COTI_Official

A COTI OG community member built a fully self-custodial trading bot inside Telegram — with privacy tokens, encrypted chat, and biometric security. Here’s how it works. One of the most exciting things about building a public blockchain is watching your community build on it. Today, we’re spotlighting CipherTrade — a fully self-custodial Telegram wallet & trading bot built by @iamsstef.

CipherTrade isn’t just another wallet. It’s a complete trading, privacy, and messaging experience that lives entirely inside Telegram — and it never touches your private keys.

Most Telegram trading bots require you to hand over your private keys or trust a server with your funds. CipherTrade takes a fundamentally different approach: your wallet is derived entirely on your device, your keys never leave your phone, and the server only ever sees your public address.

This is true self-custody — a similar security model to MetaMask or a brainwallet, but wrapped in the convenience of a Telegram Mini App.

What You Can Do with CipherTrade

💰Full Wallet Management Create or restore your wallet, view balances (public + private tokens), receive via QR code, and manage multiple token types.

🔄Token Swaps via Carbon DeFi Swap tokens directly inside Telegram with slippage protection, powered by Carbon DeFi’s on-chain routing.

🔒Private Token Support View and manage COTI privacy tokens. Private balances are decrypted locally on your device — the server never sees them.

📨Encrypted On-Chain Chat Send encrypted messages using COTI’s Garbled Circuits technology. Messages are encrypted on your device and stored on-chain — no server can read them.

👤Social Sends Send tokens to Telegram contacts using @username (opt-in) or saved nicknames. No more copy-pasting long addresses.

🔑Biometric Security Unlock your wallet with Face ID or fingerprint. PIN protection and BIP-39 recovery phrase for full backup compatibility.

📝Private Memos Attach encrypted memos to transactions using COTI’s Garbled Circuits (MemoGC contract). The memo never leaves your device unencrypted.

CipherTrade’s privacy features are powered by two open-source Solidity smart contracts, both available on GitHub:

MemoGC Contract — Enables encrypted on-chain memos attached to transactions using COTI’s Garbled Circuits. The memo is encrypted client-side before being submitted to the contract.

ChatGC Contract — Powers the encrypted on-chain chat feature. Messages are encrypted locally using GC, then stored immutably on-chain. Only the sender and recipient can decrypt them.

Both contracts are publicly available at github.com/CipherTrade-Wallet - a testament to the project’s commitment to transparency and verifiability.

How the Security Works

CipherTrade’s architecture is built on a simple principle: the server should know as little about you as possible. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

Wallet Creation When you set up CipherTrade, your wallet is derived on your device using your password and Telegram ID. The process uses PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations to generate a standard BIP-39 12-word recovery phrase — the same format used by MetaMask and most hardware wallets. Same inputs always produce the same wallet, so you can restore on any device.

Encryption All sensitive data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM (the same standard used by banks and governments) before being stored on your device. Your password is never stored in plaintext anywhere. An optional 5-digit PIN can be set for quick access, which wraps your password using Telegram’s secure storage.

Privacy Tokens COTI privacy token balances are decrypted entirely on your device. The AES key for privacy operations is generated on-chain once, then cached locally in encrypted form. The server never sees your private balances or decryption keys.

Who Has Access to What

DATA POINT WHO HAS ACCESS-------------------------------------------------------Private key / Mnemonic 🔒 Only you (client-side)Password 🔒 Only you (never stored plain)PIN-wrapped password 🔒 You + your device onlyWallet address 🌐 You + server (public)Private token balances 🔒 Only you (decrypted locally)Transaction history 🔒 Only you (client-side)Encrypted chat messages 🔒 Only sender & recipient

Recovery & Compatibility

CipherTrade generates a standard BIP-39 12-word recovery phrase. This means your wallet is fully compatible with MetaMask and other Ethereum-compatible wallets. You can reveal your recovery phrase at any time in settings (password required), and restore your wallet on any device by simply logging in with the same password.

Built by the Community, for the Community

CipherTrade was built by @iamsstef, a long-time COTI community member who saw an opportunity to make COTI V2’s privacy features accessible to everyone — directly inside the app millions already use daily. From wallet creation to encrypted on-chain chat, every feature was designed with one goal: making privacy easy without sacrificing security.

A desktop beta version has also been developed by community member Laurentiu, extending CipherTrade’s reach beyond mobile.

CipherTrade by the Numbers

Since launch, the community has already put CipherTrade to work: 57 users have created 62 wallets, executing nearly 1,500 transactions - including 1,288 sends and 209 token swaps. For a community-built tool, that’s real usage, not just a proof of concept.

We’re excited to share that COTI is an inaugural member of the newly formed Privacy Working Group, created by the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA).

The EEA is the world’s leading organization advancing Ethereum as the open foundation for business innovation. The Privacy Working Group aims to provide clear, practical guidance for financial institutions and enterprises that require privacy when deploying assets on Ethereum and Ethereum Layer-2 blockchains.

