Wallet Overview
The Coinbase Wallet Extension is a powerful, self-custody cryptocurrency wallet that runs directly in your web browser. It serves as your gateway to the decentralized web (Web3), allowing you to securely store, manage, and transact with digital assets like cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Unlike a traditional Coinbase account, the extension gives you full control over your private keys, meaning you are the sole owner of your funds. Its primary purpose is to bridge the gap between the traditional web and blockchain-based applications (DApps), enabling seamless interaction with DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and more.
