Add an allowlist address

Allowlisting is a security feature that limits sends to the addresses in your address book.

2-step verification required

You need access to your 2-step verification method to activate, deactivate, and use allowlisting.

Add an address:

  1. Sign in to Coinbase.com.

  2. Go to your profile.

  3. Select Settings.

  4. Select Allow list.

  5. Turn on allowlisting.

  6. Select Enable Allowlisting and follow the prompts.

  7. Select Add address.

    • Use an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) address for EVM assets.

  8. Choose the currency and add address details.

  9. Select Add address and confirm the addition.

An address becomes available for sends after 48 hours. The date added column will show when it's available to use.


You can turn off allowlisting anytime through your address book. This takes 48 hours. If you turn it off within 8 hours of activation, the 48-hour hold doesn’t apply.
