    • ETH transfer: $0.03

    • ERC-20 transfer: $0.06

  • Smart wallets are secured by passkeys stored on the user's device. Passkeys are backed up with passkey providers such as Apple, Chrome, or 1Password, or on hardware such as YubiKeys. Passkey signatures are validated directly onchain via an open source and audited smart contract. Coinbase never holds keys and never has access to user funds.
