1

Download the App

Install Coinbase Wallet from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). You can also use the Chrome extension for desktop.

Create Your Wallet

Open the app and select "Create new wallet." You'll be given a 12-word recovery phrase. Write it down and store it securely.

Secure Your Recovery Phrase

This is the most important step! Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Store it offline in a secure location.

4

Add Cryptocurrency

Fund your wallet by purchasing crypto through Coinbase or transferring assets from another wallet or exchange.

5

Send & Receive Crypto

Use your wallet address to receive crypto. To send crypto, enter the recipient's address and confirm the transaction.

Explore dApps

Connect to decentralized applications (dApps) for trading, lending, gaming, and other Web3 experiences.

Important Tips for Beginners

  • Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Coinbase will never ask for it.
  • Start with a small amount until you're comfortable with the process.
  • Double-check addresses before sending crypto - transactions are irreversible.
  • Enable additional security features like biometric authentication.
  • Keep your app updated to ensure you have the latest security patches.
