Cipher DEX is from the future. #BetheDepth 🔜 Only on $COTI…for now

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.

The Confidential Brief Starting today with some breaking news. I have today been advised by the $COTI team that they do not wish to move forward with me as an ambassador for the project. This is effective from end of October. I have always served at the pleasure of @cotinetwork and, to be honest, for a lot longer than was originally intended. It is, of course, also the right of the new team to structure their community outreach as they see fit. I have massively enjoyed doing this, and my thanks goes out to ALL OF YOU - for all the love and support…and the odd bit of hate. I have made many friends along the way, and I truly appreciate all of you. The mission from day 1 was to promote the project, and being a helpful bridge between the $COTI team and the community. I believe that mission was accomplished. The technology still excites me far more than the price, and I can only hope that the new team takes this and does something useful with it. Privacy in web3 remains a key driver for adoption - along with better UI and stronger safety protocols. I have been inundated with DM’s these past few weeks from community members that are unsure where the project is going. I fully understand their concerns, and I do share some of them. That said - do not look for a single group or person to validate your sentiment. Go and do your research. If this leads you to a decision that ultimately turns out to be wrong - find comfort in the fact that investing is mostly about being more wrong than right. You “just” gotta make sure you cash in on the few occasions where you are right. Personally, I am constantly reviewing my $COTI position. I don’t have any issues with where they say they wanna go. But, I need to see more than just words. That means being patient - building these things is not done overnight. That’s really all I can offer on that front. I don’t have any super secret inside information - never did with the old team either. Finally, a huge bit of love and appreciation for my wingman, @whoistracer. We’ve been doing this together for 2 years, building the “Confidential” platform with TG group, regular podcasts, and these Briefs. He taught me the noble art of podcasting, amongst many other things. He’s also an amazing human being, and I’m glad to say - a friend for life. I will remain a member of the community, hopeful that this project might go somewhere. I also will not cry in the casino, in case it does not. Much ❤️ Soeren

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.

One thing is for sure…the next episodes of $COTI Confidential are going to be interesting…… Season 4 Coming Soon

Bitcoin made money digital. Zcash made money private. COTI makes all money private and programmable. Public chains are a glass box.

Build, trade, and transact privately. Privacy-on-demand tooling for every major chain, powered by and ran on COTI. Already live on Avalanche. More coming. ╰┈➤ COTI Privacy-on-Demand All your transactions executed privately on demand. Keep accounts and assets on the chain you already use. ╰┈➤ COTI Interphase The privacy layer for multi-chain settlement. Confidential, traceless transfers across 30+ major blockchains. Nothing linking sender to receiver, while still compliant. Powered by COTI garbled circuits, the fastest privacy technology in crypto. ╰┈➤ COTI Global Spend crypto in the real world, privately.

Private money, as the standard that powers all of crypto.

The “market maker” is one of the wallets that received the tokens in the sale. The “market maker” sold over $5m worth of tokens immediately on the open market wrecking the price . This can be verified on chain. He probably sold just enough to cover what they paid for the entire transaction. And now that they have no risk, he “sold” his tokens to the others. I’m not buying this story. I see a project that was bought, recouped their cash IMMEDIATELY and are now holding a lot of tokens that they will slowly sell to the market. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong in time but for now I’m not buying this….

Hey $COTI fam! Make sure to update your @CipherTradeApp to the latest version and benefit from the newest security hardening and patches.

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.

**1/2** 📋🔎 On recent $COTI on-chain coverage: some posts used framing that went beyond what the receipts alone establish. Large transfers, bridge-style mints, and market-maker or exchange routing are not, by themselves, evidence of misconduct. CipherTrade Bot will keep posts to verified amounts, addresses, and transaction links; avoid sensational wording; and reserve stronger language for activity that is clearly adverse or inconsistent with disclosed facts.
