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.

North Korean hackers are luring crypto professionals into elaborate fake job interviews designed to steal their data and deploy sophisticated malware on their devices. A new Python-based remote access trojan called "PylangGhost," links malware to a North Korean-affiliated hacking collective called "Famous Chollima," also known as "Wagemole,” threat intelligence research firm Cisco Talos reported on Wednesday. "Based on the advertised positions, it is clear that the Famous Chollima is broadly tar...
A previously unreported data breach has exposed more than 16 billion login credentials, making it one of the largest compilations of stolen personal data ever discovered. First reported by Cybernews, the trove of data includes credentials for widely used services, including Facebook, Google, Telegram, and GitHub, as well as access to corporate, developer, and government websites. Researchers from Cybernews said the information likely comes from a mix of infostealer malware logs, credential stuff...
Quantum computers weren’t expected to pose a threat to Bitcoin’s security anytime soon. But IBM has launched a project that could expedite the timeline: the world’s first fault-tolerant quantum computer, set to debut by 2029. Despite their ability to calculate in multiple directions simultaneously, current-generation quantum computers have high error rates. Without fault tolerance, and the ability to detect and correct errors as they happen, quantum computers can’t run complex algorithms that wo...
