Account/Wallet
Overview
Coin App uses Coinbase Smart Wallet technology to provide a secure and simple way to trade on-chain. Your wallet lives directly within the Coin App app - no extensions or additional apps are needed.
The smart wallet is an on-chain wallet powered by smart contracts. Unlike traditional crypto wallets, you do not have to download additional mobile applications or browser extensions to use smart wallets.
Signing up and logging in to your smart wallet within Coin App is a similar experience to logging into a familiar web2 application such as a centralized exchange.
