Coinbase® Chrome Extension® | Getting Started®

🧩 Coinbase Wallet Chrome Extension is a self-custody crypto wallet built for browser-based access to Web3. Unlike the main Coinbase app—which is a centralized exchange—the extension gives you full control over your private keys and digital assets2.

🚀 What You Can Do with the Extension

• Connect to dApps: Interact with platforms like Uniswap, OpenSea, and Compound directly from your browser.
• Store & Transfer Crypto: Manage Ethereum, ERC-20 tokens, and NFTs securely.
• Swap Tokens: Use integrated decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to trade assets without leaving the extension.
• Multichain Support: Access networks like Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Base.
• Sync Across Devices: Seamlessly link your mobile Coinbase Wallet with the browser extension.

🛠️ Getting Started

1. Install the Extension: Visit the Chrome Web Store listing and click “Add to Chrome.”
2. Create or Import a Wallet:
   • New users: Generate a wallet and receive a 12-word recovery phrase.
   • Existing users: Import using your recovery phrase from MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or Coinbase Wallet.
3. Secure Your Wallet: Write down your recovery phrase and store it offline. Set a strong password for local access.
4. Claim Your Web3 Username: Optional, but helps others find and send crypto to you.
5. Start Exploring: Connect to dApps, manage tokens, and dive into DeFi and NFTs.

🔐 Safety Tips

• Never share your recovery phrase—Coinbase cannot recover it for you.
• Double-check URLs to avoid phishing.
• Use hardware wallets like Ledger for added protection.
