Coinbase Wallet allows you to easily store and use your digital currencies. It offers several options for storing digital currency, including the ability to purchase and sell from within the app. To get started, download and install the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Once installed, open it up and tap Continue at the bottom of this page.
Download and install the Coinbase Wallet app.
- Download and install the Coinbase Wallet app from either Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
- Open up the app, sign in with your Coinbase account and start using it to send, receive and store Bitcoin!
Locate the QR code by tapping Receive on the main wallet tab.
Now we will show you how to locate the QR code by tapping Receive on the main wallet tab.
Tap Receive.
Locate the QR code. This is a unique string of numbers and letters that represents your wallet address and allows others to send you cryptocurrency. The QR code is typically found near your Coinbase name in bold text at the top of your screen, as shown below:
Scan the QR Code to send funds to your wallet.
- Open your wallet.
- You will see a QR code on the screen. The QR code is facing you, and it is highlighted in green. Your camera should be able to scan this code easily, so just point it at the screen and press “Take Snap.”
- Once you have taken a photo of the QR code, Coinbase will automatically open your wallet app and fill in some information for you. It will show both how much money will be sent from your bank account and also which address that money is going towards, which would probably be yours if you’re sending it somewhere else!
Send funds to a third party address.
In this case, you’re sending funds from your Coinbase wallet to another user’s wallet. Here’s how:
- On the account page, click “Send” under “Buy/Sell.”
- Enter the amount of cryptocurrency you want to send in US dollars. A good rule of thumb is to send at least $0.25 worth of cryptocurrency (or more) per transaction fee so that your recipient can receive the full amount they requested and no fees are wasted due to insufficient funds.
- Enter their recipient address as well as a memo if you’d like one
- Click “Confirm,” review all information carefully before proceeding with this transaction
Generate a new wallet address to receive funds at anytime by tapping More Options and then tapping Receive.
If you have a wallet on Coinbase, or any other cryptocurrency exchange, you can always generate a new wallet address to receive funds at anytime by tapping More Options and then tapping Receive. This will generate a new secure address that only you have access to.
You can also tap the QR code icon in the top right corner of your screen to generate a new secure address using your mobile device camera. You can also tap More Options and then tap Receive to generate a new secure address using your computer’s keyboard.
Keep track of your cryptocurrency with a Coinbase wallet.
Coinbase is a secure online platform for buying, selling, transferring, and storing digital currency. The Coinbase Wallet is a free app that lets you buy, sell, send, and receive bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
To get started with your own wallet on the Coinbase app:
- Download it from the App Store or Google Play.
- Create an account by entering your name and email address.
- Set up two-factor authentication (2FA) using text messages or an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy. This adds another layer of security to your account because it requires something you know (your password) plus something you have in order to log in.
If you want to use your cryptocurrency, you can send it from your Coinbase wallet to another address. You can also generate a new one at any time if you want to receive funds at an address that is not already associated with your Coinbase account. The last thing we would recommend is keeping track of all of these transactions so make sure that it is done properly!
