Frequently asked questions

Ceven never stores your private keys or seed phrases. We interact with Coinbase through their official API and SDK. When you authorize the connection, we use secure tokens to request specific actions. For high value transfers, you can configure your Coinbase account to require manual multi factor authentication or a second approval in the Coinbase dashboard. This ensures that while the agent can draft or initiate a transfer based on your workflow, the final movement of funds remains under your strict control. We log every API request made by the agent so you have a full audit trail of what was requested and when it happened.
Yes. The integration supports any asset and network that the Coinbase Developer Platform SDK provides. Whether you are moving USDC on Ethereum, Polygon, or Base, the agent can track the balance and initiate the transfer. You just need to specify the network in the workflow step. If a token is not supported on a specific network, the agent will return an error and stop the workflow to prevent loss of funds. This allows you to build complex multi chain treasury movements that automatically route assets to the cheapest or fastest network available at that moment.
The agent can be configured to poll for status updates. Instead of assuming a transfer is complete the moment it is sent, you can build a loop that calls the get transaction status action every few minutes. Once the transaction reaches the required number of network confirmations, the agent triggers the next step in your workflow, such as sending a confirmation email to a client. If a transaction stays pending beyond a defined timeout period, the agent can flag it for human review or alert your finance team via a notification.
The limit is determined by your Coinbase account tier and the API rate limits set by Coinbase. For most institutional accounts, this is more than enough for thousands of wallets. However, you should be aware that the Coinbase API employs strict rate limiting on the list wallets and list transactions endpoints. If you have an extremely high volume of wallets, Ceven implements an exponential backoff strategy to avoid being throttled. For accounts with massive scale, we recommend using webhooks where available to receive events rather than polling the API repeatedly.
Ceven can trigger trades or conversions if the specific API permissions are granted. You can set up a workflow that monitors the price of an asset and triggers a sell order when a target price is hit. This is useful for companies that want to convert volatile crypto assets into stablecoins immediately upon receipt to lock in value. The agent checks the current market price, calculates the amount to trade, and executes the order through the platform. All trades are logged with the execution price for easy accounting.
Ceven interacts with the Coinbase platform and its API. If your funds are stored in a cold storage hardware wallet that is not linked to a Coinbase API managed account, the agent cannot move those funds. The agent can only manage assets that are within the Coinbase ecosystem or managed via the Coinbase Developer Platform. To move funds from cold storage, you must manually send them to a Coinbase wallet first. Once the funds land in the Coinbase account, the agent can then take over the automation of those assets.
When a transaction fails due to issues like low gas fees or network congestion, the Coinbase API returns a specific error code. Ceven captures this error and can trigger a failure path in your workflow. For example, if a transfer fails, the agent can automatically attempt to resend the transaction with a higher priority fee or notify an administrator that a manual intervention is required. This prevents payments from disappearing into a void and ensures that your internal records always match the actual state of the blockchain.
Yes. You can control the scope of the API keys or OAuth permissions you provide to Ceven. If you only want the agent to handle reporting and reconciliation, you can provide a read only key. In this configuration, any attempt by the agent to call a write action like transfer funds will be rejected by Coinbase. This is a recommended security practice for teams that want to use Ceven for auditing and dashboarding but prefer to keep the actual movement of assets as a manual process performed by authorized personnel.
