Securely explore Web3, NFTs, and DeFi from your browser
The Coinbase Wallet Extension is a browser-based crypto wallet that allows users to interact with decentralized applications (dApps), manage NFTs, and perform token swaps directly from Chrome. Itβs a self-custody wallet, meaning users retain full control over their private keys and recovery phrases.
To get started, visit the Chrome Web Store and click βAdd to Chrome.β Once installed, you can either create a new wallet or import an existing one using a 12-word recovery phrase from wallets like MetaMask or Trust Wallet.
While the extension is designed for Chrome, Coinbase also offers a mobile version of its wallet. You can sync your wallet across devices for seamless access. For setup and syncing instructions, visit Coinbase Wallet Help.
Unlike centralized exchanges, the Coinbase Wallet Extension is self-custodial. This means you are responsible for storing your recovery phrase securely. Coinbase cannot recover your wallet if you lose access, so itβs crucial to back up your phrase in a secure location.
