Coinbase launches CDP wallets with full control, no key management

Coinbase has introduced a new developer-focused wallet architecture, CDP Wallets, designed to offer full control over crypto operations without the complexity of key management. Announced by the Coinbase Developer Platform team , CDP Wallets eliminate the long-standing tradeoff between security and usability by leveraging Trusted Execution Environments and an API-first approach.

This ensures that private keys are never exposed, even to Coinbase. Developers interact with the wallet entirely through scoped APIs, enabling transaction creation, signing, and policy enforcement without needing to deploy or manage infrastructure. The wallets are designed with automation and composability in mind, offering features like programmable policy enforcement, EIP-712 typed message signing, and integration with libraries like ethers.js and wagmi. They are fully compatible with EVM chains and Solana ( SOL ), and support common languages including TypeScript, Go, and Python. Use cases span automated DeFi bots, stablecoin payments, enterprise treasury operations, and AI agents executing transactions based on smart contract logic. U.S.-based developers also earn 4.1% USDC rewards on idle balances. CDP Wallets are now available in open beta. Coinbase describes them as a shift in onchain infrastructure—providing programmable custody that is scalable, secure, and invisible to end users.
