Unfortunately, the news does not give any technical details about what this tool is and how it differs from the traditional methods.
it seems that the process is not done manually as it was in the past, but it is still central in the sense that the tool verifies that the assets are with Coinbase and different assets are sent to your wallet (not the same assets that you deposited.)
Our recovery tool is able to move unsupported assets directly from your inbound address to your self-custodial wallet without exposing private keys at any point. We did this by using patent pending technology to send the funds directly from your inbound address without processing the funds through our centralized exchange infrastructure.
Is it the one that confused me? They mention that your private key is not disclosed, and yet the money can be sent from your address. without the need for a central structure. HOW
