Besides building a unique and strong technology, the COTI team has also been focused on developing core components of our ecosystem, forging partnerships and refining the onboarding experience for newcomers to our network. We are pleased to present this detailed update on the latest developments in the COTI ecosystem.

New Partnership — Dojima!

We’ve signed a partnership with Dojima Network to expand our confidentiality products across their multi-chain ecosystem.

Dojima Network is an omnichain Layer 1 — A platform that integrates various Web3 ecosystems onto a single, unified layer. They also utilize an extremely lightweight encryption technology that can be leveraged for fast, secure and low cost transactions with reduced computational demands.

This integration will be facilitated through a user-friendly dashboard, making it easier for developers to access and deploy privacy-enhanced decentralized applications (dApps) across various interoperable networks. Together, COTI and Dojima Network are committed to setting new industry standards in privacy and interoperability, driving the next wave of innovation in Web 3.

Dojima are but one of many potential partners we are in ongoing discussion with.

COTI V2 Builders Program

The COTI V2 Builders program has welcomed a host of new developers into the COTI ecosystem since the Developer Network was launched on May 20. We’re currently in discussion with a number of potential partners to build specific tools and enable privacy across various dApps. Here are some of the numbers:

We’re in discussion with 52 different projects in various stages of pipeline development.
14 different development categories have been identified
Between 10–20% of these projects are expected to move into the next stage of development
Several formal grant requests have been received. These requests are in various stages of review.

Once these discussions have progressed, we’ll be able to share more details!

COTI V2 Creators Program

Similar to the Builders Program, we’ve also experienced interest from creatives and community members in the COTI V2 Creators Program. We received very interesting submissions for creating videos, articles, and infographics, and we are reviewing everything. All applicants will receive an email with instructions on how to proceed. For those seeking specific ideas to submit, here are a couple on our wishlist:

COTIConnect

The first ever COTIConnect Space on X was hosted by members of the COTI Team and COTI’s well known community member, Whoistracer, on June 18th. In this discussion, members of the COTI team including Shahaf-Bar-Geffen and Joshua Maddox sat down with Itai Elizur, a partner at Market Across and CIVIC’s VP of Engineering, Daniel Kelleher. The panel discussed privacy and confidentiality challenges in Web3. If you missed this epic chat, you can catch up on the recording here.
