The on-chain arbitrage market is a hyper-competitive arena. Finding opportunities is only half the battle, executing on them is where things get challenging.

On public blockchains, simple observation allows competitive or predatory traders and bots to extract the value of discovered arbitrage — reducing the amount of time to capitalize on the market inefficiency or pricing disconnect. Until now.

Today, we are proud to announce that Bancor’s Arb Fast Lane has integrated COTI’s Garbled Circuits, marking a major milestone in on-chain privacy that’s set to level the playing field for arbitrage traders.

What is Arb Fast Lane?

The Arb Fast Lane is Bancor’s onchain arbitrage trading bot and execution system.

It continuously monitors markets, searching for price discrepancies across all major decentralized exchanges. When it identifies an opportunity, it computes a sequence of trades, designed to capture that discrepancy, known as arbitrage.

The route is executed step by step, and if the final result does not meet predefined thresholds, the transaction reverts.

The Arb Fast Lane ensure high-quality arbitrage opportunities are discovered, executed efficiently, and done so privately — protecting the arbitrage opportunities for traders across the market as they discover them.

The Arbitrage Transparency Problem.

While the logic is sound, the transparency of public blockchains creates a structural problem for traders looking to take advantage of arbitrage. On public blockchains, transactions are visible before they execute. As soon as a transaction enters the que, profitability thresholds are broadcast to the network where competing bots can observe and copy them.

In this environment, blockchain transparency exposes strategy. But Bancor’s Arb Fast Lane solves this.

The COTI Solution: Selective Encryption

By leveraging COTI’s Garbled Circuits, the Arb Fast Lane can now encrypt sensitive execution inputs at the protocol level. Traders don’t need to hide the entire transaction; it’s about intentional privacy.

Encrypted thresholds: The sensitive value is encrypted before broadcast.

On-chain enforcement: The smart contract still enforces the threshold during execution and reverts if it isn’t met.

Zero visibility: The value is never exposed in plaintext to the competing bots or broader network.

This shift moves the competition back to where it belongs: discovery and execution efficiency, rather than simple observation-based extraction.

The Future of Arbitrage

With the integration of COTI’s Garbled Circuits into the Arb Fast Lane, Bancor is introducing a meaningful upgrade to onchain arbitrage execution: privacy applied intentionally, at the exact point where transparency becomes a liability.

By protecting arbitrage opportunities while enabling broader market participation, we aren’t just helping one trader or bot, we are building a fairer, more mature on-chain market.

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

ChainPort is one of the most secure and versatile cross-chain bridges in the industry, connecting dozens of networks and assets through fast, secure interoperability. With NIGHT now supported, ChainPort continues to serve as a powerful gateway for liquidity into COTI’s privacy ecosystem, complementing other assets already bridged to COTI.

This integration is more than a bridge, it connects communities, expands liquidity, and aligns two industry leaders in privacy.

Getting Started with NIGHT on COTI

To begin using NIGHT on COTI Network:

Visit ChainPort and connect your preferred wallet

Select NIGHT as the asset you want to bridge

Choose COTI Network as your destination

Complete the transfer

Once the bridge completes, NIGHT will be available on COTI for liquidity, trading, and participation in private DeFi

As NIGHT continues to grow on COTI, we expect liquidity to deepen and use cases to accelerate.

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for deeper integrations, new privacy-centric products, and more ways to leverage confidential assets on COTI.
