COTI going after privacy-enabled tokenized RWAs as institutions pile in

Been seeing more noise around RWAs lately, and COTI just dropped an interesting update.

They’re positioning themselves as a privacy layer for tokenized real-world assets, specifically aimed at institutional use. The idea is that TradFi players want RWAs on-chain, but they don’t want everything fully transparent. Privacy and compliance seems to be the missing pieces.

COTI says they’re planning to bring privacy-enabled RWAs on-chain by 2026, working with a major RWA infrastructure partner. Their stack is based on Garbled Circuits, which they claim is way faster and lighter, while still being programmable and EVM-compatible. That means devs can build normal smart contracts, but with selective disclosure for audits/regulation.

It is worth noting that institutions are already backing privacy-focused infra (Canton Network getting money from BlackRock, Nasdaq, etc.), and RWAs are projected to get huge over the next couple of years. COTI seems to be trying to carve out the “enterprise-friendly privacy” niche before it gets crowded.

Seems like a good time to add COTI to your watchlist and see how this develops.
