Get started
Disclaimer: This page is a user guide and illustration. The Coinbase Extension's security depends on correct use. We do not provide financial advice. Always verify official sources, keep backup seeds offline, and never share your private keys or recovery phrase. Using browser extensions exposes you to phishing risks; only install official releases from trusted stores.

Quick setup

  1. Install the official extension from your browser's web store or the official Coinbase site.
  2. Create a new wallet or import an existing wallet using your recovery phrase (store this offline).
  3. Complete the optional PIN and biometric setup for quick access and additional local encryption.
  4. Review site permissions before connecting to dApps; use per-site approvals and time-limited sessions when possible.
