Exodus® Web3 Wallet™ || user-friendly Offically

Exodus Web3 Wallet is a multichain browser extension that connects you to web3 apps, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and other dApps from one interface. It is a self-custody wallet, which means only you hold the keys to your assets and no third party can access or freeze your funds.​

With this wallet, you can manage tokens on supported networks like Ethereum, Solana, and others while using one secure extension. You can also interact with decentralized apps directly in your browser, approving transactions through a streamlined extension popup.​​

Downloading the Official Wallet

To get started, always download Exodus Web3 Wallet from official sources to avoid phishing or fake extensions. Visit the Exodus website and follow the link to the browser extension page supported by browsers such as Chrome or other Chromium-based options.​

Once you are on the extension store listing, check that the publisher is Exodus Movement, Inc. or the official Exodus entity and review permissions before installing. Avoid downloading from random ads or third-party sites, as those may attempt to steal your private keys or recovery phrase.​

Installing and Creating a New Wallet

After adding the extension to your browser, open it from the toolbar and launch the initial setup flow. You can usually choose between creating a new wallet or restoring an existing one, depending on whether you are new to Exodus or already use Exodus, Phantom, or MetaMask.​

If you select create a new wallet, you will be prompted to set a strong password that encrypts your wallet data locally on your device. As you type, the wallet will indicate password strength and then ask you to confirm it before unlocking your new account.​

Restoring an Existing Wallet

If you already have a wallet, Exodus Web3 Wallet lets you restore using a compatible 12-word secret recovery phrase from Exodus, Phantom, or MetaMask. When you restore this way, only assets on networks supported by the Web3 Wallet extension will appear in the interface, although your original wallet still holds everything on-chain.​​

Where possible, it is often safer to send funds via regular transactions rather than importing seed phrases into multiple apps, because this reduces the number of places where your phrase is exposed. After restoration, the extension can be set as your default Web3 wallet, simplifying connections to dApps that recognize Exodus.​

Securing Your Secret Recovery Phrase

Your 12-word secret recovery phrase is the master key to your wallet and funds, replacing traditional email-and-password accounts. Anyone with this phrase can control your assets, and there is no central support desk that can recover it if you lose access.​​

Best practice is to write the phrase on paper or metal and store it offline in a secure location, never in screenshots, cloud notes, or messaging apps. Do not share it with anyone, and be cautious of phishing attempts that pretend to be support asking for your phrase or private keys.​​

Connecting to Web3 and dApps

Once your wallet is set up and secured, you can start exploring decentralized applications directly from your browser. Many dApps will display a “Connect Wallet” button, where you can choose Exodus as your wallet or use a standard connection option that triggers the Exodus Web3 popup.​​

Each time a dApp requests a connection or transaction, the extension will show a confirmation window detailing network, addresses, and gas or fee information so you can review before approving. This design helps you verify what you are signing, reducing the risk of accidentally approving malicious or unintended actions.​​

Sending, Receiving, and Swapping Crypto

From within Exodus Web3 Wallet, you can send and receive supported cryptocurrencies using your on-chain addresses. To receive funds, you simply choose the asset, copy your receive address or QR code, and share it with the sender or another wallet you control.​​

To send crypto, select the asset, enter the recipient’s address, choose an amount, and confirm the transaction while ensuring the network matches on both ends. You can also access swapping or exchange features for certain tokens, allowing you to trade within the wallet’s interface instead of relying on centralized exchanges.​​

Managing Assets and Portfolio

The wallet interface lets you view balances, track portfolio value, and monitor performance across networks in one place. You can review individual token details, recent transaction history, and network status to keep an eye on your on-chain activity.​

As you expand your Web3 activity into DeFi or NFTs, your Exodus Web3 Wallet becomes the central hub where you approve contracts, manage tokens, and maintain an overview of your holdings. Because the wallet is self-custodial, your assets remain tied to your recovery phrase rather than to an account with any company.​

Best Practices for Safe Web3 Usage

When using any Web3 wallet, staying safe means combining strong operational habits with the wallet’s built-in security. Always verify URLs before connecting, avoid clicking unknown links, and double-check that you are on the correct dApp site before approving transactions.