COTI joins a group of industry-leading contributors that includes the Ethereum Foundation, Applied Blockchain (Silent Data), Consensys (Linea), COTI, EY (Nightfall), Polygon, Kaleido (Paladin), and ZKsync. This group brings together a strong mix of enterprise leaders, infrastructure providers, and privacy-focused protocols.

This collaboration spans a wide range of Ethereum privacy approaches, including Garbled Circuits, Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Trusted Execution Environments, and Multi-Party Computation, reflecting the diversity of solutions required to meet real-world enterprise needs.

The Privacy Working Group will map the Ethereum privacy landscape in a clear and accessible way, helping institutions understand which privacy tools exist, how they are being used, and whether they meet financial and regulatory requirements. The focus is intentionally non-technical and product-oriented, designed to answer the practical questions enterprises face when evaluating privacy solutions.

By bringing together EEA members with deep experience across finance, infrastructure, and cryptography, the group aims to foster interoperability, share best practices, and identify remaining gaps in scalability and confidentiality across sectors such as finance, healthcare, and supply chains.

We’re proud for COTI to be part of this effort and to contribute our perspective on scalable, programmable privacy for Ethereum.

We invite fellow and future EEA members to join us in this effort and contribute. For more information, visit: https://entethalliance.org/.

Reale Vermögenswerte (RWAs) entwickeln sich zu einem der transformativsten Themen im Blockchain-Bereich für 2026. RWAs werden die Kapitalmärkte dominieren und traditionelle Vermögenswerte wie Immobilien, Privatkredite und Rechnungen auf öffentliche Ledger bringen und versprechen, riesige Liquiditäts- und Effizienzquellen freizusetzen.

Ethereum selbst hat kürzlich Dutzende von tokenisierungsinitiativen aus der realen Welt hervorgehoben, bei denen Finanzinstitute bereits begonnen haben, sich an On-Chain-Infrastrukturen zu engagieren.

→ 10M+ On-Chain-Transaktionen in einem Monat verarbeitet → Sensible Gesundheitsdaten niemals im Klartext offengelegt → Insgesamt ca. 400 COTI-Token oder 5 $ Gesamtkosten für den gesamten Pilotversuch → Validiert von den Gesundheitsbehörden Bangladeschs

Im Juni 2025 gaben wir unsere Partnerschaft mit StaTwig bekannt, dem globalen Technologieunternehmen für Lieferketten hinter VaccineLedger — einem von den Vereinten Nationen anerkannten digitalen öffentlichen Gut und Gewinner der Trinity Challenge.

Eine Sache ist jetzt klar. KI ist die disruptivste Technologie unserer Zeit. Das liegt daran, dass KI mehr ist als ein Gesprächs- und Kommunikationswerkzeug, es automatisiert die Kognition selbst. Das bedeutet, dass es in der Lage ist, Aktionen massenhaft zu produzieren und zu koordinieren, nicht nur Ideen zu generieren.

Mit der Einführung von Open Claw übernehmen die Agenten. Automatisierung von Aktionen, Filterung von Ablenkungen und das Leben und die Geschäfte der Menschen auf Autopilot setzen. Über 2-Millionen OpenClaws wurden in weniger als 30 Tagen gestartet.

Zuerst Millionen. Dann Milliarden. Die Agenten sind angekommen. Dies ist historisch neu.

Wir freuen uns, bekannt zu geben, dass die COTI Vibe Coding Challenge offiziell live ist. Wir laden jeden ein, ein Entwickler zu werden und in den nächsten 30 Tagen von 0 zum Launch zu gelangen.

Vibe-Codierung macht es unglaublich einfach, Ihre eigene App zu erstellen, sodass es jeder tun kann. Für diesen Wettbewerb laden wir Sie ein, die kreativste, einzigartigste und wertvollste App zu erstellen, die letztendlich als vollständiges Web3-Projekt gestartet werden kann.

Nehmen Sie an der Herausforderung teil, Ihre eigene App oder Ihr eigenes Spiel sowie ein Token zu starten, und treten Sie für die Chance ein, bis zu 50.000 COTI + mehr zu gewinnen!!

Der On-Chain-Arbitrage-Markt ist eine hyper-wettbewerbsfähige Arena. Gelegenheiten zu finden ist nur die Hälfte des Kampfes, sie auszuführen ist der herausfordernde Teil.

Auf öffentlichen Blockchains ermöglicht einfache Beobachtung wettbewerbsfähigen oder räuberischen Händlern und Bots, den Wert von entdecktem Arbitrage zu extrahieren – wodurch die Zeit verkürzt wird, um von der Markteffizienz oder Preisabweichung zu profitieren. Bis jetzt.

Heute sind wir stolz bekannt zu geben, dass Bancors Arb Fast Lane COTIs Garbled Circuits integriert hat, was einen bedeutenden Meilenstein in der On-Chain-Privatsphäre darstellt, der darauf abzielt, das Spielfeld für Arbitrage-Händler zu ebnen.
