How to send a transfer from Coinbase Wallet

How to send a transfer from Coinbase Wallet (self-custody app) to complete a test-transfer wallet verification, with the network check that prevents loss.

Sending from Coinbase Wallet (the self-custody app) is how you complete a test-transfer verification or move funds. The steps are the same for a tiny dust amount and a larger transfer.

Steps

  1. Open Coinbase Wallet and select the asset holding your funds.
  2. Tap Send.
  3. Confirm the network matches the asset and destination.
  4. Paste the destination address and verify the first and last characters.
  5. Enter the amount — very small for a verification test transfer.
  6. Review the network fee; it rises with congestion.
  7. Confirm, then track the transaction to the required confirmations.

Avoiding mistakes

  • Wrong network is the top way funds are lost — match it end to end.
  • Underpaying the fee can leave a transfer stuck.
  • Confirmation timing is network-dependent; verification completes only once the transfer confirms.
  • Remember this is the self-custody wallet — sending from the Coinbase exchange is a different flow.

For the current send flow, see Coinbase Wallet's official support documentation.
