Coinbase has outlined on their blog that they will be discontinuing the Toshi app that is currently used for trading and purchasing cryptocurrency on their platform. It is to be replaced with the Coinbase Wallet app. The team say existing Toshi users will see their app updated automatically to the new app soon. Toshi worked as a crypto wallet but mainly as a Dapp explorer which allowed users to browse decentralized applications online, specifically those on the Ethereum Network, and allowed users to run Dapps from that browser.

Coinbase’s announcements can be short on details, as is this one. It seems the app is broadly similar to the Toshi offering.

Concerning info that might be useful to users, Coinbase gave a rundown of the features of the Toshi app which will be continued with the new app:

Coinbase has cemented themselves as a giant in the crypto industry, looking to innovate in many directions. The Dapp market is booming if still in its early stages, with platforms like Ethereum and NEO leading much of the progress. The Toshi app seemed to be well received.

In the announcement, they also hinted at their focus on becoming an identity management platform, which they discussed strategically in an announcement earlier today.
