We will be migrating the privileged onchain roles for cbBTC, cbDOGE, cbADA, cbLTC, cbXRP and cbMEGA smart contracts to our modern system in the coming days.
All staking operations, rewards, and transfers will continue to function normally with zero downtime expected.
No action is needed by users or protocols.

With CDS Playground, a designer can leverage any Agent they choose, describe what they want to build, and start building a real CDS UI immediately.
It's AI-powered prototyping without the DevOps tax.
We hooked Coinbase Design System (CDS) directly into coding agents via custom Agent Skills, MCP, & Figma Code Connect.
Agents auto-detect React vs React Native, grab exact tokens/primitives, & skip hallucinated styles. Plus, a zero-config browser playground for instant prod code.
TL;DR: Anyone at Coinbase can build real, working prototypes in minutes that match our exact design systems standards.

Coinbase’s internal teams used to rely on many separate admin tools, each with its own authorization, audit, and rate limiting.
We replaced that sprawl with a single “Control Center” layer in front of domain services. It centralizes authorization, audit, approvals, and rate limits while letting product teams extend it safely via contracts and configuration, without turning the platform team into a bottleneck.

Building open, permissionless systems is foundational to crypto and is just as critical for the future of AI.
That’s why @Coinbase signed @Microsoft’s open letter.
Powerful tech shouldn’t be locked behind walled gardens. We’re excited to build a stronger ecosystem of American AI innovation, transparency, and decentralized access alongside this group.
Since launching last week, more than 230 companies and organizations from across the tech sector have signed the "Open Weights and American AI Leadership" open letter. We want to thank these partners for standing up and publicly supporting broader access to AI innovation. A special thanks to @nvidia, @a16z, and @PalantirTech for working with @Microsoft on this effort.
These signatories understand that America’s AI leadership will not depend on the success of our frontier models alone, but on our ability to build a strong, secure, and open ecosystem that diffuses AI into every sector. We look forward to continuing to work with our partners and with policymakers to build that open ecosystem in a way that benefits American businesses, empowers American workers, and strengthens the American economy.
