We’re happy to present a new article series delving into the use cases of COTI V2's comprehensive confidentiality solution!
First up: How COTI V2 Revolutionizes Digital Identity Solutions. 👤

The evolution of Digital Identity has been gradual but steady. While KYC helped reduce fraud, it required businesses to be custodians of customer documents and for customers to undergo this process multiple times.

Even though ZK aims to solve this with DID (decentralized identity), it has limitations in terms of calculations and data sharing.
COTI V2 allows the evolution of DID to Dynamic DID and facilitates secure data sharing and calculations without compromising confidentiality. This enables dApps to interact with digital identities and query complex insights without accessing sensitive data.

Excitingly, we’ve already secured our first strategic partner for Dynamic DID!

The COTI V2 white paper is here!
Your guide to the fastest and lightest confidentiality L2 on Ethereum, this white paper describes the revolutionary breakthrough in blockchain encryption and our innovative implementation of decentralized sequencers.

COTI V2 introduces a novel approach that ensures high network performance without sacrificing user confidentiality by utilizing a unique combination of well-established privacy-preserving technologies, with the main ingredient being a Garbling Protocol.

We also present a novel concept to our L2 design: Decentralized Sequencers that help distinguish COTI V2 from other Layer 2 solutions reliant on centralized sequencing mechanisms.

Coming next: COTI’s Developer Network!
