As we all know that with the increase in the growth of ecommerce industry and trend of online shopping, the need for a trusted payment processing system is inevitable. Coti is an ecosystem which offers solution to the common problems faced by merchants and buyers.

Some prominent features of COTI
COTI is a payment system based on a distributed ledger which ensures that all the transactions are validated in a decentralized manner. It is different than our current payment system (Credit Card) which is centralized and the pool of validators will be able to monopolize to validate transactions in the near future. This ecosystem will solve this current challenge.
Scalability challenges are present in the payment processing models based on blockchain and also in the currently used Credit card systems. COTI will easily accommodate all the exchanges and it will also provide instant payment solutions even when the transaction volumes are higher.
This decentralized program offers reliability in carrying out transactions such as withdrawals and deposits. The current system has a high rate of disapproving the transactions because there are multiple intermediaries involved. Most of them are cross-border transactions and it results in losing a potential buyer. COTI provides a system which is fast, efficient and at the same time reliable.
The current system applies heavy commission fees on so many different scenarios. There are annual charges, then there are charges applied to specific amount and above all, cross border transactions have to pay high commission fees. While on COTI there are no fix commission charges and each individual is separately analyzed and assessed against his contribution to the network and is levied the commission fee accordingly. Which is zero-to-low commission fees accordingly.
