Securely manage crypto, sign dApps, and own your keys — right in your browser.

The Coinbase Wallet extension gives you private-key control and fast access to decentralized apps (dApps) without leaving your browser. Easy setup, hardware wallet support, and built-in security alerts keep your assets safe.

Add to Chrome — Free View on Firefox Supports Ledger & Trezor
Available for Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Works with Ethereum, Bitcoin, and EVM-compatible networks.

Private-key ownership

Be in control. The extension stores your encrypted private keys locally and never shares them with third parties. You can export your keys or pair a hardware wallet for extra security.

Seamless dApp access

Connect to DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and web3 games in one click. Approve transactions and sign messages without copying addresses or leaving the browser.

Multi-chain support

Switch networks easily: Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, and other EVM-compatible chains are supported out of the box. Add custom RPC endpoints if needed.

Hardware wallet integration

Pair Ledger or Trezor to keep your keys offline while using the convenience of a browser extension to interact with dApps.

Built-in security checks

Transaction previews, phishing detection, and permission alerts help you avoid malicious sites and accidental approvals.

User-friendly recovery

Back up your wallet with a 12- or 24-word recovery phrase. The onboarding flow guides you through safe storage practices.

How to get started

1

Install the extension

Click "Add to Chrome" (or your browser store) and pin the extension to your toolbar for quick access.

2

Create or restore a wallet

Create a new wallet and securely save your recovery phrase, or restore using an existing phrase. Never share your recovery words.

3

Connect to dApps

Visit a dApp and connect using the Coinbase Wallet extension. Approve only the permissions you trust.

Tips for safety

  • Always verify URLs — phishing sites mimic real dApps.
  • Use hardware wallets for large balances.
  • Keep browser and extension updated.
  • Limit approvals: approve only the exact amount and duration you intend.

Frequently asked questions

Is Coinbase Wallet the same as a Coinbase account?

No. Coinbase Wallet is a non-custodial wallet: you control your private keys. Coinbase the exchange is a custodial service where Coinbase controls the keys on behalf of users.

What happens if I lose my recovery phrase?

If you lose your recovery phrase, you may permanently lose access to your wallet. It cannot be recovered by support teams. Store your phrase offline and in multiple secure locations.

Can I use multiple wallets in the extension?

Yes — you can create multiple accounts and switch between them. Each account has its own keypair and optional label.
