The Helium mainnet upgrade is a protocol-level change that introduces native 128-bit and 256-bit support and aims to make private computation faster and more reliable, with no required user action, according to the COTI team’s announcement. Mechanically, this strengthens COTI’s infrastructure for confidential DeFi and real-world asset use cases by improving performance and tooling for builders. For price, more capable privacy infrastructure can attract developers and institutional users seeking confidential settlement, which may increase demand for COTI as the network’s native asset if new applications, volumes, and TVL follow the upgrade.
