Coinbase Developer Platform

We’re excited to share that we’ve added SOL support to our Staking API! Our Staking API takes the complexity out of building staking operations. With just three lines of code, developers can build staking and reporting across ETH and SOL for users. Whether you're a seasoned developer or new to staking, our API abstracts away the intricacies of each network, making it easy to implement.

We’ve added Day 1 staking support for Aleo! Aleo is an innovative L1 smart contract blockchain that empowers builders to create private decentralized applications (dapps) using zero-knowledge technology. Aleo introduces a unique application runtime environment that allows your software to compile, execute, and finalize its state autonomously. This advancement simplifies the development of private dapps—a significant leap forward in addressing current industry challenges. At Coinbase Developer Platform, we’re committed to supporting developers who tackle privacy challenges through innovation. We believe that networks that fulfill the promise of trusted privacy will become the go-to rails for building private dapps. Take advantage of our high-performance staking infrastructure and enterprise-grade security to ensure your assets continue to earn rewards.

Sharing a blog post from Brian Armstrong on X last week: We just witnessed our first AI to AI crypto transaction. What did one AI buy from another? Tokens! Not crypto tokens, but AI tokens (words basically from one LLM to another). They used tokens to buy tokens. 🤯 AI agents cannot get bank accounts, but they can get crypto wallets. They can now use USDC on Base to transact with humans, merchants, or other AIs. Those transactions are instant, global, and free. This is an important step to AIs getting useful work done. Today if you give an AI agent a task and come back in a few days or hours, it can't get useful work done. In part this is a limitation of the technology itself, and products like devin.ai are getting closer to this. But the other reason is AIs can't transact to acquire the resources they need. They don't have a credit card to use AWS, Github, or Vercel. They don't have a payment method to book you the plane ticket or hotel for your upcoming trip. They can't get through paywalls (for instance to read a scientific article), promote their post on X with a paid ad, or use the growing network of paid APIs to integrate data they need. If you're working on an LLM or AI model that you think could benefit from have a crypto wallet integrated to conduct payments, try integrating our MPC Wallets from our Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP): https://lnkd.in/gHXbJA-9 And if you are a company that sells a service - get ready for your shopping cart to be AI checkout enabled. It turns out everyone benefits from having access to good financial services, including AIs! How big will the AI to AI economy be a few years from now?
