold, send and build with money on public blockchains, without exposing their balances or payments. Stablecoins are the clearest example of the opportunity. They brought the world’s most used currency on-chain, for anyone to hold and send. But almost every one of those dollars sits on a public ledger. Private programmable money is the defining point in bringing that market to the people, in a frame where their money stays theirs to see. 3. A Protocol for Private Money There have been a number of privacy products already, namely Zcash and Monero. Both have been built on their native chains. This thwarts what privacy can be used for, boosts the cost of building with it, and divides the privacy market across a dotted range of separate coins. COTI is addressing the privacy market’s biggest bottleneck and expense driver. Its Privacy-on-Demand SDK is usable by third parties to build privacy into apps on the chains they already run on, starting with Avalanche, with major blockchains to follow. 4. Taking the Lead with Interphase The flagship app on the COTI protocol is Interphase, and it’s designed to achieve a number of goals: (1) be a dominant privacy app from the get-go, (2) onramp a mass of retail users to private, compliant transfers across 30+ chains, and (3) build a massive network of wallets, DEXs, bridges, payment apps and marketplaces as integration partners. 5. Closing Points COTI is creating a private financial network for the stablecoin economy. It is the next joint frontier in the privacy and stablecoin market, and an embodiment of the confidentiality of banking tied with the openness of the blockchain.

We have been quietly observing everything that's happening around COTI, but never stopped building!!! Here's a quick update on where AgoraX is today — and where we’re going next. 🚀 We’ve been building the infrastructure for confidential, auction-based liquidity. Here’s what’s live today: - ⚡ NFT auction marketplace - ⛓️ COTI, Arbitrum, Avalanche & BNB support - 🔨 English, Dutch, Sealed-Bid, Commit-Reveal & Vickrey auctions - 🔐 Sealed-Bid auctions powered by COTI’s Garbled Circuits (GC) programmable privacy - 🛡️ KYC/AML screening - 💳 On-ramp funding for ARB, AVAX & BNB - 🔑 Social login + MetaMask support

COTI Ops Update Following the last update, the team and the market maker have engaged in constructive discussions and have reached an amicable resolution. 1. Resolution The team has acquired the market maker's full COTI position. Both parties accepted the terms, and the matter is now closed. 2. Reasoning A significant allocation sat with a party whose interests had diverged from the project's. Legal processes take months. COTI does not have months to spend on a distraction. Acquiring the position resolves the matter now, in full, and on the team's terms. 3. Team Alignment The team committed its own capital to the original purchase. That commitment is now substantially larger. Team ownership of COTI is at its highest since the handover, and its incentive is the same as the community's: the success of COTI. 4. Closing Points With the matter resolved, every hour goes to delivery. Q4 is about the product roadmap and expanding the utility of the COTI token. That's paramount.

The Confidential Brief I could have written a 200-page novel about the events of this past week. I’m obviously not going to do that, but instead focus most of my attention on the power of the $COTI community. When the new team came in there was a clear and confirmed offer: Keep mods, ambassadors and a few other Key people until the end of October/November. To assist in making the transition smooth. No extra cost. Offer was rejected. Instead the new team, who had clearly not made the advance effort to understand our community, decided to bring in their own. And not only that. In a jaw dropping display of contempt and arrogance, proceeded to “shame” one of our most loyal members with some fake salary numbers. The guy, predictably, got crucified. The new community-facing crew promptly introduced North-Korean conditions in the main TG chat because they were getting overwhelmed by questions and complaints that they didn’t have an answer to. Those controls are still in place, mind you. Why was that? A team largely undoxxed - The old COTI team was fully transparent - all moderators, ambassadors, CEO, CTO, CMO, etc were fully doxxed and visible to anyone wishing to see who’s behind the project. New team won’t even go on camera and have a proper engagement with the community. We have their first names, but don’t know who they are - no social footprint whatsoever. The team behind the team - no clue either. Sure, some details will never be known but there could have been an effort to be a bit more informative. We’re gonna find out anyway!!! Roadmap - rather than focus on what was right in front of them, namely PoD live on Avalanche, relatively straightforward to copy to other chains, ChainLink of privacy. An absolute slam dunk - plenty of positive sentiment to be leveraged, and a real chance to generate meaningful revenue. What we get instead is “yeah of course we will do that, but what we really want to do is consumer-facing app, travel, VPN, etc”. This could all be very good - I don’t know enough about it to claim otherwise - but given the massive excitement that PoD had generated online and in the community, this should have been the headline. Everything else to come later. It’s called low-hanging fruits and is what every new CEO looks for initially. Transparency - to this day we still don’t have full visibility on who controls main wallets and what the security is like. What we do now know is that somewhere between 500-800 million $COTI was sent to a consortium partner/market maker. We don’t (yet) know who this is, but rather that the commitment to provide liquidity was “misrepresented” and instead resulting in a sustained sell-off, much to the detriment of everyone involved (see chart below). Ecosystem care - it’s been less than 10 days and already we are facing issues with liquidity on @CarbonDeFixyz . Maybe, instead of making the transfer of more than half a billion COTI to a dodgy MM the top priority, make sure the COTI ecosystem is looked after first. These are basically the most asked questions by our community - and questions that the team has not adequately covered - not in the chat group and not in yesterday’s Q&A. And make no mistake about this - the community will not back down. We saw this most recently on the “58%” issue. @shahafbg had initially given (on camera) a less than satisfactory answer, but with significant pressure from the community and some internal discussions between community leaders and core team, a better approach was agreed to. Perfect? No. Better that what we had? Yes. Ignoring the community and instead going with “trust me, fam” has been an unmitigated disaster, but it could have been so much different. Reach out to the 10-15 most influential community members, have a call and broadly lay out plans and understand where the pain points are, and what is needed to get the community onboard. I will always support @COTInetwork , and for sure old COTI wasn’t always a dance on roses, but I’m having a really hard time reconciling with what’s been going on since this takeover. What’s the point of having a community, if you don’t make an attempt to understand and make good use of it? Now, instead of a buy-in, you have a community full of distrust and opposition. How much time will be spent rebuilding that? I haven’t sold out, nor will I at this stage. I’m just too curious, and will always believe in second-chances. @RobbieVdg will get this right. For those who did sell out - I totally understand you. This has shaken the project at its foundations. Onwards and Upwards Soeren
