Coinbase has expanded its self-service asset recovery tool to include lost tokens on the Solana network, according to an announcement of April 21.
The functionality allows users to recover certain non -supported SPL tokens made by mistake to their Coinbase addresses without submitting a customer support ticket.
The company said that all SPL tokens are not eligible for recovery, and users are encouraged to check the eligibility for assets before launching the process.
In addition, Coinbase stressed that the assets recovered have not undergone the full examination of the registration of the exchange, and customers must exercise their judgment concerning the authenticity and safety of assets.
Asset recovery capacity

The original recovery tool allowed users to recover nearly 4,000 assets based on Ethereum not taken care of which have been accidentally sent to Coinbase accounts.
Until the launch of this tool, the assets sent by mistake was generally not recoverable because the Coinbase employees and the support channels did not have access to the private keys necessary to reverse these transactions.
In February 2024, Coinbase expanded functionality To the tokens sent by mistake using the BNB chain and the polygon. If a user tries to recover an unacceptable asset or uses an unreformed network, the process will fail and the funds will remain inaccessible.
Successful recovery involving amounts greater than $ 100 are subject to 5% fees Applied to the part of $ 100, in addition to standard network costs.
Take a long -standing problem
The expansion by coinbase of the recovery service to include the SPL tokens on Solana reflects a wider effort to take up a long-standing challenge of the crypto self-leather.
Historically, erroneous transactions involving non -covered tokens have often led to permanent losses, creating frustration among users. Coinbase aims to simplify recovery processes and reduce dependence on manual customer support by offering a self-service option.
Coinbase has also noted that more types of tokens through other networks could become eligible for recovery in the future, although the calendar for such extensions remains uncertain.
Due to technical constraints and complexities specific to assets, Coinbase does not guarantee that all lost tokens can be recovered via the tools of the platform.
