The Coinbase Extension® is the browser-based gateway that brings the full functionality of Coinbase’s trusted crypto ecosystem directly into your Chrome browser.

Here are the core features and benefits of using Coinbase Extension®:
🔐 Secure Wallet Functionality
The Coinbase Extension® acts as a self-custodial wallet. This means you own your private keys, not Coinbase. Security is paramount, and the wallet is designed with industry-standard encryption protocols and biometric authentication (when paired with your mobile device). Every transaction requires your approval, keeping your assets in your control.
🌐 Direct dApp Access
With the rise of DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and blockchain gaming, accessing Web3 has never been more important. The Coinbase Extension® enables instant connection to dApps like Uniswap, Aave, OpenSea, Compound, and more. No need to copy-paste addresses—just open your favorite platform, and connect in a click.
💱 Multi-Chain Support
The Coinbase Extension® supports Ethereum, Polygon, Base, and other EVM-compatible networks. This allows you to manage a diverse portfolio of crypto assets and interact with protocols across different blockchains—all from a single wallet interface.
🔄 Seamless Integration with Coinbase App
Already using the Coinbase mobile or web app? Good news—Coinbase Extension® syncs seamlessly. You can import your Coinbase Wallet, view balances, send assets, or approve transactions from your phone, creating a cross-platform crypto experience.
🎨 NFT Management
NFTs aren’t just art—they're your digital identity. With Coinbase Extension®, you can view, send, and manage your NFTs right in your browser. It supports Ethereum-based and Polygon-based NFTs and is constantly expanding its compatibility.
