Coinbase Wrapped ADA price

CBADA

#104

cbADA is fungible 1:1 with a dedicated reserve of ADA held at Coinbase. The process of minting (sending) and burning (redeeming) cbADA ensures trust and transparency, providing a frictionless experience for users. When a user requests a withdrawal of cbADA, Coinbase holds the corresponding amount of ADA in its custody to back the cbADA minted.

• Minting: When a user initiates a withdrawal of ADA held in their Coinbase account to the Base networks, an equivalent amount of cbADA is minted on the network and sent to the user’s destination address / wallet.
• Burning: When cbADA is deposited to a user-specific Coinbase address, the cbADA is burned and the corresponding amount of ADA is released from Coinbase’s reserve and assigned to the user’s Cardano account.

The total supply of cbADA can be found in the token smart contract under totalSupply ((Base)[https://basescan.org/token/0xcbADA732173e39521CDBE8bf59a6Dc85A9fc7b8c#code]).

The process of minting and burning cbADA involves using a set of audited and secure Base smart contracts. These contracts are designed to mint and burn cbADA as needed, ensuring that the total supply of cbADA always matches the amount of ADA held backing it. cbADA is built using the core elements of the Coinbase wrapped token contract that was also used for Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (cbETH). The smart contract code open source repository for Coinbase's wrapped tokens – including both cbADA and cbETH – can be found on (Github)[https://github.com/coinbase/wrapped-tokens-os].

The following are key roles of the wrapping contract managed by Coinbase. These roles are protected by Coinbase’s key management systems and usage requires approval from a number of people in different functions, including security, engineering, and finance.

• Admin: can upgrade the wrapped token implementation contract
• Owner: can assign all roles except the Admin
• Blacklister: can blacklist an address from transferring, minting, and burning
• MasterMinter: can assign minters and their limits
• Minter: can mint and burn tokens
• Pauser: can pause transfers, mints, and burns for the contract

Coinbase employs state-of-the-art wallets, regular audits, and comprehensive monitoring systems to safeguard the ADA backing cbADA. Additionally, all smart contracts involved in the minting and redemption process are rigorously tested and audited by third-party security experts.

Coinbase engaged OpenZeppelin in an audit of the cbETH smart contract contract ((link)[https://blog.openzeppelin.com/coinbase-liquid-staking-token-audit/]) which was also used for cbADA. No material contract code has been modified in deploying cbADA.

The underlying ADA reserves backing cbADA are held 1:1 at Coinbase, and redemption rights remain with cbADA holders.

Coinbase utilizes both hot wallets and cold wallets in its custodial solutions. Cold wallet private key materials are stored and secured at facilities within the United States and Europe. As part of Coinbase’s risk mitigation efforts, wallet private keys are not stored in plaintext format in any location and the cryptographic consensus of multiple human operators is required to decrypt a private key for both hot and cold wallets. No single individual has control of Coinbase’s wallet private keys. Coinbase performs internal audits of the private key management process and reconciliations between Coinbase wallets and third-party blockchain data. Coinbase does not use sub-custodians in connection with the storage of digital assets.
