COTI Network Upgrades with ’Hydrogen’ Hard Fork to Enhance Performance
COTI executed its first formal hard fork, dubbed 'Hydrogen,' on October 19, 2025, at 12:00 PM UTC. The upgrade focuses on protocol-level improvements aimed at boosting speed, security, and resilience without disrupting user operations. Node operators had already transitioned to the latest release, ensuring a seamless shift for wallets and other network participants.
The update emphasizes Multi-Party Computation (MPC) enhancements, including safer file-handling, reinforced cryptographic randomness, and improved memory hygiene. Designed as a foundational upgrade rather than a feature-heavy release, Hydrogen strengthens COTI's infrastructure for enterprise and developer adoption.
