Exodus® Web3 Wallet | Getting Started | Official*
Exodus Web3 Wallet is a multichain browser extension that lets you manage your crypto and explore Web3 directly from your browser. It combines self‑custody, dApp connectivity, NFT support, and built‑in swaps in one streamlined interface suitable for both beginners and advanced users. To verify and download the wallet, always use the official Exodus Web3 Wallet page: https://www.exodus.com/web3-wallet.
Overview of Exodus Web3 Wallet
Exodus Web3 Wallet is a self‑custody crypto wallet that runs as a browser extension in Chrome and Brave, turning your browser into a Web3 gateway. You control your assets through a 12‑word secret recovery phrase, which keeps ownership of your private keys in your hands instead of on centralized servers.
The wallet is designed for Web3 interactions, so you can connect to decentralized applications, DeFi platforms, and NFT marketplaces across multiple supported networks. You can send, receive, swap, and monitor supported assets directly inside the extension without leaving your browser.
Core features and benefits
Exodus Web3 Wallet supports multiple networks, allowing you to manage tokens across popular chains such as Ethereum, Solana, and other EVM‑compatible networks from one interface. This multichain approach reduces the friction of switching between different wallets every time you interact with a new blockchain.
Built‑in swap functionality via Exodus Swap enables quick token exchanges directly from the extension. At the same time, native Web3 connectivity lets you interact with DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and other dApps while keeping a consistent, visually polished user experience.
Installation and first steps
To get started, visit the official Exodus Web3 Wallet page at https://www.exodus.com/web3-wallet and follow the instructions to install the extension for your supported browser. Installing from the official website helps protect you from fake or malicious copies of the wallet.
After installation, open your browser’s extensions menu, find Exodus, and pin it to your toolbar for quick access. Keeping the extension pinned makes it convenient to connect to dApps, check balances, or approve transactions as you browse Web3 sites.
Creating or importing a wallet
If you are new to Exodus, you can create a fresh wallet in the extension by setting a strong password and then backing up the 12‑word secret recovery phrase that appears during setup. Your password protects local access, but the recovery phrase is the master key to your wallet and must be stored securely offline and never shared.
Existing users of Exodus, Phantom, or MetaMask can restore a wallet in Exodus Web3 Wallet using the same 12‑word secret recovery phrase. Once imported, tokens on supported networks are visible in the extension, while other holdings can still be managed with Exodus Desktop or Mobile where applicable.
Day‑to‑day Web3 usage
Within the extension, you can generate receive addresses for supported networks and send funds by entering or scanning the recipient’s address. Because addresses are network specific, always confirm the correct blockchain (for example, Ethereum vs Solana) before sending.
You can perform swaps through Exodus Swap inside the wallet, so you do not need to manually visit external decentralized exchanges for many token trades. When connecting to dApps, the extension acts as your Web3 identity, allowing you to approve or decline connection requests, sign messages, and interact safely with DeFi and NFT platforms.
Security, backup, and recovery
Exodus Web3 Wallet is fully self‑custodial: your private keys and secret recovery phrase are encrypted and stored locally on your device, not on company servers. Because Exodus cannot recover your phrase or access your funds, the safety of your assets depends on how well you protect that phrase.
