Coinbase Wallet Extension: Your Gateway to Web3

Coinbase Wallet extension is a self-custody crypto wallet that puts you in control of your digital assets directly from your browser. Unlike the custodial Coinbase exchange, this wallet stores private keys locally on your device, giving you true ownership.

What You Can Do

The extension unlocks the entire world of decentralized finance, NFTs, and DApps. You can explore the decentralized web, trade thousands of tokens on DEXes, and connect to thousands of applications across Ethereum and all EVM-compatible networks including Avalanche, Polygon, and BNB Chain. It also supports sending and receiving Solana and SPL tokens.

For users seeking enhanced security, the extension integrates seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets. Simply connect your device, open the Ethereum app, and sign a message to link your Ledger address.

Getting Started

New users can create a wallet in minutes by copying down a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase and setting a password. Existing users can import wallets from MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Phantom, or other providers by entering their recovery phrase.

Funding your wallet is straightforward. You can buy crypto directly, transfer assets from your Coinbase account, or send from external wallets.

Disclaimer

Your Secret Recovery Phrase is the only way to recover your wallet. Coinbase cannot recover it for you. Store it safely offline and never share it with anyone. This is a self-custody wallet—you alone bear responsibility for securing your assets. Crypto transactions are irreversible, and you should conduct your own research before interacting with any DApp or smart contract. Availability may vary by jurisdiction.
