The Coinbase® Wallet Extension is a powerful tool designed to bring the full functionality of a crypto wallet directly to your browser. With the extension installed, you can easily interact with decentralized applications (dApps), manage your crypto assets, and explore the world of Web3 — all from the comfort of your desktop.
Whether you are sending tokens, connecting to NFT marketplaces, or accessing decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, the Coinbase Wallet Extension makes it seamless and secure.
Getting started is simple. First, download the Coinbase Wallet Extension from your browser’s extension store. It is available for popular browsers such as Chrome and Brave. After installation, you will be prompted to either create a new wallet or import an existing one.
Creating a new wallet involves setting a strong password and securely storing your recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is essential for regaining access to your wallet if you ever lose your device or forget your password. Treat it like the keys to your vault — safe and private.
If you already have a Coinbase Wallet on your mobile device, you can simply link it to your browser extension by scanning a QR code. This keeps your mobile and browser wallets synced for maximum convenience.
Once set up, the Coinbase Wallet Extension gives you direct access to your crypto assets and the decentralized web. You can easily send and receive cryptocurrencies, view your balances, and track your transaction history. The user-friendly interface ensures that even newcomers can navigate the world of crypto effortlessly.
Connecting to decentralized applications is simple. When you visit a dApp that supports Coinbase Wallet, you will see an option to connect using your extension. With just a few clicks, you can start participating in DeFi lending, NFT trading, and gaming platforms.
The extension supports Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains, making it highly versatile for exploring a wide variety of decentralized ecosystems.
Security is a top priority with Coinbase Wallet Extension. Private keys are stored securely on your device and are never shared with Coinbase servers. Additionally, every transaction must be manually approved by you, giving you full control over your crypto activity.
To enhance your wallet's security, it is strongly recommended to enable additional security features like biometric login (if available) and carefully manage your connected dApps.
