It provides REST APIs, SDKs (TypeScript, Python), and CLI tools for building Web3 applications. Key components include non-custodial wallets (EVM and Solana), onramp/offramp payments, smart contract interactions, staking, trading, and data services. Authentication uses API keys (Secret for servers, Client for browsers) with Ed25519 or ECDSA algorithms. Primary docs: https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com
