GETTING STARTED: WALLET MOBILE APP

Let’s get you set up to use the Coinbase Wallet mobile app. To get started, you
can either create a new self-custody wallet or import an existing wallet using a
12 word recovery phrase from another wallet provider like MetaMask or Trust
Wallet, or even another Coinbase Wallet.

In either case, you’ll need to download the Coinbase Wallet mobile app.


CREATE A NEW WALLET



First, download the mobile app if you haven’t already. 

Step 1: Select “Create a new wallet”.

Step 2: Review and accept the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Step 3: Pick your username. This is how other Wallet users can find you and send
you payments. 

Step 4: Set your username privacy preferences.

Step 5: Choose your preferred security method, biometrics or a passcode. We
recommend biometric authentication.

Step 6: Backup your recovery phrase. Your recovery phrase is the key to your
wallet. Keep this safe, as this is the key to access your wallet and Coinbase
cannot recover this phrase for you

Select “Backup to cloud” or “Backup manually”. If backing up to the cloud,
you’ll be asked to set a password to encrypt your backup. Like your recovery
phrase, keep this password safe, as Coinbase cannot recover it for you.

If you choose to “backup manually”, your recovery phrase will be displayed for
you to write down, or to copy and paste in a secure location. 

Now, re-enter your phrase in order to confirm your backup. 

Step 7: All done - your Coinbase Wallet is ready!


IMPORT OR RECOVER AN EXISTING WALLET

Jump to a wallet that you’d like to import from:

 * MetaMask

 * Trust Wallet

 * Coinbase Wallet

 * Other Wallet

In order to import an existing wallet, you must be able to access the wallet’s
recovery phrase. 

Most wallets have a 12 word recovery phrase, which acts as the key to your
wallet. These words must be kept safe. No wallet provider, including Coinbase,
can recover this 12 word recovery phrase for you. 

Recovery phrases are portable, enabling you to transfer your wallet from one
self-custody wallet provider to another. With Coinbase Wallet, you can import
any wallet that you may have created with another provider such as MetaMask,
Trust Wallet, and others. You can also recover your existing Coinbase Wallet
using a cloud backup or your recovery phrase.

When you import an existing wallet using your recovery phrase into Coinbase
Wallet, you will be able to continue using your wallet across multiple
providers, and any transactions you make will show up in your wallet across all
of your wallet providers. 

While the recovery phrase is portable, the app passcode and/or cloud backup
password that you set for your wallet is provider-specific and will not be
ported over to another provider. Like recovery phrases, passcodes and passwords
cannot be recovered by any wallet provider, including Coinbase Wallet.

Step 2: Open the MetaMask mobile app or browser extension.  Enter in your

Step 4: Copy down your Secret Recovery Phrase. This should be 12 words. Keep
this safe.

Step 5: Open the Coinbase Wallet app, and select “I already have a wallet”. Then
tap “Restore with Recovery Phrase”

Step 6: Enter in the Secret Recovery Phrase that you copied down on Step 5. This
should be 12 words. Keep this safe, as this is the key to access your wallet and
Coinbase cannot recover this phrase for you

Step 7: Select a Wallet username and set your privacy preferences

Step 8: Choose your preferred security method: biometric authentication or a
passcode. Keep your passcode safe, as Coinbase cannot recover this for you

Step 9: All done - your MetaMask wallet has been imported into Coinbase Wallet,
and is ready to use!

Step 8: Choose your preferred security method: biometric authentication or a

FUNDING YOUR COINBASE WALLET

Welcome to the Coinbase Wallet! To start exploring the world of crypto, you’ll
need some tokens in your wallet. You can deposit ETH, DAI, USDC or another
cryptocurrency to get started.

There are a few ways you can do this:

 1. Buy or transfer from Coinbase

 2. Transfer or receive funds from another wallet




TO BUY OR TRANSFER FROM COINBASE

If you already have a Coinbase account, you can purchase crypto directly from
Coinbase to be delivered to your wallet. If you have not signed up for a
Coinbase account, you can sign up for one following the instructions below. 

