These DApps cover a wide range of functionalities, from decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to blockchain-based games and services.

  5. Security: Coinbase Wallet incorporates security features such as biometric authentication and encrypted private key storage to help keep users' funds safe.

  6. Interoperability: The wallet supports a variety of cryptocurrencies and tokens, allowing users to manage a diverse range of assets in one place.
