Overview
The Coinbase Wallet Extension is a browser plugin that enables you to interact securely with decentralized applications (dApps), manage your cryptocurrency assets, and perform blockchain transactions directly within your browser. It acts as a bridge between your browser and the Ethereum blockchain (and other compatible networks), allowing seamless decentralized finance (DeFi), NFT interaction, and crypto transfers.
Unlike the Coinbase exchange account, the Wallet Extension provides a non-custodial wallet experience, meaning you have full control of your private keys and assets without relying on a centralized service. This empowers users with enhanced privacy, security, and control.
Compatible with popular browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Brave, the Coinbase Wallet Extension integrates smoothly with your favorite dApps and Web3 platforms.
