The Coinbase Chrome Extension is a powerful browser-based crypto tool designed to give users secure and seamless access to Web3 applications, decentralized platforms, and digital assets—all directly from Chrome. Whether you’re exploring NFTs, swapping tokens, managing a multi-chain portfolio, or interacting with DeFi protocols, the Coinbase Chrome Extension makes the entire experience smooth, safe, and fast.
Created for both beginners and advanced crypto users, it combines the trusted security of Coinbase with the flexibility of a fully functional Web3 wallet.
The Coinbase Chrome Extension is an official browser plugin that extends the functionality of the Coinbase Wallet to the desktop. Instead of relying solely on the mobile app, this extension allows you to approve transactions, sign messages, connect to dApps, and manage assets right from your browser.
It is built to work with decentralized apps across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Base, Polygon, and other EVM-compatible networks.
With the extension, you can access Web3 experiences without needing to switch devices, making it one of the most convenient ways to explore crypto from your computer.
Your private keys remain encrypted and stored locally on your device. Only you have full control, and all transactions require manual approval.
Whether you’re entering a DeFi platform like Uniswap, browsing NFTs on OpenSea, or using a Web3 game, the extension connects instantly with dApps through WalletConnect or direct integrations.
The Coinbase Chrome Extension supports:
Storing ERC-20 and EVM-compatible tokens
Swapping crypto directly within the wallet
Tracking real-time portfolio balances
View, store, and send NFTs securely. The extension displays NFT metadata, visuals, and transaction history—making it perfect for collectors and creators.
Supported networks include:
Ethereum
Base
Polygon
Arbitrum
Optimism
All EVM-compatible chains
This gives you access to a wide universe of decentralized apps and financial tools.
If you use the mobile Coinbase Wallet, you can pair it with the extension using a QR code, gaining cross-device convenience and fast approvals.
No need to pick up your phone every time you interact with a dApp. Approvals, signatures, and transactions happen right on your desktop.
The extension is backed by Coinbase’s well-established security framework, offering strong encryption, trusted infrastructure, and transparent user control.
Whether you’re staking, lending, swapping, or collecting, the extension provides fast, secure access to every corner of Web3.
The intuitive layout makes navigating your portfolio, assets, and transaction history simple—even for new crypto users.
