For the first time, users can now connect, view, send, receive, and manage private tokens directly through MetaMask.
Private tokens offer individuals and businesses the privacy necessary for secure operations in Web3, unlocking a wide range of real-world applications. This is not about anonymity, but rather selective disclosure and permissioned privacy to facilitate confidential payments, private stablecoins, private DeFi strategies, DAO governance voting, supply chain settlements, and identity credentials. Across the board, privacy can be utilized to protect sensitive data, prevent front-running, and enable selective disclosure for compliance purposes.
Today's announcement represents a significant advancement for COTI in bringing privacy and private tokens into the mainstream, making them directly accessible to users and developers through MetaMask, the most widely utilized wallet in Web3.
Adding the Privacy Extension to MetaMask
The integration is achieved through a MetaMask Snap, a secure extension that enhances your wallet with new capabilities. Specifically, the COTI Snap enables MetaMask to handle private transactions and token balances.
Connecting to the COTI Snap is a straightforward process:
- Navigate to the COTI Snap Integration Page at metamask.coti.io and click “Connect to MetaMask”.
- Approve the Snap installation when prompted, and add your preferred wallet address for sending and receiving private tokens. For a detailed walkthrough, follow this guide: How to Connect the COTI MetaMask Snap.
- Congratulations, your wallet is now equipped to send and receive private tokens!
Celebrate with a Giveaway!
This momentous occasion is being celebrated with a special giveaway. Private ‘LOOT’ tokens will be distributed to all $COTI holders with a balance exceeding 1000 $COTI. The first 100 wallets that send these tokens back to the address 0x0bf9c15cbd9f0fac9fc6ab90f0603e89818489bd using the new MetaMask Snap will each receive 500 COTI tokens.
Why This Integration Matters
Today's launch establishes the groundwork for a production-ready and user-accessible on-chain privacy ecosystem. Users can now benefit from:
- •Seamless interaction with privacy tokens.
- •An improved wallet user experience for developers building privacy-centric dApps.
- •A more secure and private experience in Web3, without compromising usability.
This integration elevates privacy tokens from the infrastructure layer to the hands of users and developers, signaling the beginning of a busy period for COTI.
