Prerequisites

1. Before you can start interacting with Private Tokens, there are a few steps you need to complete. The primary requirement involves the installation of the MetaMask wallet, which supports the necessary COTI Snap plugin required for Portal interaction. To ensure a seamless experience, follow the steps outlined below:

   1. Install MetaMask in Your Browser

      • First, download and install the MetaMask extension for your preferred web browser. This tool acts as your digital wallet and interface for managing COTI tokens and other cryptocurrencies.

   2. Configure the COTI Network in MetaMask

      • Once MetaMask is installed, you need to add the COTI Network to it. This configuration is crucial as it enables communication with the COTI blockchain. If the network is not already set up, the Portal will prompt you to add it when needed.

   3. Install COTI Snap in MetaMask

      • The COTI Snap is a plugin essential for handling Private Tokens within MetaMask. Follow the detailed installation instructions provided by COTI to configure it properly. This step is vital to ensure that all functionalities associated with Private Tokens are accessible.

   4. Ensure Sufficient Native COTI for Transaction Fees

      • Transactions involving Private Tokens will require native COTI for transaction fees. Make sure to have enough COTI in your MetaMask wallet to cover these fees. This preparation will prevent any interruptions in your token interactions.

   By completing all the above steps, you’ll be well-prepared to engage effectively and securely with Private Tokens using the COTI platform.
