A growing number of Coinbase customers are voicing their frustrations over unresolved issues involving the now-defunct Web3 wallet. Funds have been inaccessible since December 2024 for some, as Coinbase appears unwilling or unable to assist.
The problems began when users noticed restrictions on their accounts, locking their funds. A user who reported the situation detailed their recent interactions with both Coinbase and a third-party service, Flexa, which seems to have provided more clarity and assistance. This user stated, "Flexa has been more helpful in every way," contrasting sharply with Coinbase's lackluster support.
Flexa's latest communication indicated that their attempts to resolve the issueβrelying on the now unsupported TransferByPartition methodβcame to a halt due to Coinbase's withdrawal of support. They advised users to reach out again to Coinbase, urging for escalation to a specialized team that can potentially resolve the issues. This dependency leaves customers frustrated, as they question what more they can do to retrieve their locked Amp tokens.
Feedback from users on social platforms is overwhelmingly negative. Many feel abandoned; others outright criticize Coinbase's lack of communication and transparency. This sentiment echoes the user's quote, "If we had known that Coinbase would ever disable their Web3 Wallet in this way, we certainly would have tried to discourage its use."
Despite calls for accountability, many users express concerns over the lack of robust responses from Coinbase's support team. A recurring theme is the belief that users should not have to navigate such challenges when dealing with online wallets, especially with funds tied up for months on end. In light of this, it raises the question: are financial platforms living up to their responsibility toward users?

Coinbase's apparent disengagement from users facing these issues raises critical concerns about user security and operational integrity. As these events unfold, customers are left waiting for a resolution that seems increasingly elusive.
