The Coinbase Extension provides a seamless gateway to Web3. It empowers users to connect their Coinbase Wallet to decentralized applications, trade digital assets, and securely manage their crypto without leaving the browser. This guide explains how to install, sign in, and use the extension securely.
Visit Coinbase Wallet and choose “Browser Extension.” Available for Chrome, Edge, and Brave, installation takes just a few seconds. Always ensure you download from the official source.
Once setup is complete, you’ll see your assets dashboard directly within your browser.
To log in, click the Coinbase icon in your toolbar. Enter your password to unlock. For additional safety, enable two-factor authentication in your Coinbase account settings.
The Coinbase Extension connects seamlessly to decentralized apps. When prompted by a dApp to “Connect Wallet,” select Coinbase Wallet and approve. You can view permissions before confirming each connection, ensuring complete control.
Coinbase supports Ethereum and other EVM-compatible networks. You can manually add or switch networks from the settings panel. Always verify RPC URLs before connecting.
