COTI Cracks the Millionaires' Problem on Ethereum Testnet With Garbled Circuits
COTI solved Yao's ‘Millionaires Problem' on Ethereum's Sepolia testnet using Garbled Circuits with no trusted intermediaries. The solution was developed with Soda Labs, is live on mainnet, and is compatible with the EVM environment and Solidity. Vitalik Buterin had publicly identified Garbled Circuits as the path toward purely cryptographic guarantees in multiparty computation.
COTI Introduces Private ERC20, Bringing Privacy‑Enhanced Tokens to the ERC20 Standard
COTI launched Private ERC20, an ERC20-compatible token standard that encrypts balances, transfers and approvals at the protocol level. It uses Garbled Circuits and an MPC precompiler to ensure only the token holder can decrypt their own balance. The standard was audited by Sayfer and is already available on the COTI network.
