Coinbase Wallet Setup Guide

Coinbase Wallet is a self-custody wallet providing software services subject to Coinbase Wallet Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Coinbase Wallet is distinct from Coinbase.com, and private keys for Coinbase Wallet are stored directly by the user and not by Coinbase. Fees may apply. You do not need a Coinbase.com account to use Coinbase Wallet.

Absolutely, it's crucial to remember this important security rule: Never, under any circumstances, should you share your private key or recovery phrase (also known as a "seed phrase"). Doing so would grant someone complete access to your cryptocurrency holdings.

It's reassuring to know that the authentic PacificSwap website and team will never request you to input your seed phrase. This is a strong indication of their commitment to user security. Always exercise caution and be vigilant about protecting your private keys and seed phrases.
