Why Coinbase Smart Wallet?

Interoperability Across the Ecosystem The Coinbase Smart Wallet allows you to seamlessly log in to multiple Web3 platforms. This interoperability means you can manage your digital assets and interact with various services without the hassle of juggling multiple wallets or accounts.

No Downloads Needed

One of the standout features of the Coinbase Smart Wallet is that it's pre-installed and accessible directly from your browser. There's no need to download additional applications or extensions, making your onboarding process smoother and more straightforward.

Enhanced Security

Security is paramount in the digital world. Unlike custodial wallets that tie your funds to an email address, the Coinbase Smart Wallet uses Passkeys for authentication. This method enhances security by ensuring your funds are protected through a decentralized system, giving you full control over your assets.

What About magic.link?

We understand that some of you may prefer the familiarity of magic.link. Rest assured, you can still log in using your email with magic.link if you choose. Our goal is to provide flexibility while encouraging a shift towards more advanced and secure technologies.
