COTI is not marketed as an “AI coin,” but its core technology may play a major role in the future of privacy-preserving artificial intelligence.

With the launch of COTI V2, the protocol shifted focus toward confidential computation using garbled circuits - a cryptographic method that allows encrypted data to be processed without being exposed. While not exclusive to AI, this technology solves one of AI’s biggest problems: how to use sensitive or proprietary data in machine learning models without risking leaks, theft, or privacy violations. This makes COTI a powerful infrastructure layer for AI x Web3 applications. For example, decentralized AI models could use COTI to process healthcare, finance, or legal data, all without revealing the input data to model providers or third parties.

In other words, COTI isn’t building AI itself but it’s building what AI needs: a way to stay private, compliant, and trustless. Most AI coins on the market today are centered around compute marketplaces, data marketplaces, or prediction APIs. COTI stands apart by offering a confidential execution layer that can serve any protocol needing secure computation including AI, DeFi, identity, and more. COTI is also Ethereum-native, which means it can plug into other AI protocols or tooling ecosystems that rely on the Ethereum network. Its ability to interoperate while keeping computation private gives it an edge that most Layer 2s don’t have.

So is COTI an AI coin? Not directly. But it’s part of the AI-enabling infrastructure stack, especially for developers building responsible, privacy-first AI applications on-chain.
