Yeah, it’s on us to improve. Not Solana’s fault.
Solana usage has pushed our infra past its limits, and the team is well aware and actively working on it…
To summarize, Coinbase’s indexer issues impacting Solana Send/Receive were resolved ~5am this morning. The UI didn’t automatically update. But both underlying issue and UI fix have now been applied.
Happy thanksgiving!
Signing off for a bit, will check back in before bed.
I know it’s easy to dunk on Coinbase at times.
That said, I’ve never been one to run from a challenge.
So I encourage any disgruntled manlets (especially @mert ) to keep tagging me until we get it all fixed.
There’s many product surfaces, but we can fix them all.
It’s been a tough week.
Looking back myself, I wish I’d done even more sooner. And I apologize to anyone I let down by not pushing harder.
I won’t make that mistake again.
If you’re still a chain maxi in 2025, WAKE UP.
Users don’t care about your chain or its purity tests.
Users just want to buy coins.. and it’s the chain’s job to just work (under all conditions) and add as little friction as possible.
If the President of the United States launching a $30bn token on Solana, which is now doing more DEX volume than all other chains combined, has in way at all changed your priors, there is truly no hope
We're starting the rollout of DEX trading in the U.S. (excluding NY). Our goal is to make Coinbase the simplest way to access onchain markets.
You'll be able to trade millions of @base assets in the Coinbase app.
Support for @solana is coming soon too.
You’re support really means a lot ❤️
@brian_armstrong , if you see this, let’s work with @call_me_lukas to get our indexers up to par.
We gotta be able to keep up with Solana, no matter how fast it goes.
I’m really excited to share this milestone.
We’ve scaled Solana send/receive enough to handle the spikes we experienced in January.
Work doesn’t stop here though. We’re still heads down paving the road for longterm solutions that can handle Solana as it continues to scale.
We’ve been hard at work scaling our @solana infrastructure to be faster, more resilient, and more scalable.
We have upgraded our systems to:
→ Process transactions asynchronously, leading to a 5x improvement in block processing throughput.
→ Leverage bare metal machines for 4x
We got their issue resolved. I’ve followed up with UX team to ensure we aren’t incorrectly blaming Solana. And I’m hoping to do a Solana info session for all agents.
Hopefully with some context, they are better equipped and maybe I can get them excited enough to try Solana apps
Also, thank you to the whole Solana community for offering support and resources throughout this process.
Every message, reply, call truly means so much.
It’s a great reminder that we’re all building together. And share a common goal.
Accelerate.