Step 1: From the wallet tab in your app, select “Buy or transfer” option then
“Buy or Transfer from Coinbase”

Step 2: For users with an existing Coinbase account, select “Connect my Coinbase
account” and follow the instructions. If you do not have an existing account,
select “Sign up for Coinbase” and follow the instructions to create a new
account. 

Step 3: Once your Coinbase account is linked to your wallet app, select “Buy or
transfer” on the success screen.

Step 4: Select the asset you would like to buy or transfer, then the amount you
would like to purchase or transfer. You can designate the amount using USD or in
the crypto denomination.

Step 5: If buying, select an existing payment method, or select “Add debit or
credit card”. If transferring from your available balance in Coinbase, you will
be taken straight to confirm your transaction.

Step 6: Review the details of your transaction and select “Confirm” when ready. 

All done! Your crypto will appear in your wallet shortly after confirmation.


TO TRANSFER OR RECEIVE ASSETS FROM ANOTHER WALLET



Step 1: Select “Receive” from the top section of the Wallet tab in your app. 

Step 2: Select the asset you would like to receive. 

Step 3: Use the QR code, or copy and paste the wallet address into the wallet 

Step 4: In the wallet you would like to send from, follow the instructions to
send an asset. When prompted, use the QR code or copy and paste your wallet
address from your Wallet app as the destination for the send. 

All done! Your assets will appear in your wallet after the standard transaction
confirmations are complete.


TRADE TOKENS USING A DEX





Why limit yourself to the assets supported by the Coinbase Exchange? With our
Trade feature, you can trade any ERC-20 coin for one of over 6,000 available
assets. Here’s how:

Step 1: Make sure you have a balance of the asset you want to trade from. You
can buy or transfer by following the instructions here.

Step 2: In the main wallet tab of your app, select Trade from the top section of
the page. 

Step 3: Select the asset you want to convert from, the asset you would like to
convert to. Designate the amount in USD or in your asset denomination. When
you’re ready, click “Proceed”

Step 4: Review the details on your transaction. When you’re ready, click
“Convert”

All done! Your assets will be traded and updated balances will be displayed in
your wallet after the standard transaction confirmations are complete.


EXPLORE EARNING OPPORTUNITIES





So, you’ve got some crypto in your wallet. Why not earn interest on your assets
while you hodl?

We’ve aggregated some of the lending opportunities so you don’t have to seek out
where to get the most yield for your asset. 

Step 1: Make sure you own some crypto. If you need to purchase some, learn how
here.

Step 2: In the main wallet tab of your app, select “Earn interest on your
crypto” from the Actions section.

Step 3: Choose the coin you want to earn interest on. If you do not currently
have a balance of that coin, you can buy or transfer some after selection. 

Step 4: Choose a provider based on your desired interest rate (APR).

Step 5: Designate the amount you would like to earn interest on in USD or your
crypto denomination.

Step 6: Review the transaction details, and when you’re ready, press the “Lend”
button

That’s it! You are officially earning interest on your crypto. You can review
how much you have lent and your lifetime interest at any time by selecting the
“Earn interest on your crypto” action on the wallet tab.


BROWSE NFTS



Crypto is great, but it’s not much to look at. In this guide we’ll explore the
world of NFTs and learn how to use our Wallet app to browse, bid, buy and sell. 

Step 1: Open your wallet app and navigate to the dapps browser tab (center
tab). 

Step 2: Type in the url of your favorite NFT platform in the search bar. If you
don’t have a favorite platform yet, get started by checking out popular ones
such as OpenSea or Rarible.

Step 3: From there, it's your world to explore. You can use the NFT platform you
chose to filter, search, view collections, and more. 

If you find something you like, you can place a bid or try to buy it directly.
Your wallet and balances are connected directly through the browser for use on
the site of your choice. Just make sure you have the right asset available for
the auction and any network fees.

