Clear answers to help you make informed decisions about browser wallets and Web3.
Visit Coinbase Wallet help ↗What is the Coinbase Wallet Extension?
Coinbase Wallet Extension is a self-custody browser wallet that can connect to decentralized applications and help you manage supported crypto assets. It is separate from the Coinbase exchange account experience.
Is Coinbase Wallet the same as a Coinbase account?
No. Coinbase Wallet is self-custody: you control your wallet credentials and recovery phrase. A Coinbase account is a custodial exchange account. Features, availability, and supported assets differ.
Where should I download the extension?
Start at the official Coinbase Wallet website and follow its extension download link. Confirm the publisher and listing details in your browser’s extension store. Avoid sponsored search results or unsolicited download links.
Can Coinbase recover my wallet if I lose my recovery phrase?
With a self-custody wallet, you are responsible for safeguarding wallet access and recovery information. Never disclose your recovery phrase, and do not enter it into a website or share it with support.
Why should I review dapp permissions?
Wallet connections and transaction approvals can grant access or authorize on-chain actions. Read each request carefully, connect only to sites you trust, and reject requests you do not understand.
