Running onchain apps used to mean babysitting nodes and guarding private keys. Even simple automations — like watching for payments and reacting — were fragile and slow to build. Today, we’ll fix that. You’ll build a fully autonomous onchain agent that uses Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) Data APIs for real‑time awareness and Server Wallets v2 for secure, programmatic actions.

IntroductionWhat’s the biggest bottleneck when building data-rich on-chain apps? It’s not your idea — it’s the engineering headache of getting reliable, queryable blockchain data. For years, developers had two painful choices:Run your own indexing infra (expensive and brittle).Rely on rigid REST endpoints that can’t answer your custom questions.The Coinbase Developer Platform SQL API changes that. It’s a zero-infrastructure, production-grade indexing solution that lets you query live and hist...
