Privacy in blockchains is a must—every Web3 expert agrees on that. However, some challenges remain. 🧵
The solutions provided so far, such as Oasis, Secret, and Nym, face a foundational problem: because they are Layer 1s (L1s) themselves, they lack liquidity. This prevents them from achieving widespread adoption, either for nodes or users.
On the other hand, solutions leveraging ZK proofs fail to handle encrypted multiparty computation, which makes their usage extremely limited.
By building a fast, cross-chain privacy solution based on the breakthrough of garbled circuits, COTI enables privacy at the multiparty level while also benefiting from the liquidity of major L1s.
If COTI's foundation team continues to deliver on this roadmap, the project is poised to become a leader in privacy-enabled applications—or better yet, in every application with real-life utility—within this trillion-dollar industry.
The trillion-dollar potential of Web3 lies in enabling people to transact, store value, and manage data without third-party control or interference.
But none of this matters without privacy.
Once you understand this, there’s no going back.

Web3 is important because it disrupts centralized control over your data and the money you generate online. It empowers you to freely transact and communicate without intermediaries dictating the terms.
However, there is a critical piece missing in this puzzle. While Web3 introduces transparency, this same transparency makes it possible for all your transactions to be traced back to you.
The need for privacy-preserving technologies in web3 is urgent. Protocols that safeguard users while ensuring transparency are essential for mass adoption and trust. 🌐
