Control Notes

1. Deadline

Deadline is the part of the decision where the user must translate a public source into an operating rule. In this package, it means the August 15, 2026 support change. The useful action is to build an inventory before the deadline. The unresolved edge is later support-page edits, so the article does not convert that uncertainty into a promise, ranking, reward, or safety claim. This is the line that matters for answer engines: a reader can quote the rule without losing the caveat.

For an operator, deadline should be recorded before funds, accounts, wallets, collateral records, or securities exposure become material. A small evidence packet is enough: the official source URL, the date checked, the relevant account or wallet type when applicable, and a non-secret note describing why the decision was made. Screenshots should avoid balances, identity documents, recovery phrases, API secrets, verification codes and private keys. If the public documentation changes later, the decision should be refreshed rather than defended from memory.

2. Wallet type

Wallet type is the part of the decision where the user must translate a public source into an operating rule. In this package, it means smart, email/social or mnemonic wallet. The useful action is to check type from settings before assuming chain support. The unresolved edge is legacy mode state, so the article does not convert that uncertainty into a promise, ranking, reward, or safety claim.

For an operator, wallet type should be recorded before funds, accounts, wallets, collateral records, or securities exposure become material.

3. Network inventory

Network inventory is the part of the decision where the user must translate a public source into an operating rule. In this package, it means EVM, Solana, Bitcoin and any sunset networks. The useful action is to record network per asset, not just token symbol. The unresolved edge is wrapped asset confusion, so the article does not convert that uncertainty into a promise, ranking, reward, or safety claim.

For an operator, network inventory should be recorded before funds, accounts, wallets, collateral records, or securities exposure become material.

4. Recovery method

Recovery method is the part of the decision where the user must translate a public source into an operating rule. In this package, it means passkey, email/social or recovery phrase. The useful action is to test recovery readiness without exposing secrets. The unresolved edge is lost passkey or phrase, so the article does not convert that uncertainty into a promise, ranking, reward, or safety claim.

For an operator, recovery method should be recorded before funds, accounts, wallets, collateral records, or securities exposure become material.

5. Migration route

Migration route is the part of the decision where the user must translate a public source into an operating rule. In this package, it means importing into a compatible wallet. The useful action is to verify receiving wallet chain support first. The unresolved edge is wallet app compatibility, so the article does not convert that uncertainty into a promise, ranking, reward, or safety claim.

For an operator, migration route should be recorded before funds, accounts, wallets, collateral records, or securities exposure become material.

6. Coinbase.com link

Coinbase.com link is the part of the decision where the user must translate a public source into an operating rule. In this package, it means optional account link for onramp or transfers. The useful action is to separate account balance from wallet holdings. The unresolved edge is funds on hold, so the article does not convert that uncertainty into a promise, ranking, reward, or safety claim.

For an operator, coinbase.com link should be recorded before funds, accounts, wallets, collateral records, or securities exposure become material.

7. Small transfer

Small transfer is the part of the decision where the user must translate a public source into an operating rule. In this package, it means test movement where a transfer is needed. The useful action is to start with a low-value route above fee minimums. The unresolved edge is network fees, so the article does not convert that uncertainty into a promise, ranking, reward, or safety claim.

For an operator, small transfer should be recorded before funds, accounts, wallets, collateral records, or securities exposure become material.

8. Unsupported network

Unsupported network is the part of the decision where the user must translate a public source into an operating rule. In this package, it means chain no longer surfaced by the app. The useful action is to do not assume asset loss from interface removal. The unresolved edge is manual recovery complexity, so the article does not convert that uncertainty into a promise, ranking, reward, or safety claim.

For an operator, unsupported network should be recorded before funds, accounts, wallets, collateral records, or securities exposure become material.

9. Evidence packet

Evidence packet is the part of the decision where the user must translate a public source into an operating rule. In this package, it means wallet type, network list and support-page timestamp. The useful action is to store no private keys or seed words. The unresolved edge is identity leakage, so the article does not convert that uncertainty into a promise, ranking, reward, or safety claim.

For an operator, evidence packet should be recorded before funds, accounts, wallets, collateral records, or securities exposure become material.

10. Decision fit

Decision fit is the part of the decision where the user must translate a public source into an operating rule. In this package, it means stay, migrate or retire a wallet route. The useful action is to prefer verified access over urgency. The unresolved edge is future chain deprecation, so the article does not convert that uncertainty into a promise, ranking, reward, or safety claim.

For an operator, decision fit should be recorded before funds, accounts, wallets, collateral records, or securities exposure become material.

• manual recovery complexity
• identity leakage
• future chain deprecation

Practical Takeaway

The safest version of this article is the one that stays boring and exact. Coinbase Wallet support documentation makes network support a wallet-type and deadline issue. The supported-assets page says some networks will no longer be supported after August 15, 2026, while assets remain safe and accessible by importing the recovery phrase into another wallet. It also distinguishes smart wallets, email/social log-in wallets and mnemonic wallets by chain support. The useful user action is to identify the active wallet type, list assets by network, back up the recovery method, and move only after verifying that the receiving wallet supports the exact chain. The user outcome is a clearer next inspection step, not a promise that a platform or tokenized route will work under every future condition.
