Dear COTI community,

As you may know, Binance is sunsetting their BEP2 chain: https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/2024-05-15-binance-to-gradually-cease-support-for-bnb-beacon-chain-bep2-deposits-encourages-users-to-migrate-assets-to-bnb-smart-chain-bsc-8125597040081

If you hold any $COTI BEP2 ($COTI on BEP2 chain), please reach out to our admins (support@coti.io) to process a swap to $COTI on other chains.
Binance will be swapping all $COTI BEP2 under Binance's custody with $COTI ERC20 by returning these tokens to the deployer contract and receiving minted $COTI ERC20. The $COTI BEP2 tokens will be burned shortly after.

Again, if you hold $COTI BEP2 tokens, please reach out.
Thank you

Quantum computing threatens blockchain's cryptographic foundations

COTI V2 counters the quantum threat with Garbled Circuits. This enables quantum-resistant, private computation without revealing data - even shared states stay confidential.

How are we making COTI V2 quantum-resistant?
1. We’re doubling symmetric encryption key lengths (128-bit to 256-bit).
2. We’re Implementing post-quantum secure asymmetric encryption for key distribution.
3. We’re using Garbled Circuits for secure multi-party computation.

Our solution enhances blockchain technology with advanced confidential data management and privacy preservation, addressing both current and future security concerns.

We aim for full quantum resistance by next year!
