Hardening cryptography, cryptocurrency and coinbase.
Good guys are fundamentally advantaged using AI to secure because we have full access to our own source code, and a decade of experience powering cryptocurrencies at the largest scale.
Coinbase has recently gained access to the Mythos preview. We will continue to use the latest AI models to harden the security of our systems and the Open Source Software we use.

Turning Figma designs into production-ready code is a repetitive part of building software.
To address this, we built an AI agent that reads Figma screenshots and writes the corresponding production code. Our first pilot took 4 days, where the same feature normally takes 2-4 weeks.

How do we help scale AI usage across @coinbase?
We built an internal hub that puts every capability just one click away:
→ Unified interface to discover & oversee agents
→ Robust AI primitives (Models, Skills, Knowledge Bases, MCPs)
→ Personalized learning via an AI coach

At Coinbase, engineers are evolving from implementers into orchestrators of agent fleets.
Mux, our internal multi-agent tool, enables this shift. By running multiple agents with their own independent worktrees and models, power users are now merging 3.5x more PRs than the baseline.
What started as one engineer's side project grew organically to 600 users across Coinbase and helped solve coding’s concurrency problem: coinbase.com/blog/coding-had…

In the last 12 months, we’ve seen a 27x increase in non-engineers using dev tools like Claude, OpenCode and Cursor to build & automate how we work.
The goal is to turn everyone into a builder, and safely reduce the distance between idea → execution to near zero.
Trust is our most important asset at @coinbase, so this is fueled by a massive effort in quality, guardrails and simplification.

Wait until you see all the subagents new capabilities we're wiring in now
These will blow you away because Fred & Balaji are wired into Coinbase: github, drive, linear, slack & more.
Fred for the expert strategy, Balaji for challenging assumptions. A 10x team.
Wait until you see all the subagents new capabilities we're wiring in now. #BestPlaceToBuild

In case you missed it, Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin ( $cbBTC ) is now accessible on @monad via @chainlink CCIP, extending Bitcoin-backed liquidity into a high-performance execution environment.
This integration enables developers and institutions to access BTC liquidity across chains while maintaining the security, transparency, and 1:1 backing expected from Coinbase-issued assets.

Introducing Frosty, our AI-powered smart contract auditing tool that outperformed every other tool we evaluated. It runs in ~1-2 hours, can be 100x cheaper than a manual audit, and is now part of every smart contract review at Coinbase. Here's how we built it: coinbase.com/blog/consumer-p…

Scaling ETH ETPs starts with getting the plumbing right.
Our efficient infrastructure behind the scenes is how institutional staking becomes operational at scale.
Scaling ETH ETPs means translating validator-level operations into portfolio-level TradFi products.
By leveraging EIP-7251 to reduce our operational surface by 64x and bypassing exit queues with off-chain vault transfers, we’ve built the infrastructure for institutional ETP staking: coinbase.com/blog/scaling-et…

We rebuilt Coinbase’s payout infrastructure to process 1B payout transactions annually. Our async framework delivers:
- Decoupled Accrual from Distribution
- Framework-level double-entry accounting
- Anomaly detection before money moves
Here’s how we created faster, safer infrastructure: coinbase.com/blog/scaling-co…
