Coinbase Wallet is a self-custody wallet, which allows users to manage their own private keys to the wallet and any coins/tokens stored in it.
This standalone wallet app does not require a Coinbase account and is not to be confused with the Coinbase Exchange app which is a separate app and service by the same company.

What is the free cb.id web3 username Coinbase Wallet offers?
Your cb.id username is an ENS name issued by Coinbase that is built upon the ENS decentralized identity infrastructure.
Coinbase offers free usernames in the format of subnames (for example, username.cb.id). This is a great service offered by Coinbase with some limitations:
Non-transferrable
Can’t use the fuse permissions with the NameWrapper.
Cannot create your own subdomains.
Limited record setup. Not all the records and features are available as they are with .eth ENS names.
