Hot wallet
Coinbase Wallet vs Rainbow
Same kind of product, two profiles. Affiliate status is not how this page is ordered.
Coinbase Wallet
Coinbase Wallet is a self-custody product, separate from the custodial Coinbase exchange account. Keeping the names straight matters: coins in the exchange are held by Coinbase, and coins in Coinbase Wallet are controlled by the recovery phrase on your device. Swap fees were not verified.
Rainbow
Rainbow is an Ethereum-focused hot wallet. Fee numbers and the exact network list were not verified, so this profile does not quote them.
