Coinbase Wallet: Your Gateway to the Crypto Universe

Introduction to Coinbase Wallet

Coinbase Wallet is a secure, self-custody crypto wallet that gives you full control over your digital assets. Unlike the Coinbase exchange, Coinbase Wallet lets you store, trade, and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) while keeping your private keys in your hands.

Key Features:

✅ Self-Custody – You own your private keys ✅ Multi-Chain Support – Store Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, and more ✅ dApp Browser – Access DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 apps ✅ Easy Swaps – Trade tokens directly in the wallet ✅ Cross-Platform – Available on mobile (iOS/Android) and browser extension

How to Set Up Coinbase Wallet

Step 1: Download the App or Extension

• Mobile: Get it on the App Store or Google Play
• Browser Extension: Install from the Chrome Web Store

Step 2: Create a New Wallet

1. Open the app/extension and tap "Create a new wallet"
2. Write down your 12-word recovery phrase (this is your backup key)
3. Store it securely offline (never share it!)
4. Confirm your recovery phrase by re-entering the words

⚠️ Warning: Losing your recovery phrase means losing access to your funds forever.

Step 3: Secure Your Wallet

• Set up a strong password or biometric lock (Face ID, fingerprint)
• Enable transaction previews to prevent malicious approvals
