How to Buy PinLink on Coinbase Wallet

PinLink (PIN) is the native cryptocurrency of the PinLink ecosystem and an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Users may be able to obtain PIN through Coinbase Wallet’s decentralized exchange (DEX) swap functionality when PIN and an appropriate Ethereum trading route are supported. Coinbase Wallet is a self-custody wallet, meaning users control the wallet’s private keys and recovery credentials; it is different from the centralized Coinbase exchange, where Coinbase provides custodial services.

What Is PinLink (PIN)?

PinLink describes itself as an RWA-tokenized DePIN marketplace focused on infrastructure such as computing resources. Its platform uses tokenization to represent DePIN assets through blockchain-based assets, while PIN functions as the ecosystem’s native cryptocurrency. PinLink currently identifies PIN as an Ethereum ERC-20 token with a total supply of 100 million PIN.

PIN should not be confused with ownership of the underlying infrastructure represented on the platform.

How to Buy PinLink on Coinbase Wallet

The general process involves setting up Coinbase Wallet, selecting the Ethereum network, funding the wallet with a supported asset such as ETH or USDC, and using the wallet’s Swap function if PIN is available through a supported DEX route. Coinbase Wallet currently supports Ethereum and DEX conversions for supported assets on Ethereum.

What Do You Need to Buy PIN on Coinbase Wallet?

Before attempting a swap, you generally need:

• A Coinbase Wallet account or compatible Coinbase self-custody wallet
• Access to the Ethereum network
• A supported asset, such as ETH or an Ethereum-based stablecoin
• Enough funds to cover the swap and applicable network fees
• The correct PIN token information

Coinbase Wallet supports Ethereum and thousands of assets, including ERC-20 tokens and USDC.

How to Set Up Coinbase Wallet for Ethereum

Install or open Coinbase Wallet and create a new wallet or access an existing one. Follow the wallet’s security instructions and protect your recovery credentials.

Once inside the wallet, make sure Ethereum is selected when working with PIN. Coinbase Wallet lists Ethereum as a supported network and supports EVM-compatible assets.

Remember that Coinbase Wallet is self-custodial. Your recovery information should never be shared with another person or entered into an unfamiliar website.

How to Fund Coinbase Wallet Before Buying PIN

You can fund the wallet by transferring supported cryptocurrency from another wallet or by using available purchasing options within Coinbase Wallet. Coinbase also allows users to link a Coinbase account for transferring supported assets between the exchange and a self-custody wallet. Payment-provider availability can vary by country.

For an Ethereum swap, make sure the funds are actually on Ethereum, rather than another network with a similar-looking token.

How to Swap for PinLink on Coinbase Wallet

If PIN is supported through an available DEX route, the general process is:

1. Open Coinbase Wallet and select Swap.
2. Select Ethereum as the relevant network.
3. Choose the asset you want to exchange, such as ETH or supported USDC.
4. Search for and select PIN as the receiving asset, if available.
5. Enter the amount.
6. Review the quoted exchange rate, estimated received amount, network fee, slippage, and any other displayed costs.
7. Verify the transaction details.
8. Confirm the swap in Coinbase Wallet.

Coinbase’s documentation describes the swap process as selecting the token being converted, the token to receive, and the amount. DEX transactions can also require token approvals, which should be reviewed carefully before signing.

If PIN does not appear or there is no suitable route, do not assume that an unfamiliar token with the same name is the correct asset.

How to Verify the Correct PIN Token

Before approving a transaction, verify that the token is the official PinLink ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Compare the contract address against an official PinLink source and a reputable Ethereum block explorer. Be cautious of fake PIN tokens, impersonation websites, unsolicited links, and incorrect networks.

How to Confirm Your PIN After the Swap

After the transaction is confirmed, check Coinbase Wallet’s transaction history and token balance. If the balance or transaction status is unclear, use an Ethereum blockchain explorer to inspect the transaction hash and confirm that the PIN tokens were transferred to your wallet address. Do not assume a pending transaction has completed until the blockchain confirms it.

Buying PIN through Coinbase Wallet generally involves funding a self-custody wallet, selecting Ethereum, and using the wallet’s swap functionality when a supported PIN trading route is available. However, token support, liquidity, routing, fees, and wallet interfaces can change.

Before confirming a transaction, verify PIN support, the Ethereum network, token contract, liquidity, slippage, gas costs, and the final transaction details. Never share your recovery phrase or private keys, and DYOR before using any cryptocurrency service.
