What is a Web3 Browser
A Web3 browser, also known as a blockchain browser, is a browser that enables users to interact with decentralized applications (DApps) in a more convenient way. Traditional web browsers usually only allow users to access websites via protocols such as HTTP or HTTPS, which have limited support for decentralized protocols based on blockchain technology, resulting in a poor user experience when operating various DApps. Web3 browsers can directly connect to blockchains such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Solana, etc., enabling users to directly interact with DApps, manage cryptocurrency wallets, or explore various decentralized content.
Seamlessly interact with DApps securely through the CoolWallet Web3 browser
CoolWallet’s cold and hot wallets both support the Web3 browser, accessible directly from the main menu at the bottom of the CoolWallet App. This allows users to seamlessly enter the vibrant world of Web3 and interact with DApps within the CoolWallet App, eliminating the need for switching back and forth between DApps and wallets via WalletConnect like before.
The built-in Web3 browser provides an additional layer of security for users conducting cryptocurrency and smart contract transactions. By interacting directly with DApps and verifying transactions through the wallet, it reduces the risk of scams or phishing attacks. Furthermore, when interacting with smart contracts, CoolWallet users can also benefit from the powerful Smart Scan analysis tool, equipped with a fraud detection algorithm API, to help guard against fraudulent smart contract transactions.
Multi-chain support for exploring the content-rich Web3 world
The CoolWallet Web3 browser currently supports Solana and multiple EVM-compatible blockchains, including popular ones such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, as well as Layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism. Other non-EVM compatible blockchains like Cosmos are also being developed and will soon be available on the Web3 browser.

Effortlessly manage and navigate between multiple DApps
The multi-tab design of the CoolWallet Web3 browser allows for a glanceable view of several previously opened DApp tabs. This feature not only serves as a visual cue for any unfinished tasks but also acts as a list for future interactions. Furthermore, the browser tabs display DApp links and website previews, aiding in recall and ensuring the accuracy of information. This enables users to efficiently manage their crypto assets and interact with DApps in the Web3 world.
Enjoy a smooth Web3 browsing experience with user-friendly features
The CoolWallet Web3 browser provides intuitive navigation tools and streamlined features to meet important needs. If the currently opened DApp being browsed supports multiple blockchains, users can easily switch between them from the bottom right corner of the screen. To manage crypto in a more organized manner, CoolWallet has always supported a multi-address feature. With the Web3 browser, you can easily switch between different addresses and have full control over your digital assets in the Web3 world.
Let’s take OpenSea as an example and go through the steps!
Step 1. Click on “Browser” in the main menu at the bottom of the CoolWallet App. You can find the search bar in the Web3 browser, or you can simply try the recommended options.
Step 2. After clicking on the search bar, the CoolWallet Web3 browser will automatically display popular DApps. If you find what you’re looking for, you can select it directly, or enter keywords or paste the DApp URL in the search bar. For example, to search for OpenSea, just type a few letters like ”op” and the browser will display related DApps.
Step 3. You can easily switch between blockchains and addresses from the bottom right corner after entering the desired DApp. Please note that if the blockchains supported by the CoolWallet Web3 browser do not support the DApp you wish to use, please click on the symbol in the top left corner or the “Browser” button in the main menu to return to the browser homepage.
Step 4. As each DApp is designed differently, if the page does not automatically request a wallet connection upon entering the DApp, click on “Connect wallet.” The location of the “Connect wallet” button may differ for each DApp. For example, in OpenSea, you can click the on the main menu icon to find “Connect wallet” button.
Step 5. Please choose “MetaMask” instead of “WalletConnect” for the connection to avoid any redirection issues.
Step 6. A signature verification request will be prompted to ensure that you agree to connect your wallet to the DApp. If you are using a cold wallet, please have your CoolWallet Pro/S ready. If you are using the CoolWallet HOT, you will need to verify using a password or biometric authentication. Once you click “Confirm”, the verification process will begin.
Step 7. After connecting your cold wallet, please follow the instructions and press the button on the card until the signature verification is completed.
Step 8. After successfully linking your wallet, you can see the information of your wallet’s OpenSea account and start managing your NFTs.
