Exodus Web3 Wallet — Quick summary

What it is

The Exodus Web3 Wallet is a multi-chain, non-custodial browser extension and app that connects users to decentralized applications (dApps), enables swaps, staking, NFT interaction, and portfolio tracking — all while keeping private keys on the user’s device. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Use this presentation as a user-oriented overview and an explainer for audiences new to Web3.

Design & philosophy

User-first, visually polished

Exodus emphasizes a friendly, polished UI that lowers the barrier to entry for newcomers, offering integrated swaps, fiat on-ramp options, and visual portfolio analytics. The wallet intentionally keeps the user in control — Exodus does not hold users’ private keys. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

This approach targets users who want self-custody without a steep learning curve.

Key features

• Multi-chain access: Ethereum, Solana, Polygon and many others via the Web3 extension. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Swap & Buy: In-wallet swaps and fiat on-ramp (cards, bank, Apple/Google Pay). :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• Staking: Earn rewards for supported assets directly within the wallet. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• NFT & dApp access: Connect to marketplaces, games, and DeFi dApps via the Web3 extension. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• Hardware wallet support: Integrates with Trezor and Ledger for added security. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Security model

Non-custodial + device encryption

Private keys and transaction data are encrypted locally on the user’s device. Exodus states it never has access to users’ seed phrases and encourages hardware-wallet pairing for larger holdings. As with all self-custodial wallets, safe backup practices are critical. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Tip: use hardware wallets (Ledger/Trezor) plus a secure backup for high-value holdings.

Supported coins & tokens

Exodus supports a large and growing list of assets (hundreds to 1M+ token identifiers across different chains, depending on definition). Users can browse the live assets list on Exodus to confirm support and status for a specific token. Always check supported assets and availability for your region. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Note: staking or certain services can be region-restricted.

Setup checklist

Step-by-step

1. Create a new wallet via extension or mobile app.
2. Securely record your recovery phrase (air-gapped if possible).
3. Enable passcode/biometrics on mobile; pair a hardware wallet for large balances.
4. Fund wallet via swap, on-ramp, or receiving transfers.
5. Connect to dApps and explore swaps/staking features. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Always confirm the exact steps within the official Exodus 'Getting started' guide before onboarding users.

Why people like Exodus

Exodus is praised for its approachable visuals, in-app portfolio graphs, one-click swaps, and straightforward NFT browsing. The design lowers friction for newcomers while still offering advanced functionality (staking, hardware-wallet integration) for experienced users. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

The Chrome extension also makes dApp connection as simple as clicking a browser toolbar icon. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

What to watch out for

• As a software wallet, it’s exposed to device compromises — use hardware signing for large balances.
• Fees: Exodus may route swaps through third-party liquidity; network fees still apply.
• Regional limits: Some features (staking, fiat services) vary by jurisdiction. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
• User responsibility: self-custody means YOU are responsible for recovery phrase security.

For developers & businesses

Exodus offers products (Wallet SDKs, Passkeys, Wallet-as-a-Service) to integrate user-friendly wallet flows and passkey-based wallet creation. This can speed onboarding for web3 apps that want a non-custodial wallet experience with simpler UX. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
