BASE have updated their mobile wallet, from “Coinbase Wallet” to “Base: Formerly Coinbase Wallet”.
I cannot get this wallet to work with Web3Auth and I don’t see a “Base” option in the wallet list. I assume it’s still supporting the old app. Whenever I launch the Web3Auth modal on my site, “Base” does not display, and if I search for “Base” only “Coinbase Wallet” appears and shows a link to “Install Android app” (even though I have it installed).
I have tried accessing my site through the Base browser and launching the modal that way, but this does not work and just errors every time.
Can you let me know if Base is a supported wallet and if so, how to make it work with our site?
Thanks — I’m on the MetaMask & Web3Auth team. Short answer: Base (rebranded from Coinbase Wallet) is not currently guaranteed to appear in the Embedded Wallets / Web3Auth modal unless Web3Auth has updated their wallet list to include the new app label/deeplink. That explains why you see “Coinbase Wallet” but not “Base,” and why deep-linking from the modal can fail after the app rebrand.
What I recommend next (quick checklist):
Confirm Web3Auth SDK version you’re using (Embedded Wallets / Web3Auth) — please share the exact version.
Platform & device: Android or iOS (or both)? You mentioned mobile — which OS and app version of Base?
If you can, share the exact error message or a screenshot from the modal/console when you launch in the Base in-app browser.
Immediate options:
Short-term: use MetaMask SDK for direct EVM wallet connectivity (works well for Base chain) if you need a working path now.
For Web3Auth modal issues: Web3Auth needs to update their wallet aggregation list or deeplink mappings for the rebranded Base app. I can escalate this to our Web3Auth contacts — if you want that, please confirm your Web3Auth SDK version, OS, and paste the modal error/console output.
If you want, I’ll escalate to Web3Auth now with the details above so someone from our team follows up. What SDK version and OS are you on, and can you paste the error text or screenshot?

I’m accessing our site through the Base built in browser and edited the UI to display the error message that’s coming back from the SDK. The following screenshots are what I see, after clicking the “Base” option and signing the message (I’ve redacted parts of the login request)
