Discover a smarter, safer, and more connected way to interact with crypto assets directly from your browser. The Coinbase Extension® bridges your wallet, decentralized apps, and digital identity into one streamlined experience.
The Coinbase Extension® is a browser-based crypto wallet extension designed to give users direct control over their digital assets while maintaining seamless access to decentralized applications. Unlike traditional web wallets, the extension lives inside your browser, enabling quick approvals, instant balance visibility, and secure interactions without repeatedly logging in.
It supports a growing ecosystem of blockchain networks, tokens, and Web3 applications, making it suitable for beginners exploring crypto as well as advanced users navigating DeFi, NFTs, and on-chain governance.
Coinbase Extension® acts as your digital bridge — connecting blockchain networks, smart contracts, and your identity in a secure, user-controlled environment.
Browser extensions simplify Web3 interactions by keeping wallet functionality close to where users actually browse, trade, and explore. This reduces friction while improving transparency.
With Coinbase Extension®, users gain a consistent interface across supported sites. Instead of juggling multiple platforms, the extension becomes a unified command center for crypto activity, allowing you to approve actions, review data, and manage assets with confidence.
Coinbase Extension® is available for modern browsers that support extension-based wallets. Ensure your browser is updated to the latest version for optimal performance and security.
Once installed, the extension icon appears near your browser address bar, giving you instant access to wallet features at any time.
You can create a new wallet or import an existing one using a recovery phrase. This ensures continuity across devices while maintaining user ownership.
Security is a foundational principle of the Coinbase Extension®. Private keys are generated and stored locally, meaning users remain in full control of their funds. The extension never shares sensitive information without explicit approval.
Users are encouraged to enable additional safeguards such as strong passwords, device-level protections, and secure backups of recovery phrases.
One of the most powerful features of Coinbase Extension® is its ability to connect seamlessly with decentralized applications. When visiting a compatible Web3 site, the extension automatically detects connection requests and prompts users for approval.
This connection model ensures that users maintain visibility and control over which applications can interact with their wallet. Permissions can be reviewed or revoked at any time from the extension dashboard.
Coinbase Extension® provides real-time visibility into balances, transaction history, and pending actions. Users can send, receive, and monitor assets without leaving their browser.
Transaction details are clearly displayed, helping users understand fees, network activity, and confirmation status before approving any action.
Transparency at every step helps users make informed decisions in a rapidly evolving blockchain environment.
Whether you are new to crypto or an experienced Web3 participant, Coinbase Extension® adapts to your needs. Beginners benefit from guided flows and clear explanations, while advanced users appreciate fine-grained control and fast access to decentralized tools.
This balance between simplicity and power makes the extension a versatile companion for everyday crypto use.
