What is the Coinbase Wallet Extension?

The Coinbase Wallet Extension is a secure browser-based wallet that enables users to interact with decentralized apps (dApps) and manage crypto directly from their desktop browser. Built by Coinbase, it offers seamless integration with Web3 platforms and supports Ethereum, Layer 2 networks, NFTs, DeFi, and more.

It works as a self-custodial wallet, meaning only you control your private keys and funds. Whether you're minting NFTs, swapping tokens, or connecting to a DAO, the Coinbase Wallet Extension provides a smooth and secure experience across the decentralized internet.
