COTI_Official

We’re excited to announce that NIGHT, the native token of the Midnight Network, is now live on the COTI Network , powered by ChainPort.

This milestone brings another major privacy-native asset into COTI’s programmable privacy ecosystem. By bridging NIGHT to COTI Network, we’re expanding liquidity and utility for builders, traders, and participants of our Global privacy ecosystem.

What Is NIGHT?

NIGHT is the unshielded native and governance token of the Midnight Network, a next-generation privacy blockchain from Input Output, the same engineering team behind Cardano.

Midnight restores the original promise of crypto, and aims to be the architecture of freedom. The network is a fourth-generation blockchain built for rational privacy. No one should be forced to choose between utility and privacy. Midnight’s architecture enables everyone to verify the truth without exposing their personal data.

Unlike privacy coins that obfuscate transactions, Midnight combines zero-knowledge cryptography with selective disclosure tooling, enabling developers and users to retain privacy where needed while staying compliant and auditable.

How NIGHT works:

NIGHT secures the network and enables governance

Holding NIGHT generates DUST, a renewable, shielded resource used to pay for on-chain transaction fees and smart contract execution on Midnight

Midnight prioritizes programmable privacy, giving builders and enterprise users fine-grained control over what data is revealed on-chain and when

The NIGHT token launch was a major moment for the privacy ecosystem, marking the culmination of one of the broadest token distributions in blockchain history and signaling strong early community participation across multiple ecosystems.

What This Means for COTI Network

The integration of NIGHT via ChainPort opens powerful new opportunities:

🚀 Deepened Liquidity for Privacy AssetsWith lightning-fast transfers and low fees, ChainPort is the ideal bridge for builders, traders, and liquidity providers to bring NIGHT into COTI’s privacy-native DeFi pools, confidential payments rails, and multichain trading venues.

🔗 Cross-Chain ComposabilityBy bridging a leading privacy token like NIGHT into COTI’s ecosystem, we further unlock interoperability between privacy-blockchains, build bridges between our communities, and unlock a wide-variety of use cases.

💡 More Use Cases for BuildersDevelopers can now leverage NIGHT within COTI’s ecosystem to build privacy-enhanced applications, broaden access to confidential DeFi products, and experiment with next-gen financial rails that prioritize data protection and compliance.

ChainPort: Powering the NIGHT Bridge

TL;DRA complete, step-by-step walkthrough on how to earn the equivalent of over 40% APY on USDC, ETH & BTC in COTI token rewards→ What you’ll need→ How to bridge assets→ How to claim your rewards

Overview

COTI Earn is our seasonal rewards platform that rewards users with a generous APY for simply holding assets on the COTI Mainnet and participating in our DeFi ecosystem.

The easiest way to start earning APY is simply bridge USDC, ETH or BTC into the COTI network. Once bridged, simply holding these assets on the network makes you eligible for daily TPS rewards which can be converted to $COTI at the end of the season.

Here is everything you need to know to start earning APY!

What You’ll Need:

A Web3 wallet: MetaMask is recommended

One of the following assets on its native chain: USDC, ETH, or BTC

Gas fees on the source chain (e.g. ETH on Ethereum)

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet to COTI Earn

Open earn.coti.io

Click “Connect Wallet” in the upper right corner

Select your wallet provider (e.g. MetaMask).

Approve the connection in your wallet.

If you are not connected to COTI Mainnet — you will be prompted to add it.

Confirm the network switch.

Once connected, your wallet address will be visible in the top-right corner. You are now set up to receive Token Point rewards (TPS)!

💡 If the network does not auto-add COTI Mainnet Network , you can manually add it using these instructions: here.

Step 2: Bridge Assets to COTI

🌉Open & Setup the Bridge

Navigate to the Nexus Bridge here.

Connect your wallet.

Choose your source chain (e.g. Ethereum or Bitcoin).

Choose the asset you want to bridge:

USDC → USDC.e

ETH → wETH

BTC → wBTC

Add the amount you want to bridge

Set destination chain to COTI Mainnet

Review fees and estimated arrival time.

✅ Approve & Bridge

Approve the token spend in your wallet

Confirm the bridge transaction.

Wait for the cross-chain transfer to complete

💡 Be Patient: The bridge transaction can take up to several minutes to process

Once complete, you’ve successfully bridged to COTI Network & will automatically start earning TPS.

Step 3: Verify Your Assets on COTI Mainnet (Optional)

In case you want to ensure that your assets have successfully bridged to the COTI Mainnet, you can view them in your wallet following these steps:

Ensure your wallet is connected to COTI Mainnet

Check your wallet balance for: USDC.e, wETH, or wBTC- These are the names of the assets once bridged to COTI Mainnet

If you don’t automatically see your tokens you can add the individual contract addresses to check. How? Manually add the address to which ever token you bridged:

USDC.e: 0xf1Feebc4376c68B7003450ae66343Ae59AB37D3C

wETH: 0x639aCc80569c5FC83c6FBf2319A6Cc38bBfe26d1

wBTC: 0x8C39B1fD0e6260fdf20652Fc436d25026832bfEA

4. Navigate to your MetaMask wallet > ‘Import Token’ and paste the address above for the token that you bridged.

5. Your tokens should now be visible.

Step 4: Automatically Earn APY

Once bridging is complete, you will automatically earn APY on the USDC, ETH or BTC you hold on the COTI Mainnet.

APY is paid out in TPS rewards, which are calculated daily

TPS is minted directly to your wallet every 24 hours

No lock ups or staking required.

Stack TPS and convert it to $COTI at the end of the season

That’s it! There’s nothing else you need to do.

How the APY Rate Works

The APY on COTI Earn depends on network conditions

The most recent APY is shown in the landing page of earn.coti.io.

APY rates vary and are subject to change based on network conditions.
