Coinbase app is ‘broken’ for UX, admits CEO Brian Armstrong

Brian Armstrong said the next two weeks will see a series of rapid updates on the biggest pain points for Coinbase app users.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says the rise of on-chain activities on its new layer-2 network Base has exposed how “broken” the Coinbase app is for user experience, and has pledged to improve it. 

In an X (Twitter) post on Aug. 13, Armstrong said a number of pain points have surfaced during “Onchain Summer” — a multi-week festival of product launches, brand activations, and non-fungible token reveals on Base that began on Aug. 9 and runs until Aug. 31.
