COTI (COTI/USDT – Trade it here) is the first enterprise-grade fintech platform that empowers organizations to build their own payment solution and digitize any currency to save time and money. COTI is a Layer 1 blockchain ecosystem designed for payments. Unlike traditional blockchains, COTI does not rely on Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS) to verify transactions. It employs a unique consensus algorithm called Proof of Trust (PoT), which combines a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) data structure with Proof of Work (PoW). PoT can reduce transaction costs and increase throughput to 100,000 TPS. Basic information for their token is available on the MEXC Digital asset introduction page.
How Does it Work
COTI hopes to fully participate in the new digital economy and create a new generation of financial and digital products. Although built at the bottom, COTI can be seen from Layer 1 to applications, and it will develop into a comprehensive ecosystem. The COTI network runs on Trustchain, a Layer 1 blockchain protocol that uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) data structure.
Directed acyclic graph (DAG) is the most suitable infrastructure for payments due to its scalability and low transaction costs. COTI’s innovative DAG data ledger and algorithm based on machine learning addresses current blockchain shortcomings, processing over 100,000 TPS while providing price stability mechanisms and buyer-seller protections.
How does COTI Token work?
Its native coin, COTI, is a cryptocurrency that operates on three different main networks. Users can use COTI to pay transaction fees or pledge to the Treasury to generate rewards. You can also use COTI and other cryptocurrencies to pay for goods and services via the COTI Visa debit card. COTI MultiDAG 2.0 allows developers, merchants, and enterprises to issue tokens that carry Trustchain functionality, such as scalability, high throughput, low cost, and easy-to-use payment tools such as COTI Pay Business.
The blockchain relies on the Helium consensus protocol, based on HoneyBadgerBFT, which allows groups of nodes to reach a consensus on untrusted connections. The Helium Consensus Protocol will elect a consensus group of 16 members quarterly. All active access points are eligible to be elected to the consensus group. The selection is random, but it will apply filters to ensure members are geographically distinct. In each election:
The top 12 mining performers remain in the consensus group unless they have reached the limit of four consecutive epochs. After reaching this limit, they can no longer join the election. However, they can join the re-election in the next term.
Unfortunately, they will replace the four worst-performing members.
If a member is eliminated before completing four consecutive seasons, he can only be re-elected after the other 15 members are completely eliminated.
After one season, members of the consensus group receive 6% of the total mining rewards, evenly distributed among 16 members.
