Verify your wallet to unlock onchain experiences

Coinbase Verifications leverage the Ethereum Attestation Service to enable the issuance of Coinbase-verified, onchain attestations. Initially, you’ll be able to verify that you have a valid Coinbase trading account (also optionally your country of residence). These verifications can be tied to any self-custodial Ethereum (aka “EVM”) wallet address and are non-transferrable to other addresses. Once verified, you can use your verified wallet address to access onchain services and benefits that require having a verified status.

To verify your wallet, sign in to your Coinbase account and navigate here. After we confirm you’re eligible, you can connect your wallet and claim your verification.

Verification serves as a trusted badge in the onchain ecosystem, and grants you access to a growing list of onchain apps and benefits. Initial benefits include a badge in the Base’s Guild and access to the private #verified-coinbase-users channel in Base’s Discord. In the future the attestation will provide access to gasless transactions and more participating apps on Base. See a list of upcoming apps here.

When you verify, the only information shared onchain is that your wallet address is associated with a verified Coinbase trading account. Optionally, you can also choose to attest to your country of residence, which may be required to gain access to certain apps. No other personal information is shared. Rest assured, nothing will ever be published onchain without your consent. Please note that if your verification status or country of residence changes, we will automatically reissue your verification to reflect these changes.

Yes, you can revoke your verification at any time. This means your verification will no longer link to your wallet. However, onchain records will still indicate that the verification was associated with that wallet at one point in time.

To get verified, users must have an active Coinbase account that has completed all applicable identity verification steps required to trade crypto and is not subject to any restrictions that would prevent them from buying, selling, and/or converting crypto on the Coinbase retail platform.
