WhileCoinbaseis better known for its cryptocurrency exchange, the company has also been working on a couple of self-custody wallets under theCoinbase Walletbrand. This type of wallets put you in charge of your crypto assets as private keys are stored on your devices.

Todaythe company is bringing NFTs to the desktop browser. People who use Coinbase Wallet for desktop browsers will soon see a new tab called “NFTs,” which will let you access the non-fungible tokens (NFTs) associated with your wallet address.

While many mobile wallets let you view your NFT collection, such asRainbow,Argentand also Coinbase Wallet on mobile, browser extensions typically don’t have a native NFT gallery feature. The feature is rolling out in a few days.

In addition to the new NFT feature, Coinbase has been working on better support for testnets and alternative networks. While you can already switch between multiple networks from the settings, Coinbase Wallet will now display your token balances across all supported networks, such as Arbitrum, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Fantom, Optimism, Polygon and xdai. It’s a sort of unified inbox for your crypto assets.

Coinbase Wallet will also support EIP-3085 (EIP stands for Ethereum Improvement Proposal). If a Coinbase Wallet interacts with a decentralized application that also supports EIP-3085, it’ll lead to a better user experience for the end user.

EIP-3085 allows dApp developers to suggest a specific network for a transaction. In other words, it makes it easier to interact with multiple networks.

The main advantage of using a self-custody wallet is that you’re not limited to what’s available in the app. You can connect to a third-party dApp using WalletLink, WalletConnect, etc.

But Coinbase has also integrated some decentralized exchanges directly in the Coinbase Wallet interface. Interestingly, Coinbase is using Uniswap and 0x for those trades. Coinbase collects a 1% fee on trades through its native DEX feature.

In many ways, Coinbase Wallet feels like Coinbase’s web3 initiative. The company wants to remain relevant as crypto users become more and more educated and start interacting with more dApps.

MetaMaskhas been quite popular with new crypto users who want to buy an NFT for the first time. But MetaMask users will tell you that MetaMask is 
 not great. And Coinbase doesn’t want to stand still. It hasacqui-hired crypto wallet startup BRDand it plans to launchits own NFT marketplace.

Not Forgotten, But Gone by WhIsBe
Genesis
JosĂ© Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.
