The vehicle for reconciliation is the newly relaunched Base App, which replaces the old Coinbase Wallet with something far more ambitious: an integrated platform combining trading, earning, social features, and discovery tools.

What the Base App actually does

The Base App launched in April 2026 as what Coinbase is calling an “everything app” for onchain activity. Users get real-time trading capabilities, communication tools, and access to DeFi and social onchain features, all bundled into a single self-custody interface.

Users holding USDC in their self-custody wallets within the Base App can earn up to 3.35% APY in rewards, with no lockups and remaining liquid and accessible.
