TL;DR: The Coinbase Wallet mobile app has been completely redesigned from the ground up to offer a more intuitive, visually compelling, and user-friendly experience. With expanded multichain support including Solana, one-tap access to DeFi positions, real-time price charts, and dark mode by default, the new app brings powerful web3 tools directly into your pocket.
A Fresh Start for Self-Custody
Since its debut in 2017, Coinbase Wallet has empowered users to take full control of their digital assets. As web3 evolves into a dynamic, multichain ecosystem, the need for a seamless, unified self-custody experience has never been greater. Today marks a major milestone: the launch of an entirely rebuilt mobile app designed specifically for the future of decentralized finance, NFTs, and dapp interaction.
This new version isn’t just a visual refresh—it’s a complete reimagining built with modern architecture and user-first design principles. From onboarding to daily use, every interaction is smoother, faster, and more intuitive.
👉 Discover how easy self-custody can be with advanced web3 tools at your fingertips.
Designed for Simplicity and Speed
The new Coinbase Wallet mobile app prioritizes ease of use without sacrificing functionality. The home screen now features quick-action buttons that allow you to swap tokens on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), send or receive crypto, and instantly fund your wallet using a debit card or bank transfer—all in just one tap.
Support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and hundreds of other assets ensures you can manage your entire portfolio in a single interface. No more switching between apps or managing fragmented balances across chains.
Built-In DApp Browser with Tab Support
Exploring decentralized applications has never been easier. The redesigned dapp browser offers:
- A curated list of top dapps across all supported networks
- Tabbed browsing, allowing seamless switching between multiple dapps
- Automatic network switching when moving between apps on different blockchains
Whether you're diving into DeFi protocols, playing web3 games, or engaging with social platforms, the browser keeps your experience fluid and interruption-free.
Dark Mode by Default — Because Users Asked
Following the success of dark mode in the main Coinbase app, user feedback made it clear: dark interfaces aren't just stylish—they reduce eye strain and improve readability in low-light environments.
That’s why the new Wallet app launches with dark mode enabled by default, offering a sleek, modern look that aligns with today’s mobile design standards. You can still switch to light mode if preferred, but most users find dark mode enhances both comfort and focus during extended use.
Powering Innovation with React Native
Behind the scenes, a key technical shift enables faster innovation: the entire app has been rebuilt using React Native. This decision allows the team to ship new features simultaneously across both the mobile app and browser extension, eliminating delays and ensuring feature parity.
This unified development approach means future updates—like enhanced NFT management, cross-chain swaps, or improved security tools—will reach users faster than ever before.
Feature Parity, Then Some: What’s New?
While the Wallet extension has long offered advanced capabilities, many of these were missing from the mobile experience—until now. The redesigned app bridges that gap and introduces several powerful new features:
✅ NFT Collection Management
Easily manage your Ethereum and Polygon-based NFTs. View floor prices, transfer collectibles to friends, and hide spammy airdropped assets to keep your collection clean and organized.
✅ Native Solana Support
Send, receive, and store SOL and SPL tokens directly in your wallet. With full Solana integration, there's no need to juggle multiple wallets for multichain activity.
✅ DeFi Portfolio Dashboard
A dedicated DeFi tab on the home screen gives instant visibility into your deposits, yields, and active positions on Ethereum—with support for additional networks rolling out soon.
✅ Real-Time Price Charts
Stay ahead of market movements with live price charts for thousands of cryptocurrencies. Make informed trading decisions without leaving the app.
✅ Global Accessibility
Support for 25 languages and multiple local currencies makes self-custody accessible to users worldwide—bringing web3 to billions who previously faced language or financial barriers.
