Secure, Self-Custody Wallet for Web3 & DeFi
The Coinbase Wallet Extension is a browser-based crypto wallet that allows users to securely manage their digital assets, NFTs, and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) directly from their web browser. Designed for Chrome-based browsers like Google Chrome, Brave, and Microsoft Edge, it acts as a gateway to the Web3 ecosystem.
Unlike custodial wallets provided by exchanges, the Coinbase Wallet Extension gives you full control over your private keys and assets. It’s ideal for users looking to engage in DeFi, swap tokens, mint NFTs, or connect to Web3 apps safely and conveniently.
The Coinbase Wallet Extension empowers users with the ability to interact with the decentralized internet while maintaining full ownership of their digital assets. It’s trusted by millions of users and backed by Coinbase — one of the most reputable crypto companies globally.
You’re now ready to connect to dApps, send/receive crypto, and explore Web3 with confidence.
Once installed, the extension acts as your personal key manager and transaction signer. It interacts directly with dApps through injected JavaScript — similar to MetaMask. When you visit a decentralized exchange or NFT platform, the Coinbase Wallet Extension will prompt you to connect and authorize transactions securely.
All private keys are stored locally in your browser and encrypted with your password. Every transaction must be approved manually, preventing unauthorized activity even if your browser is compromised.
