In the evolving world of decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and Web3 applications, security and convenience are crucial. The Coinbase® Wallet Extension delivers both, giving users a powerful browser-based tool to manage crypto assets and access decentralized applications (dApps) — all without leaving the web.

Whether you're minting NFTs, swapping tokens, or lending assets on DeFi platforms, the Coinbase Extension acts as your trusted gateway to the decentralized internet, right from your browser.

🔐 What Is the Coinbase® Wallet Extension?

The Coinbase Wallet Extension is a self-custody browser wallet, meaning you’re in complete control of your funds and private keys. Unlike the Coinbase centralized exchange, where Coinbase holds your crypto on your behalf, the browser extension ensures you own your assets entirely.

Available for Chrome, Brave, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers, the extension lets users connect directly to blockchain apps while keeping their crypto secure in a wallet only they control.
