Advanced security

Additional security options, including biometrics, passwords and security locks, providing you with more ways to keep your crypto safe and secure on all your devices.

Transaction transparency

Token approval alerts Malicious dapps often attempt to lure users into granting access to all of their assets. Coinbase Wallet shows you which assets a dapp is requesting access to withdraw, allowing you to make an informed decision before completing a transaction.*

Transaction previews Smart contracts are complicated, but your transactions don’t have to be. Coinbase Wallet shows you an estimate of how your token balances will change before you complete a dapp transaction, providing greater transparency and clarity before you press 'confirm.'*

Enhanced guardrails

Dapp blocklist Coinbase’s industry-leading security team uses a mix of public and private databases to protect you from malicious dapps as you explore web3. If you visit an application that has been identified as dangerous, Coinbase Wallet will warn you before you proceed, helping keep you and your crypto safe.

Spam token management Bad actors have been known to airdrop tokens into users’ wallets with the goal of luring them to a malicious website. Coinbase Wallet hides assets from your home screen that are known to be malicious, and also gives you the ability to report suspicious tokens that appear in your wallet.

Advanced security features

Support for multiple addresses Prefer to keep your assets and web3 identities separate? Coinbase Wallet lets you create multiple sets of Ethereum and Solana addresses, giving you control over what's public and private, and how your assets are managed.

Permission management Coinbase Wallet makes it easy to review and revoke your existing dapp connections, helping you minimize your wallet’s exposure to potential vulnerabilities.

Staying safe

Protect your recovery phrase

Your unique recovery phrase is what gives you access to your assets on the blockchain. For that reason, it’s crucial to store your recovery phrase in a secure location and to never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Learn more.

Consider using a hardware wallet

Hardware wallets can provide an additional layer of security as you explore web3. Coinbase Wallet currently supports up to 15 Ethereum addresses from your Ledger hardware wallet. Learn more.

Double-check wallet addresses

A wallet address is a string of alphanumeric characters that identify the sender or receiver. When sending or receiving funds, always double check to make sure the wallet address is correct. Coinbase Wallet offers free web3 usernames to make it easier for others to remember and send crypto to your wallet. Learn more.

Slow down and pay attention

Scams come in many shapes and sizes these days, so it’s important to slow down and pay attention to details. Look for spelling and grammatical errors, and remember that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Learn more.
