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
On May 7, 2026, Coinbase experienced service disruptions.
We owe our customers, partners, and community an explanation. We’re sharing a postmortem that details what happened, the recovery timeline, and steps we’re taking to durably improve our resilience & infrastructure: https://t.co/nsCoExAJyY
Our Q1 2026 Solana Validator Performance Report is live.
Our Solana validators at a glance:
- 40.48M SOL staked (9.52% of total staked SOL) across validators distributed across 6 countries and 2 bare metal providers
- Delivering a 7.02% APY (vs. network 6.95%) and a skip rate of 0.041% (vs. network 0.198%)
- Supporting 5 validator clients (Harmonic, Jito, JitoBAM, Firedancer, and Rakurai) as primary or secondary
- Runs on 100% bare metal servers (AMD EPYC 9275F and 9575F)
cbBTC is now live on Tempo.
Enterprises and institutions now have access to cbBTC on Tempo, including in DeFi use cases for earn products, lending markets, BTC-backed credit, trading, and more.
Issued by @coinbase, powered by @chainlink CCIP.
Our Q1 2026 Ethereum Validator Performance Report is live.
Here are some key stats and improvements:
→ 4.5M ETH staked to Coinbase validators: → 12.17% of total staked ETH (both figures are averaged over Q1)
→ 99.98% uptime
→ Participation rates that outperformed network averages
→ 0 slashing or double-signing events since inception
→ Increased client diversity and improved relay offerings
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: https://t.co/a42ljP8pzT
Excited for our @CoinbasePltfrm team to work with @_patrickogrady and the @commonwarexyz team on this.
A lot of interesting ideas around high-performance blockchain infrastructure design. Looking forward to collaborating.
We are live! ✅
The Alpenglow Community Cluster is now producing blocks with Tower Consensus enabled 🚀
Huge thanks to all validators who helped bootstrap the network 🙏
Next step: activating the AG feature gates ⚡

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.
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: https://t.co/rrjAQifHIC
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: https://t.co/aWnlfIs2ra
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: https://t.co/20N2i3TZgQ
