COTI Treasury Upgrade Brings Community Governance, Stability, and Better Staking Rewards

• COTI Foundation unveils a decentralized Treasury model run by node operators and governed by community voting via gCOTI.
• Helium mainnet upgrade enhances private computation and prepares for expanded private DeFi and Treasury decentralization.

COTI is preparing a major shift in its network structure following the rollout of its Node V2 system. The COTI Foundation has confirmed that it is creating a new treasury with a decentralized and community-based design. This action is after the recent protocol upgrades that enabled the network to enhance the role of programmable privacy and private finance infrastructure.

The new Treasury will be operated by node operators and governed through community voting. It makes staking simpler for the users and is intended to improve long-term network stability. According to the Foundation, the changes are also designed to align incentives between node operators, builders, and token holders.

This development builds on earlier upgrades completed in January, including the Helium mainnet update. That upgrade introduced native private computation and performance improvements without requiring user action. As CNF reported, the Helium release supports the network’s broader 2026 roadmap focused on private DeFi growth and infrastructure maturity.

COTI Treasury Now Under Community Control

The upcoming Treasury model represents a change from centralized management toward a decentralized framework. Governance will be conducted through gCOTI voting, allowing participants to directly influence Treasury decisions. The Foundation said this approach is expected to increase participation and transparency across the network.

The Foundation has already described how the Treasury redesign will reduce the circulating supply in the long run, while a redesign of the staking systems will attract new users. This, it says, will help increase staking levels and improve the overall user experience.

Earlier this month, the Foundation assured the community that the treasury would become decentralized after the release of Node V2. It planned to achieve this by developing a system in which the governance, staking, and network security support each other. As CNF reported, this approach will make the network more resilient and encourage users to participate in the long-term. 

COTI trades at $0.01863, a 2% decline in the past day. According to crypto analyst BeLaunch, the token has signalled a bullish trend, and the next levels to watch out for are $0.19, $0.34, and $0.60 as upcoming breakout zones. As per the analyst, the token is entering an accumulation phase, with momentum expected to rise if trading volumes confirm the price structure.
