As Seen On

COTI provides an end-to-end white label solution designed for use by:

Enterprises

Enterprises can explore new business models by offering payment networks to customers and absorbing market share from Visa, Mastercard and PayPal.

Decentralized payment networks

COTI provides a protocol optimized towards decentralized payment networks so companies can focus on key business aspects instead of infrastructure.

Stable coins

COTI supplies the infrastructure and needed features tailored for stable coins, including scalability, high speed and near zero fees.

Developers

COTI is the ideal solution for developers who require a high throughput protocol with DAG benefits.

Governments

Governments that adapt blockchain technology typically integrate stable coins into their efforts. COTI provides the required infrastructure needed for governments to provide stability and usability in their networks.

COTI addresses and takes into account a number of the key pain points that merchants and buyers alike have on a daily basis. COTI actually shifts the paradigm in a way that digital currencies now represent the future

COTI’s platform

COTI’s platform combines layers of infrastructure, services and applications to support payment applications, stable coins and enterprise solutions

At the core of COTI’s infrastructure lies the Trustchain, a proprietary consensus algorithm based on machine learning, which dramatically decreases transaction costs and increases processing speed by assigning trust scores to transactions and clustering it in chains.

The Trustchain lies on a multi-DAG (directed acyclic graph) data structure, which works in tandem to drive up scalability, processing over tens of thousands of transactions per second (TPS). DAG is the most suitable infrastructure for payments due to its scalability and low transaction costs.

Our technology stands to revolutionize crypto adoption by becoming the base layer upon which future decentralized solutions are built.

COTI’s DAG-based protocol combines infrastructure, services and application layers to create a holistic payments solution which is modular and fully customizable.

Trustchain key innovations

Proof of Trust (PoT)

The COTI PoT hashing algorithm consists of multiple hashing algorithms operating in chain fashion with the ordering dependent on the last 16 bytes of the hash of the previous block.

Trust Score consensus

COTI has developed a new approach to achieving consensus between transacting parties operating on a DAG-based data structure by using Trust Scores. The Cluster achieves scalability through its use of parallel source selection and transaction confirmations, as well as its use of COTI Trust Scores.

Arbitration Service

COTI offers a ready to use buyer-seller protection service. Users can chargeback a transaction in cases of fraud or any other dispute related to deals settled through the COTI payment system.

Double Spend Prevention (DSP) Nodes

Transactions require the signature of a Double Spend Prevention (DSP) Node before they can be considered fully confirmed, while any detected double-spending attempts are flagged and refused.

COTI's blockless data structure is based on a directed acyclic graph (DAG).

Innovating from blockchain technology, this improved protocol is highly scalable and centered around trust

Introducing the Trustchain Consensus Protocol

COTI’s unique consensus mechanism that utilises user Trust Scores to confirm transactions

COTI’s pragmatic approach to achieving scalability in a decentralized architecture without compromising security

As opposed to PoW, PoS and dPoS, COTI’s DAG-based distributed ledger is best suited for performance apps and extreme scalability.

Services

COTI-X is a currency exchange and gateway to the COTI network. It serves as an enabler of cross-currency support in fiat and cryptocurrencies while providing security, liquidity and price stability for tokens on the network.

Buyer-seller protections

COTI Pay is the first internally developed application on the COTI platform to utilize a fiat-pegged stablecoin, the COTI-DIME. It targets both e-commerce and POS payments and is equipped to initially process tens of thousands of TPS with virtually no price volatility.
COTI Pay also provides fully customized white label wallets for consumers and merchants.

Solution:
COTI Pay cuts out the middlemen, without the downfalls of Cryptocurrencies

CHALLENGE

Traditional payment systems cost consumers billions of dollars every year

High fees that can go all to way to 15% for merchants, leading to higher product costs for consumers
Declined transactions drive down merchant profits
Decreased merchant cash flow due to long settlement periods
Complicated multi-currency support, high spreads and exchange rates
Over two billion people around the world remain unbanked

Why have digital currencies failed as a payment means?

Scalability challenges
Volatile prices
Lack of buyer-seller protections
Complicated user experience
Absence of regulation

COTI PAY BRIDGES THE BEST OF TRADITIONAL PAYMENTS AND THE BEST OF DIGITAL CURRENCIES

COTI represents the next generation of digital currencies. This is a currency and a payment platform that is simple, transparent, trustworthy, instant and scalable. Using COTI is as easy as using a credit card, easy to accept and tracked. COTI represents the next generation of digital currencies. It brings the current standards of the financial services industry into the digital sphere.
