The assets displayed above represent your token holdings across all connected blockchains. This extension is configured to track balances on Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and Base by default. The valuation is calculated using real-time market data sourced from multiple reputable exchanges, ensuring accuracy. **Liquidity is a key factor** in valuation, and less frequently traded tokens may experience greater price volatility. We recommend reviewing the contract addresses for any newly added custom tokens to prevent scams. The primary function of this wallet is to provide a seamless, secure gateway to decentralized applications (dApps) without compromising your private keys. Your 12-word recovery phrase, which grants access to these funds, is encrypted locally and never transmitted to Coinbase servers.
Total estimated words in this block: 150 words. Focus on security and multi-chain functionality is paramount for a modern wallet extension, ensuring the user understands the scope of their digital footprint.

Every activity listed here represents an interaction with a blockchain network, not a traditional bank ledger. Transactions are irreversible once confirmed. The "Swap" function utilizes decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and may involve a small slippage tolerance and varying gas fees, which are paid directly to the network validators, not Coinbase. When you interact with a dApp, a transaction signature request will appear here for your explicit authorization. **Always scrutinize the contract details** before signing, especially the token permissions and the amount of gas requested. Phishing attempts often involve malicious contract approvals designed to drain your wallet over time. This activity log serves as your primary record of external contract interactions. You can click on any transaction to view its full hash and details on the respective block explorer, ensuring total transparency and auditability of your on-chain actions.

Your 12-word seed phrase (also known as a recovery phrase or mnemonic) is the **master key** to your entire cryptocurrency portfolio. Losing this phrase means losing access to your funds forever; sharing it with anyone means they gain instant, unrestricted access. Coinbase Wallet does not, and cannot, store this phrase for you. It is generated locally on your device and never uploaded to any cloud service. We strongly advise that you write it down on paper and store it in multiple secure, physical locations, such as a safe deposit box or a fireproof safe. **Do not save it as a screenshot or a digital file.** The security of your digital assets rests entirely on the confidentiality of this phrase. This concept is fundamental to decentralized finance: control is entirely yours, but so is the responsibility. If you feel your phrase has been compromised, you must immediately transfer all assets to a new, secure wallet generated with a fresh phrase. This irreversible process is the only way to mitigate the risk of ongoing asset depletion.
For added convenience and security, you can enable local biometric authentication (Face ID or fingerprint) to authorize high-value transactions or to unlock the extension after a period of inactivity. We recommend setting the **Auto-Lock Timer** to a maximum of 5 minutes. This feature ensures that even if you leave your browser open, your wallet requires a password or biometric verification to access the sensitive financial interface. You can adjust the transaction value threshold that triggers a mandatory password re-entry in the "Transaction Limits" sub-section. A robust security policy is implemented to protect you from unauthorized access, but it requires active participation from the user. Default security measures include a denial of connection to known malicious URLs, but new threats emerge daily.
The "Connected Sites" panel, accessible via the main menu, allows you to review and revoke the permissions granted to every decentralized application you have ever interacted with. It is crucial to regularly audit this list. Granting a contract permission to spend your tokens is a powerful action, often necessary for staking or swapping, but these permissions persist until manually revoked. If you cease using a particular dApp, you should immediately revoke its token permissions to prevent potential future exploits of that protocol from affecting your funds. **Regular permission auditing is a non-negotiable step** in maintaining long-term wallet security. The principle is simple: grant the minimum required permissions for the shortest possible duration. This proactive approach significantly reduces your attack surface in the vast decentralized ecosystem.
For advanced users and developers, the "Developer Mode" enables access to custom Remote Procedure Call (RPC) configurations. Changing the default RPC endpoint allows you to connect to private nodes or specialized archival nodes, offering greater control over network connectivity and speed. **Warning:** Using an untrusted RPC endpoint can expose you to man-in-the-middle attacks, potentially revealing transaction details or censoring your on-chain activity. Only modify these settings if you fully understand the implications. The default configuration uses highly reliable and secure nodes provided by Coinbase and trusted partners. Furthermore, this mode exposes detailed logging and debugging information in the console for troubleshooting complex smart contract interactions. We only recommend enabling this feature for development and immediate disablement upon completion of testing.
