Coinbase Chrome Extension — Wallet & Web3 Gateway
Securely access your Coinbase Wallet from the browser: connect to dApps, sign transactions, swap tokens, and manage your portfolio — without leaving the page.
What the Coinbase Extension does
It gives a lightweight, browser-native wallet experience that pairs with Coinbase Wallet or works standalone. Use it to sign in to decentralized applications, approve transactions securely, and quickly swap tokens with optimized routing.
Quick access
Open the extension, view balances, approve txs, and switch networks without opening a separate app.
Advanced controls
Manage gas, set custom nonces, and view tx history for advanced users and developers.
Security & privacy
Keys are encrypted locally in your browser profile; Coinbase Extension does not store private keys on remote servers. Enable biometric unlock (where supported), PIN protection, and always verify dApp requests before approving.
- Local encryption & hardware wallet support
- Transaction previews & permission scoping
- Phishing protection & recommended dApp lists
Frequently asked questions
Is this the official Coinbase Wallet extension?
Always download from the official Chrome Web Store page and verify the developer as "Coinbase". Avoid third-party downloads and check the extension permissions before installing.
Can I connect hardware wallets?
Yes — Ledger and other supported hardware wallets can be used to sign transactions via the extension for added security.
How do swaps work?
The extension uses integrated aggregators to route swaps across liquidity sources to optimize price and reduce slippage. Network fees still apply.
