Hi! I understand you had coins in the app formerly called Coinbase Wallet, which is now rebranded as Base. You also moved some ETH from the Coinbase app, but now it looks like the Base app is not showing your coins. Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this.

To help you better, I want to clarify a few things first:
1. When you say “lost coins,” do you mean they are not visible in the Base app balance at all?
2. Did you import or restore your wallet in Base using your recovery phrase (the 12 or 24 word seed phrase from Coinbase Wallet)?
3. Did you use the same wallet address to send the ETH, or was it a different wallet/account within Base?
4. When you sent ETH from Coinbase, do you recall if the transaction was confirmed on the blockchain (you can check any transaction hash via etherscan.io)?

Commonly, the issue comes from either importing the wrong recovery phrase or looking at the wrong wallet/account inside the app since Base can support multiple addresses. Also, the branding change from Coinbase Wallet to Base app does not affect your funds because your assets live on the blockchain, not the app itself.

Here's what you can do step-by-step:
1. Double-check you have imported/restored the correct recovery phrase into the Base app. This is the most crucial part—if the phrase is wrong, the wallet address won't match your previous holdings.
2. In the Base app, check the wallet address shown and compare it with your ETH address where you sent the ETH from Coinbase. You can find your wallet address by tapping your profile or wallet section.
3. Verify the ETH transaction status from Coinbase in your Coinbase app or by using a blockchain explorer like etherscan.io with your transaction ID. Ensure it was successfully sent and arrived at your wallet address.
4. If you have multiple accounts or wallets in the Base app, switch between them to locate your ETH balance.
5. If you still don’t see your funds, try logging out and back into the Base app, or uninstall and reinstall to refresh the app data—but make sure you have your recovery phrase backed up before doing this.

If these steps don’t resolve it, please let me know if you have your recovery phrase handy, and I can guide you through exporting or resyncing your wallet. Also, I can assist in checking for specific app bugs or transfer issues.

Are you comfortable starting with verifying your recovery phrase and wallet addresses?

dont have seed phrase. Only have eth address

Thanks for clarifying that you don’t have the seed phrase and only have the ETH address. That’s an important detail. Let’s talk about what this means and what options you have.

Your Ethereum address (ETH address) is a public identifier on the blockchain where your funds live. However, to control or access the funds in that address, you need the private keys or the recovery seed phrase associated with it. Without that seed phrase or private keys, the app (Base or Coinbase Wallet) cannot access or restore that wallet and its funds—even if you have the ETH address.

Here’s what this implies and what you can consider doing:

1. No Seed Phrase = No Wallet Access in App:
You cannot “import” or “restore” your wallet in Base or any self-custody wallet app using only your public ETH address. The app needs the seed phrase/private key to manage the wallet.

2. Check If You Logged In With a Custodial Account:
If you moved ETH from the Coinbase app (a custodial wallet where Coinbase controls keys) to an address controlled by Base, you must have created or set up a recovery phrase at some point in Base or Coinbase Wallet to access those funds. If you haven’t done that, the ETH is in a wallet you don’t currently control in Base.

3. Try To Recall or Locate Seed Phrase:
The recovery phrase is usually given when you first create or import a wallet. Try to check any password manager, backups, notes, or emails where you might have saved it.

4. If You Have No Seed Phrase, No Backup:
Unfortunately, without the seed phrase or private keys, there is no way to access the funds associated with that address. This is a fundamental security design in cryptocurrency.

5. If ETH Was Sent to Another Custodial Wallet Address:
If you sent ETH from Coinbase app to another wallet address you control within Coinbase or another custodial service, you should check your respective accounts there.

6. Use Blockchain Explorers to Confirm Balance:
You can use etherscan.io or a Base-specific block explorer to check the balance of your ETH address and confirm your funds are indeed there.

If you want, I can guide you on how to check your ETH address balance on a block explorer. Also, if you remember any potential place you might have saved the seed phrase or if you used a hardware wallet, I can help you check next steps.

Does this help clarify your situation? Would you like to proceed with checking the blockchain balance?

Can I recover funds with just an Ethereum address?

Great question! Unfortunately, you cannot recover funds with just an Ethereum address alone. The Ethereum address is your public identifier on the blockchain, but to control or access the funds stored there, you must have the private keys or the recovery seed phrase associated with that address.

Simply put, only the owner of the wallet (who possesses the private keys or seed phrase) can move or refund the funds. If you do not have the recovery phrase or private keys, there's no way to access or recover the funds, even though you know the ETH address1.

If you want, I can help you check the balance on your ETH address via a block explorer so you can confirm your funds are there, but without the seed phrase, the funds are inaccessible.

Would you like me to guide you on checking your ETH balance on etherscan.io?

Had coins when app was called wallet. moved some eth from formal coinbase app, so i have the eth adde

Thanks for sharing that you had coins when the app was still called Coinbase Wallet, and you moved ETH from the Coinbase app. You mentioned you have the ETH address but seem to be facing an issue viewing or accessing your ETH in the Base app after the transfer.

Since the Base app is the rebranded Coinbase Wallet app, your funds remain on the blockchain tied to your wallet address. Here are a few things to check and try:

1. Confirm the ETH transfer was successful on the blockchain:
- Use a blockchain explorer like etherscan.io. Enter your ETH address and check the transaction history to confirm the ETH arrival.

2. Make sure you are logged into the correct wallet/account in Base:
- The app can support multiple wallets. Verify that the wallet address visible inside the Base app matches the ETH address you have.

3. If the Base app doesn’t show your funds even though the transaction was successful on the blockchain:
- Try refreshing or restarting the app.
- Log out and log back in, or reinstall the app (after backing up your seed phrase, if you have it).

4. No seed phrase means you cannot recover or restore the wallet:
- If you do not have the seed phrase or private keys, you cannot re-import your wallet into the app, and thus cannot see or control the funds.
<brIf you're still stuck after trying these tips, please share any additional info you have, such as any error messages, what exactly you see in the app, or anything else that might help troubleshoot. I’m here to assist you!
