Coinbase Wallet Extension — Secure crypto, right in your browser

Connect to decentralized apps, manage multiple accounts, sign transactions, and store tokens and NFTs — all from a lightweight, privacy-first browser extension.

Why choose the Wallet Extension?

The extension bridges your browser with the decentralized web without exposing your private keys to websites. It provides a fast, familiar interface for sending and receiving crypto, connecting to Web3 apps, and managing hardware or software accounts from one place.

One-click connections

Quickly connect to supported dApps using the industry-standard connection flow. Approve requests manually for full control.

Multi-account support

Create or import multiple accounts so you can separate holdings, testnets, and NFTs easily.

Token & NFT management

View token balances, transaction history, and NFT collections with an intuitive interface designed for collectors and traders.

Install & get started

Installing the Coinbase Wallet Extension is quick. After adding it to your browser, set a secure password and back up your recovery phrase. You can import an existing wallet using a recovery phrase or connect a hardware wallet for enhanced security.

1
Install
Visit the Chrome Web Store (or your browser's extension store) and add the extension. Pin it to your toolbar for easy access.
2
Create or import a wallet
Choose to create a new wallet (generate a new recovery phrase) or import an existing one. Write down the recovery phrase and store it offline.
3
Connect to dApps
When a website requests connection, review permissions and confirm only the operations you trust.

Security & privacy

Security is central to the Wallet Extension. Private keys are stored locally and encrypted with your password. The extension never sends your private keys to remote servers. For added protection, the extension supports hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor, which keep keys offline and require physical confirmation for transactions.

Best practices: never share your recovery phrase, use a strong unique password, and only approve transactions from sites you trust. Regularly review connected sites and revoke permissions you no longer need.

Use cases

The extension is built for everyday Web3 users and power users alike. Common use cases include interacting with decentralized exchanges to trade tokens, connecting to NFT marketplaces to buy or showcase art, participating in DAO governance by signing proposals, and using decentralized finance (DeFi) apps for borrowing and lending. Because the extension supports multiple networks and testnets, developers can also use it during development to test smart contracts and integrations.
