At Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP), our mission is simple: back the builders who are shaping the future of finance and the internet. To do that, we’re creating more than just products, we're creating a global community where developers can learn, build, and thrive together.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce the CDP Ambassador Program: a network of exceptional developers who’ve already shown their ability to ship, contribute, and inspire. These ambassadors aren’t just early adopters of our tools they’re partners in pushing what’s possible onchain.

What is the Ambassador Program?

The Ambassador Program is an invite-only initiative for proven builders in the CDP ecosystem. These are developers who’ve won hackathons, shipped apps, written guides, or driven conversations that advance our mission.

As Ambassadors, they will:

• Provide real-time product feedback and insights from the builder’s perspective.

• Publish tutorials, demos, and threads that help other devs get started.

• Represent CDP at events and workshops worldwide.

• Help shape the roadmap by bringing developer needs directly to our team.

Think of them as the bridge between CDP and the global builder community—helping us keep our products sharp, our docs useful, and our ecosystem thriving. We love them and we hope you will too 💙
