Exodus Wallet — secure, beautiful wallet for desktop and mobile

Exodus is a non‑custodial wallet that combines an elegant interface with powerful features: portfolio tracking, built‑in exchange, hardware wallet support, and one‑click backups. This page explains how to get started, restore your wallet, secure your seed phrase, use the desktop and mobile apps, and follow best practices to keep your assets safe.

Why choose Exodus?

Exodus prioritizes user experience without sacrificing security. Private keys and recovery information remain on your device. The app supports hundreds of assets, integrates with hardware wallets (Ledger), and includes an in‑app exchange powered by third‑party liquidity providers. Exodus is ideal for users who want a polished wallet that’s easy to use while retaining control of their keys.

Supported platforms & compatibility

Download Exodus for Windows, macOS, and Linux, or get the mobile app for iOS and Android. For added security, you can pair Exodus with a Ledger hardware wallet to keep private keys in a secure element while using Exodus as the interface.

Getting started — installation & first run

  1. Download the correct installer from the official Exodus site: exodus.com/download.
  2. Install and open the app. Choose to create a new wallet or restore an existing one.
  3. During setup, Exodus will generate a 12‑word recovery phrase. Write it down exactly and store it offline — this is the only way to restore your wallet on a new device.
  4. Set a strong local password for your app (desktop only) and enable mobile PIN/biometrics on supported devices.

Understanding recovery phrases & backups

Your recovery phrase (seed phrase) is the ultimate backup. Anyone who has it can restore and access your funds, so treat it like cash: keep it offline, never photograph it, and avoid entering it into websites. Consider using a metal backup plate for durability. Exodus provides an encrypted backup option for desktop to simplify restoration — still keep the seed phrase secure.

Using Exodus: send, receive, exchange

Exodus's interface makes common actions straightforward:

  • Receive: Choose the asset, copy the address, and verify it on the receiving device.
  • Send: Paste or scan the destination address, set an amount, and review transaction fees before confirming.
  • Exchange: Use the built‑in exchange to swap tokens without leaving the app. Exchange rates and liquidity are provided by partners — review estimated fees and slippage.

Security best practices

  • Download Exodus only from the official website. Verify the domain and checksums where provided.
  • Store your 12‑word recovery phrase offline and out of sight.
  • Use hardware wallet integration (Ledger) for larger holdings.
  • Keep your OS and Exodus app updated to the latest versions.
  • Avoid entering your seed phrase into any website or service.

Hardware wallet integration

Exodus supports Ledger hardware wallets. When you connect a Ledger, private keys stay on the Ledger device. Use Exodus to view balances, create transactions, and request the Ledger to sign them — this combines an intuitive UI with the security of a hardware wallet.

Troubleshooting & common issues

App won’t open? Make sure you have the latest OS updates and reinstall from the official Exodus download page. If your wallet appears empty after reinstall, restore using your recovery phrase.

Transaction not confirmed? Check the network status for the blockchain in question — low fees or network congestion can delay confirmations.

Lost device? Restore your wallet on a new device using your recovery phrase immediately and move funds to a new wallet if you suspect the seed phrase has been compromised.

Privacy & data handling

Exodus is non‑custodial and does not store private keys on its servers. The app may request permission to use third‑party services for exchange rates and market data — review privacy settings and third‑party providers. For full details, consult Exodus’s privacy policy and support documentation.

Advanced features

  • Portfolio charts and historical performance tracking.
  • Custom fee control for certain networks.
  • NFT viewing for supported chains within the mobile app.
  • Developer integrations and API options for institutional workflows (see support docs).
