Secure Browser-Based Cryptocurrency Management
The Coinbase Wallet Extension is a browser-based application that allows you to securely manage cryptocurrencies, access decentralized applications (dApps), and interact with Web3 services directly from your browser. Unlike centralized exchanges, your private keys remain in your control, giving you complete ownership of your digital assets.
It provides a convenient and secure way to connect to blockchain networks without leaving your browser, combining ease-of-use with industry-leading security features.
Visit your browser’s official extension store and search for “Coinbase Wallet Extension.” Download and install the extension.
After installation, click the extension icon in your browser toolbar. Choose either “Create a new wallet” or “Import existing wallet” depending on your needs.
Set a strong password and write down your 12 or 24-word recovery phrase offline. This phrase is the only way to restore access if you lose your device.
The Coinbase Wallet Extension enables seamless integration with decentralized applications.
Click “Receive” in the extension, copy the wallet address, and verify it before sharing. Funds sent to this address will appear in your Coinbase Wallet Extension.
Click “Send,” enter the recipient address and amount, then confirm the transaction. The extension will sign the transaction securely with your private key.
The Coinbase Wallet Extension provides a secure, convenient gateway to Web3 and decentralized finance directly from your browser. By following the installation and security guidelines, you can safely send, receive, and interact with cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications without compromising control of your private keys.
