XMTP May 2025 Community Update

XMTP launches in Coinbase Wallet's new social app

We're thrilled to announce XMTP messaging is back and better than ever in Coinbase Wallet as part of the app's new push into social. Secure-messaging, powered by XMTP is a primary experience in the app (currently in beta), unlocking a new surface area for users and developers, bringing crypto and AI directly into secure group chats and DMs.

Secure, encrypted messaging is coming to the new Coinbase Wallet, powered by @xmtp_. DMs and group chats are about to get a whole lot more powerful.

- Talk with AI Agents
- Make trades in real-time
- Use mini apps directly in the chat

This allows for entirely new use-cases never before possible in traditional messaging, including:

AI-powered trading assistants, helping users execute informed trades instantly within secure DMs & group-chat.
On-demand crypto mini-apps, enabling seamless interaction with DeFi protocols and NFT marketplaces without leaving your conversations.
Casual gaming and prediction markets, letting a group of friends seamlessly wager, play, and compete directly within secure chats, backed by smart contract functionality.
Real-time portfolio management, allowing friends or investment groups to collaboratively manage crypto assets directly in group chats.
Automated customer support agents, providing secure, instant, and personalized assistance powered by AI that can understand and assist based on the contents of your wallet.

Existing agents, like BankrBot, can extend their service to Coinbase Wallet, simply by adopting XMTP as a channel. This provides developers with the incentive of more distribution opportunities through the XMTP network, while not having to build the security requirements that XMTP provides.

We're currently working with over 10 of the best of the agent and mini-app teams in web3 and excited for users to experience the power of agents in the new Coinbase Wallet.

XMTP added as a Base Batches dedicated track

Given the new push into social by Coinbase Wallet, Base had added XMTP to Base Batches, Base's global program for builders creating the next wave of onchain apps.

To kick this off, we're teaming up with Base for a 3-week Buildathon. The Buildathon, ending on June 6th, is a great chance for developers to innovate and redefine what messaging can be when combining AI + crypto + mini-apps into a highly-secure chat experience, powered by XMTP.

Join us in NYC for Base Messaging Demo Day on June 12

We're hosting an event with Coinbase Wallet, Base, and XMTP to demo the future of messaging. We'll be showcasing some of the best examples of agents & mini-app developers building on XMTP, and show why this new surface area can completely change how we think about messaging.

We'll educate builders on how these primitives work, why they're unique, and how they help to unlock massive opportunities for developers to create highly engaging applications in messaging.
