Very interesting update from
@COTInetwork - let's dive into what's there:
Confirmation that maximum supply will not move. Stays at 4.9 Billion
$coti regardless of future growth.
Revenue-driven burn mechanism (100% of gas fees AND 50% of privacy bridge fees, with a guaranteed 100 million
$coti burn in year-1, subject to community governance vote.
New Fee model for private transactions and private bridge transactions.
$coti will be the ONLY token with which to pay transaction/bridge fees. Bigger than you think, when considering the multi-chain approach.
Coming soon - additional privacy blockchain on testnet, designed and supported by a leading institutional partner
More L1 and L2 integrations throughout 2026.
Adaptive staking rewards - we will see what that actually means in practice with the launch of the new treasury.
These are, I think, the main headlines here.
What struck me was the commitment to a 100 million
$coti fee burn.
It's quite clear now that fees for private transactions (gas or bridge) will be increased. This is also a clear signal to be ready for a significant uptick in usage.
Fees will go to a community controlled wallet. This means you will be able to monitor fee collection in real time.
With the current fee structure, 100 million would have been a very tall climb. New fee structure and a high level of confidence that we will see an increase in usage are both good news for the project.
As for this "additional privacy blockchain on testnet" - your guess will be just as good as mine, but the suggestion that it is a "leading institutional partner" is very interesting indeed.
More chains ➡️ more usage ➡️ more fees ➡️ bigger token burns ➡️ reduced rate of inflation ➡️ eventually deflationary
I think these are all good news for the project and for the community.
