This alliance tackles a longstanding issue in blockchain: maintaining privacy without compromising compliance. Houdini Swap’s method divides transactions between two centralized exchanges and a randomly selected Layer-1 blockchain, making it impossible for any single party to follow the entire transaction route. The process uses disposable wallet addresses, randomized transaction paths, and substantial liquidity pools to mask sender and receiver connections, while still permitting regulated platforms to conduct Know-Your-Transaction (KYT) verifications. For users, this means they can convert assets to COTI without connecting their wallets, safeguarding privacy while staying within legal boundaries. For institutions, it provides a secure way to interact with crypto assets without revealing sensitive business information.
COTI’s programmable privacy technology, based on advanced Garbled Circuits, strengthens Houdini’s offering by delivering a solid platform for enterprise-level solutions. This integration supports a complete cycle of compliant privacy: users can privately hold BTC, exchange it for COTI, transact on COTI’s network, and utilize DeFi services—all while keeping their data confidential. This is especially important for businesses, where leaks could threaten supply chain partnerships or expose strategic plans. The partnership also broadens COTI’s reach, enabling developers to add Houdini’s private swap APIs to wallets and decentralized applications (dApps).
For the wider crypto industry, this partnership marks a move toward real-world privacy solutions. Houdini Swap’s service,
