TL;DR
→ The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance published its first Enterprise Privacy Report, mapping the privacy solutions institutions can actually deploy on Ethereum.
→ COTI is profiled alongside Consensys, EY, Kaleido, Polygon, ZKsync, and Applied Blockchain.
→ COTI is the only solution in the report classified as General Availability. Every other solution sits at Pilot or Early Production.
Introduction
The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) Privacy Working Group published State of Privacy on Ethereum for Enterprise, the first edition of a recurring report mapping the privacy stack institutions can actually deploy on today.
The EEA is the standards body that helps banks, central banks, asset managers, and Fortune 500 companies onboard to Ethereum. Its audience for this report is named directly: CIOs, compliance officers, and digital asset leads evaluating privacy options for tokenized assets.
This is the closest thing institutional Ethereum players have as a builders guide. COTI sits inside that report as a peer of every major enterprise privacy provider on Ethereum. This is what the report means for COTI
COTI is the Only Solution Marked: General Availability.
The report’s Readiness Matrix classifies each solution against an evidence rubric applied equally across every member: named customers, time in production, recent audits, regulated engagement, public volume.
Of the seven solutions profiled:
COTI is classified as General Availability.
Silent Data (Applied Blockchain) is classified as Early Production.
Linea Enterprise, Nightfall, Paladin, Polygon CDK, and Prividium are classified as Pilot.
The classification is the assessment of a cross-institutional working group, not a positioning claim from COTI, backed by over 1-year of on-chain activity, transactions and successful use cases deployed with end-to-end privacy on COTI Network.
How the EEA Describes COTI
“COTI is the programmable privacy layer for Web3. Powered by high-performance Garbled Circuits, it delivers fast, low-cost, flexible, and compliant privacy across blockchains, and natively on its Ethereum Layer 2.”
State of Privacy on Ethereum for Enterprise, EEA Privacy Working Group, April 2026
The named references the EEA used to support COTI’s General Availability classification:
European Central Bank, Digital Euro Pioneer Partner.
Privex, COTI-native perpetual DEX with $25bn in aggregate volume.
UNICEF, Bangladesh Government, and StaTwig, a national-scale vaccine supply chain rollout completing 10 million private computations.
Nightfall and the Dual-Privacy Stack
The report also profiles Nightfall, the open-source ZK protocol originally built by Ernst & Young (EY) in 2019 and released to the public domain. Nightfall supports private transfers, KYC-gating, and selective disclosure for regulated environments.
This matters because COTI is building COTI Nightfall on that same proven ZK infrastructure. Two of the seven enterprise privacy solutions the EEA chose to profile sit inside COTI’s roadmap: COTI Garbled Circuits for speed and programmability, and COTI Nightfall ZK for regulated, institutional workflows.
This dual-privacy stack is designed to address EEA’s own Decision Framework pointing toward: “No single solution addresses all enterprise privacy requirements.”
With GC & Nightfall, COTI is primed to be the only privacy protocol in the world that can address all enterprise privacy requirements for any institutional use case.
COTI Privacy-on-Demand: Native Privacy on Ethereum
With Privacy-on-Demand, COTI is bringing Garbled Circuits natively to Ethereum and other leading L1 and L2 chains. This means any dApp, protocol, or smart contract on Ethereum can plug into COTI’s privacy layer for encrypted computation, without bridging to a separate network or changing tools.
For the thousands of apps already building on Ethereum, privacy becomes a feature they can simply switch on, all powered by the $COTI token.
COTI has already proven this works. On Ethereum’s Sepolia testnet, COTI deployed a live solution to Yao’s Millionaires’ Problem, the foundational challenge in secure multi-party computation first posed in 1982. Two parties determined who held the larger value, with encrypted inputs, private computation, and a verified result, all with 100% end-to-end cryptography and zero data exposure. This is the same challenge Vitalik Buterin highlighted publicly when he called for Garbled Circuits to deliver pure-cryptographic security guarantees for MPC.
COTI didn’t just hear the call. It answered it, directly on Ethereum’s own infrastructure.
Why This Matters
The institutional privacy era on Ethereum has officially begun. The territory is mapped. The vocabulary is shared. And the buyers are reading.
The world’s leading institutions and enterprises are preparing to bring trillions in assets on-chain. But they won’t move without confidentiality. The EEA’s report is the guide they’ll use to evaluate their options, a standards-body-backed assessment of which privacy solutions are actually ready for production.
COTI enters that conversation as the only solution classified as General Availability. Not piloting. Not in early production. Live, proven, and ready to deploy.
