What Coinbase asks in the DSA round

Coinbase runs a practical loop — you build a small working service — alongside medium DSA and a design round on order books, ledgers and idempotency.

Across the 15 questions on this page, the weight sits on these patterns:

How to prepare for the Coinbase interview

  1. 1. Start at the top of the list above. The patterns are ordered by how often Coinbase uses them, so the first two or three buy you the most coverage per hour.
  2. 2. Solve by pattern, not at random. Doing eight design problems in a row is what makes the ninth recognisable in an interview — jumping between topics does not.
  3. 3. Tick problems off as you go so the gaps are visible. The per-pattern counts tell you which Coinbase topic you have actually covered.
  4. 4. Write the approach before the code. Coinbase interviews are judged on the reasoning as much as the working solution.
  5. 5. Pair this with the pattern guides when a topic is new, and the system design sheet if the role is senior enough to have that round.
  6. 6. If this is a campus or off-campus drive rather than a lateral move, the placement preparation guide covers the stages around the DSA round — aptitude, core subjects and the HR interview — in the order they actually happen.

Coinbase interview questions — FAQ

How many DSA questions does Coinbase ask?

This sheet collects 15 Coinbase interview questions, grouped into 8 patterns. They are questions reported as actually asked in Coinbase interviews, and each one carries how recently it was reported so you can practise the current set first.

Which topics should I focus on for a Coinbase interview?

Trie, Design, Binary Search come first — the patterns on this page are ordered by how often Coinbase leans on them, so working top-down spends your time where the interview actually is. The full order is Trie, Design, Binary Search, Simulation, Dynamic Programming, Hash Table.

How long does it take to finish the Coinbase sheet?

At roughly 25 minutes per problem — reading it, solving it and writing the approach down — 15 problems is about 6 hours, or 1 weeks at ten hours a week. Most people do not need all of it: the first two or three patterns cover the majority of what gets asked.

Is this Coinbase question sheet free?

Yes. Every problem, the pattern grouping and the progress tracking are free and need no account. Progress saves in your browser, and signing in with Google only adds syncing across devices.

Can I track which Coinbase questions I have solved?

Yes — tick a problem on this page and it stays ticked. The counts per pattern update as you go, so you can see which of Coinbase's topics you have actually covered rather than guessing.
