How to buy COTI (COTI)

How to buy and use COTI (COTI) on its native network

COTI is a privacy-focused project launched in 2019. It is currently evolving toward a Layer-2 model that uses a decentralized sequencer to order transactions. This model is intended to reduce the risks associated with centralized sequencers, such as single points of failure or censorship.

What the native network does

COTI focuses on privacy and DeFi. It uses encryption schemes that are already common in secure systems used by banks and governments. This includes symmetric-key schemes like AES-CTR for encryption and asymmetric-key schemes like RSA for key distribution.

The project is moving toward a decentralized sequencer model. A sequencer orders transactions before they are finalized on the blockchain. By distributing this role among multiple participants, the network aims to improve redundancy and resistance to censorship.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

COTI exists on multiple networks. Users must verify the correct contract address before sending funds.

Verified contract addresses:

• Ethereum: 0xDDB3422497E61e13543BeA06989C0789117555c5
• BNB Smart Chain (BEP20): 0xadbaf88b39d37dc68775ed1541f1bf83a5a45feb

Users should use the official COTI explorer to check addresses and transactions.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

There is a current network migration. The V1 Treasury Sunset is approaching, and the foundation has instructed legacy holders to move to the upgraded chain. A "Treasury Pause" is associated with this upgrade.

Other risks include:

• Using lookalike contract addresses or the wrong network.
• Assuming all exchanges support the same withdrawal networks.
• Ignoring KYC requirements or country-specific availability.

Deposit and withdrawal support is not verified for the listed routes unless the exchange explicitly states it.
