COTI Enables Private Token Management Through MetaMask Integration
According to Cryptopolitan, COTI announced on Monday that users can now manage private tokens directly through MetaMask. The integration uses a MetaMask Snap extension to enable private transactions and token balances. Users can connect, view, send, and receive private tokens without leaving the MetaMask environment.
The COTI Snap is available through the COTI Snap Integration Page at metamask.coti.io. Users must approve the Snap installation and add their wallet address to begin transferring private tokens. This development represents the first time private token functionality has been accessible within MetaMask.
COTI announced a giveaway for token holders with balances above 1,000 COTI. The first 100 wallets to return LOOT tokens using the new Snap will receive 500 COTI tokens each. The launch follows a network upgrade last week that included the Hydrogen hard fork.
Privacy Features Address Enterprise Needs
The private token system focuses on selective disclosure and permissioned privacy rather than complete anonymity. COTI states these features support confidential payments across multiple applications. Use cases include private stablecoins, DeFi strategies, DAO governance voting, and supply chain settlements.
FinanceFeeds reports that the integration brings privacy technology into mainstream Web3 interaction. MetaMask serves tens of millions of users globally. The platform now offers production-ready privacy features for both individuals and enterprises.
The Snap operates in a sandboxed environment within MetaMask. Users maintain full control over data disclosure throughout transactions. This architecture allows developers to build privacy-centric decentralized applications with improved user experience.
MetaMask Snaps Expand Wallet Capabilities
MetaMask Snaps represent modular extensions that add custom capabilities to the wallet. According to MetaMask, Snaps operate in isolated environments with structured security boundaries. Users must grant explicit permissions before Snaps can access wallet functionality.
The Snaps platform launched its open beta in 2023. The system allows developers to create features without requiring MetaMask team approval. Current Snap categories include transaction insights, interoperability solutions, and notification systems.
Security remains a priority as the Snaps ecosystem expands. MetaMask emphasizes that Snaps cannot access Secret Recovery Phrases or private keys. The trust model ensures users only need to trust information displayed within the MetaMask context.
Broader Privacy Adoption in Blockchain
COTI's partnership with MetaMask reflects growing enterprise interest in blockchain privacy solutions. BlockchainReporter reports that COTI joined the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance in January 2025. The organization includes members like Microsoft and JPMorgan Chase.
The collaboration aims to develop privacy standards for Web3 technology. COTI CEO Shahaf Bar-Geffen stated the partnership offers opportunities to exchange ideas with Ethereum ecosystem leaders. The focus includes bridging innovation with real-world adoption.
Privacy concerns have become more prominent as blockchain usage grows. Enterprises require confidential transaction capabilities for compliance and security. COTI's garbled circuits technology provides encryption for sensitive data on public blockchains. The demand for privacy-preserving solutions continues to increase across financial institutions and corporate users.
