Setting Up Coinbase Wallet Browser Extension:

1. Visit the Extension Store:

   • Open your web browser (e.g., Chrome or Firefox) and navigate to the extension store specific to your browser. For Chrome, this is the Chrome Web Store; for Firefox, it's the Add-ons website.

2. Search for Coinbase Wallet:

   • In the extension store, use the search bar to look for "Coinbase Wallet." Alternatively, you can visit Coinbase's official website or documentation for a direct link to the extension.

3. Install the Extension:

   • Click on the Coinbase Wallet extension in the search results to access its page. Then, click on the "Add to Chrome" (or equivalent) button to install the extension.

4. Open Coinbase Wallet Extension:

   • After installation, you'll see the Coinbase Wallet icon in your browser's toolbar. Click on this icon to open the Coinbase Wallet extension.

5. Create a New Wallet:

   • If you don't have a Coinbase Wallet, the extension will guide you through the process of creating one.

   • Set up a secure passphrase for your wallet. Ensure it's strong and kept confidential.

   • Coinbase will likely provide you with a recovery phrase. Save this recovery phrase in a secure and offline location.

6. Import Existing Wallet (Optional):
