🚀 Coinbase® Wallet ® | Getting Started: Wallet Extension Guide

The Coinbase® Wallet Extension® is a secure, easy-to-use browser tool that gives you direct access to the decentralized world. With the extension, you can manage your digital assets, explore decentralized apps (dApps), interact with NFTs, and participate in DeFi — all from your browser.

Whether you're just starting with crypto or expanding your Web3 experience, this step-by-step guide will help you set up the Coinbase® Wallet Extension® quickly and safely.

🛠️ Step 1: Install the Coinbase® Wallet ®

Here's how to download and install it:

1. Visit the official Coinbase® Wallet page: coinbase.com/wallet
2. Click Download Extension and select your browser (Chrome, Brave, or Edge).
3. Always download from the official Chrome Web Store to avoid fake or unsafe versions.

✅ Pro Tip: Double-check the URL and publisher to make sure you’re installing the authentic Coinbase® Wallet Extension®.

🔐 Step 2: Set Up Your Wallet

When you open the extension, you’ll see two options:

• Create New Wallet: Set up a brand-new wallet with a unique recovery phrase.
• Import Existing Wallet: Use your 12-word recovery phrase to access an existing wallet.

Secure Your Wallet:

✔️ Create a strong, memorable password to lock your wallet. ✔️ Write down your 12-word recovery phrase and store it in a secure, offline location.

⚠️ Important: If you lose your recovery phrase, you will permanently lose access to your wallet and assets. Coinbase® cannot recover it for you.

💸 Step 3: Add Crypto to Your Wallet

You can fund your wallet in three ways:

1. Transfer from Coinbase® Exchange: Move assets from your Coinbase® account to your wallet extension.
2. Receive Crypto: Share your wallet address to receive tokens from another wallet or exchange.
3. Swap Tokens: Use decentralized exchanges (DEXs) within the extension to swap cryptocurrencies directly.

Supported assets include Ethereum (ETH), ERC-20 tokens, and other EVM-compatible tokens.

🌐 Step 4: Connect to dApps and Web3 Services

The Coinbase® Wallet Extension® makes it easy to connect to decentralized platforms like:

• NFT marketplaces: OpenSea, Rarible
• DeFi services: Uniswap, Aave, Compound
• Blockchain games and staking platforms

When visiting a dApp, simply:

• Click Connect Wallet

✔️ You stay in control — approve or reject each connection based on your preferences.
