User guide

The Privacy Portal is COTI V2's user-facing dApp for interacting with tokens on COTI, letting you bridge between Public tokens and PrivateERC20 tokens.

It allows you to work with two types of tokens:

Public Tokens

Public Tokens behave like standard blockchain tokens:

• balances are visible on-chain

• transactions are transparent

Private Tokens

Private Tokens add an extra layer of privacy:

• balances are stored encrypted on-chain

• you decrypt and view them locally using your wallet and the COTI MetaMask Snap

This helps keep your financial data confidential.

What you’ll learn

This guide will walk you through how to:

• connect your wallet to the Privacy Portal

• onboard so private features can unlock

• bridge public tokens into private tokens

• send and receive private transactions

• view your balances securely

Why use the Privacy Portal?

The Privacy Portal lets you move your tokens into a private state, giving you more control over what information is visible on-chain while keeping sensitive data confidential.
