Coinbase Wallet announced, in a blog post yesterday, that it now supports short and easy-to-remember cryptocurrency names.
Not to be confused with Coinbase’s main wallet, Coinbase Wallet was designed to let users control their own funds and access decentralized apps (dapps)—although it had to remove this functionality last year.
The Ethereum Name Service was designed to make sending and receiving crypto easier. You take your Ethereum (ETH) address—an alphanumeric string of characters, which shows how much ETH you have in your account—and replace it with a simple name. Much like how email addresses replaced clunky pieces of code, it was supposed to make crypto simpler. But Decrypt has learned that this step forward in user design, has meant several steps backward when it comes to privacy. Since the Ethereum blockchain is...
Currently sending cryptocurrency requires the use of long alphanumeric strings of characters. These are impossible to remember and need to be copied and pasted. Instead, cryptocurrency names associate an address with a name that’s easy to remember, in a way similar to email.
Coinbase Wallet will let users create their own names within the app, such as @Decrypt. It also supports the Ethereum Name Service, a pre-existing way of creating names for Ethereum addresses. These names look like: Decrypt.eth.
In a recent feature, Decrypt showed the risks of using the Ethereum Name Service with large amounts of cryptocurrency because it can be used to identify the richest crypto owners. And much more.
Short addresses can be used to send all the currencies supported by Coinbase Wallet, including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, XRP, Stellar Lumens, Dogecoin and all ERC-20 tokens such as USDC and DAI.
Furthermore, the company also expanded the integration between the main Coinbase app and the Wallet app. Last March, the option to link accounts and transfer funds to Wallet was added. Starting today, users can also easily send crypto back to Coinbase from their Wallet—for storage, trading or cashing out to their bank.

When Netflix quietly announced plans to remove “Bandersnatch”—the groundbreaking interactive episode from Black Mirror—futurist and journalist Katie Schultz launched a campaign to preserve what she calls a pivotal moment in streaming history. Outraged at what she saw as the quiet erasure of a significant chapter in streaming innovation, Schultz launched a Change.org petition to preserve Bandersnatch—and within days, it gathered more than 6,500 signatures from show supporters. “This isn't just ab...
Brazil might pull the plug on popular chat app Discord after a failed terrorist attack at Lady Gaga's mega-concert revealed the platform was used to plan violence against LGBTQ+ attendees. Brazilian Deputy Guilherme Boulos formally requested Discord's suspension last week, just days after police foiled a plot to attack Lady Gaga's May 3 show at Copacabana Beach—a massive event that drew over 2.1 million people. Authorities conducted their "Fake Monster" operation across four states, executing 15...
People are being tricked into downloading fake AI tools as a way to spread the information stealer malware Noodlophile. This malware is able to harvest browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallet information and more sensitive data, according to a security researcher. Morphisec researcher Shmuel Uzan said, in a report, "Instead of relying on traditional phishing or cracked software sites, they build convincing AI-themed platforms – often advertised via legitimate-looking Facebook groups and viral...
