Exodùs Web3 Ŵallet | Secure Multi-Chain Crypto Ŵallet

Overview

Exodus is a self-custodial Web3 wallet designed to make crypto intuitive while offering multi-chain access, built-in swaps, staking, and integrations with hardware wallets. This presentation outlines Exodus' core capabilities, security posture, how to get started, and best practices for users and teams.

What it does

Exodus provides desktop, mobile, and web wallet experiences that let users send, receive, swap, stake, and interact with Web3 apps across many chains. It's positioned for users who want powerful features without complex UX.

Key Features (at a glance)

Multi-chain support

Connect to major chains — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and dozens of EVM and non-EVM networks — from one wallet interface. Users can manage diverse portfolios and move between chains using built-in swap and bridge features.

Built-in swapping and buy/sell

Swap between assets inside the wallet and purchase crypto via cards, bank transfers, and Apple/Google Pay (where supported). Exodus aggregates liquidity to provide competitive rates and a one-tap UX.

NFTs & Web3 apps

Wallet supports NFT viewing and interaction with decentralized apps (dApps) — enabling marketplace connection, collection management, and direct dApp sign-in.

Hardware wallet support

For stronger custody, Exodus integrates with hardware devices such as Ledger and Trezor, allowing private keys to stay offline while using Exodus for portfolio management and swaps.

Security & Trust

Design principles

Exodus emphasises user control: non-custodial key management, local encryption of private keys, and backup/restore flows. The company also runs dedicated security programs and engages security researchers to audit and fortify the platform.

Best practices for users

• Create and store a strong password and recovery phrase in a secure, offline place.
• Use a hardware wallet for large balances and critical holdings.
• Keep software updated and verify official download sources.

Note on openness

While Exodus leverages many open-source components and maintains public repos, some product components are not fully open-source — the company documents which elements are open and why some parts remain closed for security or operational reasons.

Getting Started — Step-by-Step

1. Download & install

Choose desktop or mobile from Exodus' official download pages. Install the app from the official site or trusted app stores; never install from random links.

2. Create your wallet

On first run, create a new wallet to generate your seed phrase. Write the recovery phrase down on physical paper — do not store it in a cloud note or plaintext file.

3. Secure & backup

Use Exodus' backup tools and test your recovery on a secondary device (without exposing your phrase). Consider a metal backup solution for long-term safekeeping.

Advanced usage

Hardware wallet pairing

Pair Exodus with Ledger or Trezor to sign transactions while keeping keys offline. This is recommended for users managing significant assets.

Staking & earning

Stake supported assets directly through Exodus to earn rewards. Rules, APYs and availability vary by chain — always review details before staking.

Using dApps

Use the Web3 browser or connect via WalletConnect to interact with DeFi protocols and NFT marketplaces. Verify permissions before approving any transaction.

Common Questions

Is Exodus custodial?

No — Exodus is self-custodial: you control the private keys and recovery phrase.

Does Exodus support 2FA?

Traditional 2FA is not used to protect the on-device wallet; security focuses on the seed, local encryption, and optional hardware wallet integrations.
