Coinbase®® Chrome Extension®® | Control Your Crypto.

The Coinbase Chrome Extension is a powerful browser-based wallet that brings the full functionality of the Coinbase Wallet directly into Google Chrome. As a self-custody solution built by one of the most trusted names in the crypto industry, this extension empowers users to store, send, receive, and interact with cryptocurrencies and decentralized apps (dApps) across the Web3 ecosystem—right from their browser.

🔐 Self-Custody Wallet by Coinbase

Unlike the Coinbase Exchange, where Coinbase manages your funds, the Coinbase Chrome Extension is non-custodial. This means you control your own private keys and digital assets. The wallet is created with a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase, which is the only way to restore access if the wallet is lost or moved to a new device.

• You are the only one with access to your crypto.
• Coinbase does not store or manage your recovery phrase.
• This puts you in full control of your financial future.

🌐 Web3 and dApp Integration

With the Coinbase Chrome Extension, you can:

•  Connect instantly to dApps like Uniswap, OpenSea, Aave, Compound, and many more.
•  Approve smart contract interactions and sign blockchain transactions directly from your browser.
•  Access the decentralized internet without relying on centralized platforms.

It’s ideal for NFT collectors, DeFi enthusiasts, and anyone exploring Web3 technology.

💱 Multi-Network and Token Support

Out of the box, the extension supports:

• Ethereum (ETH)
• Polygon (MATIC)
• Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
•   Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism, and other EVM-compatible chains

Users can also add custom blockchains by manually entering RPC details. It supports ERC-20 tokens, ERC-721 NFTs, and ERC-1155 assets, making it versatile for both crypto and NFT holders.

🔄 Token Swaps and Management

The Coinbase Chrome Extension includes a built-in token swap feature that:

• Aggregates prices from decentralized exchanges (DEXs)
• Enables direct token-to-token trades from your wallet
• Lets you control gas fees and slippage settings

You can also:

• Add custom tokens
• View balances in real-time
• Track assets across multiple chains

📲 Mobile and Desktop Syncing

If you already use Coinbase Wallet on mobile, you can sync it with the Chrome extension by scanning a QR code—allowing a seamless experience across your devices.

🛡️ Security Best Practices

• Store your recovery phrase offline
•   Never share your keys or phrase with anyone—even Coinbase support
• Use hardware wallet integration (e.g., Ledger) for an added layer of protection
• Only connect to trusted dApps
