The Base app (formerly known as Coinbase Wallet) just got a major upgrade. For the first time, users can make everyday purchases without leaving the app, swapping tokens, or off-ramping to fiat. Just tap, pay, and you’re done.

From wallet to real-world utility

Until now, spending crypto has been messy… You had to send assets to an exchange, convert them, withdraw to your bank, then pay. That process sometimes took days, involved multiple platforms, and cost extra in gas and fees.

With Bando inside the Base app, you skip all of that. Your crypto becomes usable instantly, right where it is: in your wallet.

You can now pay for:

What makes Bando different?

Bando works across 10+ chains—including Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, Celo, Avalanche, and Base—so you're never limited by where your assets live. You can spend directly from your airdrops, staking rewards, or yield, with real-time quotes and zero hidden conversions. 

There are no forced fiat off-ramps: simply use your tokens as is. Designed for the Global South, Bando is already live in markets like the USA, Mexico, Nigeria, India, and more.

Cryptocurrencies are designed to be spent

This integration reflects a shift happening across the crypto ecosystem. Users don’t just want to trade or hold, they want to use their assets in real life.

With Bando inside the Base app, the wallet becomes more than storage. It becomes a payment platform, a financial tool, and a direct connection to daily use cases.

Open your Base app, tap the Bando App, and start spending your crypto today.

No off-ramps. No banks. Just pay.
