Web3 is evolving at a rapid pace, transforming from a niche crypto experiment into a global ecosystem of decentralized applications, digital assets, and multichain innovation. To keep up with this evolution, Coinbase Wallet has undergone a complete transformation—reimagined from the ground up to deliver a smoother, more intuitive self-custody experience right in your pocket.
👉 Discover how the new mobile wallet experience is shaping the future of decentralized finance.
A Fresh Start for Self-Custody
The new Coinbase Wallet mobile app is more than an update—it’s a full redesign built with one goal: making web3 accessible to everyone. Since its debut in 2017, Coinbase Wallet has empowered users to take control of their digital assets. Now, with deeper multichain support, improved navigation, and enhanced visual design, the app is better equipped than ever to serve as your gateway to decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and dapps across multiple blockchains.
Whether you're swapping tokens on a decentralized exchange (DEX), exploring new play-to-earn games, or managing your NFT portfolio, the updated interface streamlines every action. Real-time price charts, dark mode by default, and one-tap access to core functions make the experience not only powerful but also enjoyable.
Designed for Simplicity and Speed
At the heart of the redesign are foundational principles of clarity, familiarity, and efficiency. The home screen has been restructured to prioritize quick actions: swap tokens, send or receive crypto, and fund your wallet—all within a single tap.
Funding your wallet is now easier than ever. You can add Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and hundreds of other assets directly using a debit card or bank transfer—no need to juggle multiple platforms or bridge funds across chains manually.
The new dapp browser brings another major leap forward. Instead of navigating fragmented web3 experiences, users are presented with a curated list of top dapps across all supported networks. Whether you're diving into DeFi protocols like lending platforms or exploring social dapps and blockchain games, discovery is now seamless.
And for the first time, the mobile app includes tab support in the dapp browser. Switch between your favorite apps without losing your session—even when moving across different blockchain networks. Behind the scenes, Coinbase Wallet automatically handles network changes, so you don’t have to.
Built on React Native for Faster Innovation
One of the most significant technical upgrades? The entire app has been rebuilt using React Native. This strategic shift enables faster development cycles and consistent feature rollouts across both the mobile app and the Coinbase Wallet Chrome extension.
This means features that were once exclusive to desktop can now arrive simultaneously on mobile. It also ensures a unified user experience no matter which platform you use—bridging the gap between desktop exploration and on-the-go management.

Unified Experience Across Chains and Assets
The new Coinbase Wallet supports a growing number of blockchains—including Ethereum, Polygon, and now Solana—making it one of the most versatile self-custody wallets available. With full support for SOL and SPL tokens, users can manage their Solana-based assets without needing a separate wallet.
This multichain capability extends to NFTs as well. The NFT collection feature allows you to view, organize, and send your Ethereum and Polygon NFTs with ease. Monitor floor prices, share digital collectibles with friends, or hide spammy airdropped tokens that clutter your wallet—giving you full control over what you see.
For DeFi enthusiasts, the new DeFi portfolio tab provides real-time insights into your deposits, balances, and positions—starting with Ethereum, with more networks on the way. Combined with real-time price charts, you can track market movements and make informed decisions without leaving the app.
With support for 25 languages and multiple local currencies, Coinbase Wallet is breaking down language and geographic barriers—bringing self-custody to billions around the world.
What’s Next for Web3 on Mobile?
The rollout of the new Coinbase Wallet mobile app begins today across iOS and Android platforms. If you already have the app installed, simply update it via the App Store or Google Play to access the latest features.
Migrating your existing wallet? You can import your Ethereum or Solana-based self-custody wallet from any other app or extension—no network fees required. Your private keys remain under your control at all times.
As web3 continues to expand, tools like Coinbase Wallet play a crucial role in simplifying complexity and empowering users. This redesign isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about building a foundation for the next generation of decentralized experiences.
