Coinbase adopted Cursor as part of a broader shift to redesign its engineering model around agent-first infrastructure. Engineers shifted from writing and reviewing code to defining intent and validating results.
Today, over 2,400 developers at Coinbase use Cursor as part of their regular workflow. Since adopting an agent-first model, some teams at Coinbase have reduced time from idea to production from 20 days to less than 2 days, a 90% reduction.
Across Coinbase, 75% of all PRs are created by agents with the average developer saving 7 hours of manual coding each week. Since the beginning of the year, the company has seen a 55% increase in PRs merged per engineer and teams of 1-2 engineers are now building features that once required entire teams.
Coinbase values the freedom to use any model, and we trust Cursor for optimized inference and caching. And with Composer 2.5, Cursor gives us the most cost-competitive model at the frontier of intelligence.Kyle CesmatEngineering Manager, Agent Experience, Coinbase
