The process of loading cryptocurrencies into your wallet is supposed to be simpler with the new tool from Coinbase.

You can use the Coinbase Pay extension for the Chrome browser. If you use the extension for the first time, you will have to connect your wallet to your account. You can add funds by selecting the button. You can choose the currency you want to add to your wallet, enter the amount, and finalize the transaction from there.

Previously, the only way to add coins to your wallet was to log in to the website, purchase the coins, and then use your wallet address to transfer the funds. It just seems a whole lot more convenient that this new tool eliminates the possibility of making an error when entering your address and potentially sending it to another address as a result.

Users can now pay for NFTs with Mastercard, thanks to the push by Coinbase to make it more accessible to the general population. Password manager 1Password is one of the companies that has been trying to appeal to beginners, with it providing an easier way for users to store their wallet information, something that newbies often don't know what to do with.
