Manage crypto, NFTs, and DeFi safely in your browser with the official Coinbase Wallet Extension.
The Coinbase Wallet Extension provides a seamless, secure interface for users to interact with decentralized applications (dapps) directly from their browser. Self-custody ensures that private keys remain under your control, giving you full ownership of digital assets.
From trading tokens to collecting NFTs, the extension integrates multiple Web3 functionalities in one lightweight browser tool. This guide will walk you through the features, workflows, and security best practices, helping you navigate the decentralized ecosystem confidently.
Interact with Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and more, all from one interface. Easily switch networks for seamless Web3 access.
View, store, and manage your collectibles. Connect to marketplaces to buy, sell, or display NFTs securely.
Access decentralized exchanges, lending, staking, and liquidity protocols directly from the browser extension.
All keys and recovery phrases are stored locally, ensuring your assets remain under your control without third-party custody.
Installing the Coinbase Wallet Extension is straightforward. Add it to your preferred browser, then either create a new wallet or import an existing one using your recovery phrase. Use a strong password and consider pairing with a hardware wallet for additional security.
Pro Tip: Always double-check dapp URLs before approving any transaction or signature request.
Owning your keys comes with responsibility. Follow these security measures to minimize risk:
Understanding how to interact with dapps and manage assets is crucial. Typical workflows include:
Click "Connect Wallet" on a trusted site, select the account, and approve permissions carefully.
Swap tokens across networks, monitor gas fees, and confirm transactions in the extension popup for security.
Sign transactions for buying, selling, or transferring NFTs while keeping keys secure in your wallet.
Participate in lending, liquidity pools, and staking directly through supported dapps with one-click authorization.
Is this the same as Coinbase Exchange? No. The extension is a self-custody wallet, giving you full control of your assets, unlike the custodial exchange account.
Can I use it on multiple devices? Yes. Import your wallet using the recovery phrase on each device.
Are NFTs supported? Absolutely. You can view, trade, and manage collectibles safely.
How do I recover my wallet? Use your recovery phrase in the extension to restore your wallet on any compatible device.
