You can use your Coinbase account to send and receive supported cryptocurrencies. Sends and receives are available on both mobile and web. Note that Coinbase cannot be used to receive ETH or ETC mining rewards.
On-chain sends are used to send funds from the Coinbase platform to an external address on the blockchain. On-chain sends are irreversible; Coinbase can’t retrieve funds that were sent to the incorrect address or using the incorrect network. On-chain sends incur network fees and take time to process.

5. Select the network that you’d like to send on, if applicable (only available for assets that are supported on multiple networks; always confirm that your recipient’s wallet supports this network. You don’t need to select a network if you’re sending to a user’s email or phone number).
