Exódus® Web3 Wallet | Exódus® Browser Extension

What is the Exódus® Browser Extension?

The Exódus® Web3 Wallet browser extension turns Chromium-based browsers into a Web3-ready portal. It’s designed for simplicity without compromising on core self-custody principles: your keys stay encrypted on your device, enabling you to connect to decentralized apps (dApps), swap supported assets, manage NFTs, and track your portfolio across multiple networks from one interface.

Highlights

One wallet for many networks (e.g., EVM chains, Solana, and more as supported).
Built-in swaps with a streamlined interface.
Clear signing and human-readable prompts to reduce transaction mistakes.
Easy account switching for dApp connections.

How to Set It Up (Step-by-Step)

1) Install

Install only from official sources. Open the official Exódus® Web3 Wallet page and follow the “Download for Chrome/Brave” flow. Avoid look-alike websites and third-party mirrors.

Tip

Bookmark official pages to prevent phishing later.

2) Create or Restore

Choose Create new wallet to generate a fresh recovery phrase, or Restore to import an existing one. Write the phrase on paper (or a metal backup) and store it offline.

Never share

No support agent or dApp will ever need your recovery phrase.

3) Connect to dApps

Open a dApp and click Connect Wallet. Select Exódus® (or “Injected”) and review the requested permissions. Confirm only what you understand.

Review prompts

Read transaction details before you sign.

Security Best Practices

Protect Your Keys

Back up your recovery phrase offline. Consider a fire- and water-resistant medium.
Set a strong, unique password for the extension lock.
Keep your OS and browser up-to-date to receive security patches.

Defend Against Phishing

Type or use bookmarks for official links—don’t trust random search ads.
Verify domain spelling carefully before installing or signing anything.
Disconnect the wallet from dApps you no longer use.

Warning

If a site asks for your recovery phrase to “verify” or “unlock” your wallet, it’s a scam. Close the page immediately.

Everyday Workflows

Swaps

Choose the asset pair, review the quoted rate and fees, and confirm. For larger moves, consider splitting into smaller transactions and comparing total execution costs.

Note

On-chain congestion can affect pricing and settlement time.

NFTs

View collections, send collectibles, and verify contract addresses before purchasing. Always double-check you’re on the intended network (e.g., Ethereum vs. Polygon).

Network checks

Wrong-network sends may require bridges or recovery steps.

Troubleshooting & Support

Common Fixes

Stuck transaction: Try speeding up (replace-by-fee) if supported, or wait for network clearance.
Can’t connect to a dApp: Refresh, re-select the account, or re-approve permissions.
Balance not showing: Ensure the correct network and token contract; reload the extension.