Ready to sell? You can use your platform of choice to list the NFT directly from
your wallet. You can also direct any of the proceeds back to your wallet. 

Before you go, don’t forget to bookmark the site to visit again later.


BOOKMARK YOUR FAVORITE DAPPS



No need to type the URL of your dapps every time—easily bookmark your favorites.

Step 1: Navigate to the dapp browser in your wallet app, and type in the url of
the dapp you’d like to visit.  If you don’t know the dapp’s url, you can search
for its name and find the site in the search results.

Step 2: Open the menu using the three horizontal dots at the top-right of the
browser, and select “Add to bookmarks”.

Step 3: When you’re done using the dapp, use the home icon at the top of the
browser to navigate back to your list of bookmarks.

From here, you can launch all of your bookmarked dapps with the touch of a
finger.


SEND OR RECEIVE CRYPTO


I WANT TO SEND CRYPTO TO ANOTHER WALLET

Step 1: Open your wallet app and select “Send” from the top section of the
wallet tab. 

Step 2: Confirm or select the type of coin you would like to send indicated at
the bottom of the screen.

Step 3: Choose the amount you would like to send in USD or your crypto
denomination, or select MAX to send the maximum amount available.  Press “Next”

Step 3: Now, enter the recipient information.  If you’ve sent crypto to them
before, you may select them from the recent addresses on the page.  If it is
your first time sending to this wallet, you have a few options:

If your recipient is a Coinbase Wallet user, you can enter in their Wallet
username. 

If you have a QR code for the recipient, you can select the QR code symbol to
scan it and populate the recipient wallet address

If you have a wallet address for the recipient, you can enter or paste it into
the search bar.

Step 4: Review the transaction details, including the value and the destination
address, and when ready, press “Send”.

All done!  Your transaction will be completed after the standard network
confirmations. 




I WANT TO RECEIVE CRYPTO FROM ANOTHER WALLET

There are a couple ways of receiving crypto, depending on the wallet where it is
coming from. 

To receive crypto from another Coinbase Wallet, simply provide your username
(you can find it at the top of the wallet tab in your app) to the sender.  They
can enter it into the search recipient field in the send flow.

To receive crypto from a non-Coinbase Wallet, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open your wallet app and select “Receive” from the top section of the
wallet tab. 

Step 2: Select the coin you will be receiving

Step 3: Either have the sender scan the QR code using their wallet, or share
your wallet address using the “Share address” feature on the receive page.

That’s it! Your sender can now send crypto to your wallet.


USING LAYER 2 NETWORKS





Did you know that the Coinbase Wallet app supports multiple Layer 2 networks? 
Layer 2s (L2s) make crypto transactions faster and cheaper than ever, and are a
great way to explore the Metaverse without spending a ton in network fees.  

Step 1: You’ll need to have the crypto you wish to move to an L2 network already
in your wallet.  If not, you can use the buy or transfer instructions to obtain
some.

Step 2: Using the dapp browser tab, navigate to the appropriate L1 to L2 bridge
for the L2 you wish to use.  For example, if you want to use the Polygon
network, you would use the Polygon Bridge.  If you want to use the Avalanche
C-Chain network, you would use the Avalanche Bridge.  Different L2s have
different advantages, dapps, and protocols available, so it helps to research
which network is right for you beforehand. 

Step 3: Bridge your funds from the Ethereum Mainnet L1 to your chosen L2.  Note
that standard L1 network fees apply while bridging.  

Step 4: Navigate to the Settings tab using the gear icon in the bottom right of
your Wallet app, and select “Default Network”.  Change the Default Network to
desired L2 network.

Step 5: Navigate back to your wallet tab, and confirm that your crypto is
present after the transaction confirmations are complete.

You are now ready to use your crypto on an L2!  Use the dapp browser to find
your favorite L2 dapps, then the rest is up to you.  If you need to bridge
assets back to L1, you can use the same bridge that you used to move to the L2.
