Smart Wallet Requirement
The beta requires a smart wallet. A smart wallet is a passkey-secured, self-custodial onchain wallet that’s embedded in the app. It’s designed for easy onboarding and better user experience—no browser extensions, no app switching.
If you don’t have a smart wallet, you will create one in the onboarding flow for the new beta app.
Checking Your Wallet Type
If you use a passkey to sign onchain transactions, you have a smart wallet. If you have a 12-word recovery phrase backed up somewhere, you use an EOA (externally owned account), not a smart wallet.
From the in-app browser, go to wallet.coinbase.com and log in. If you have a smart wallet, you’ll see it say “smart wallet” in your account details.
