Exodus Web3 Wallet is a multichain browser extension that lets you securely manage your crypto while interacting with the wider Web3 ecosystem directly from Chrome or Brave. It combines self-custody, dApp connectivity, NFT support, and built‑in swaps in a single interface designed for both new and experienced crypto users. The official Exodus Web3 Wallet page is: https://www.exodus.com/web3-wallet.​

What is Exodus Web3 Wallet?

Exodus Web3 Wallet is a self‑custody browser extension that turns your Chrome or Brave browser into a Web3‑ready crypto wallet. As a self‑custody wallet, you control your funds via a 12‑word secret recovery phrase, with no account sign‑up or custodial third party holding your assets.​

With this wallet, you can connect to dApps, DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and other Web3 applications across multiple supported networks such as Ethereum, Solana, and additional EVM chains. You can also send, receive, swap, and track supported assets directly from the extension’s interface.​

Key features and benefits

  • Multichain support allows you to manage tokens across 50+ crypto networks with unlimited token support on popular Web3 networks through the Exodus ecosystem. This reduces the need to juggle multiple wallets for different chains.​
  • Built‑in swap functionality lets you exchange tokens on supported networks (including Ethereum and Solana) using Exodus Swap, without leaving the wallet interface.​
  • NFT and dApp connectivity enables you to interact with decentralized exchanges, games, DeFi protocols, and NFT platforms from a single extension.​
  • A simple, visually focused interface aims to make Web3 navigation more intuitive for beginners while still providing the tools power users expect.​

Downloading and installing the wallet

To get started, you first install Exodus Web3 Wallet from the official Exodus website or the extension store for supported browsers. The safest path is to always begin at the official site: https://www.exodus.com/web3-wallet and follow its download links for Chrome or Brave.​

Once installed, you can pin the extension to your browser toolbar by opening your browser’s extensions menu, locating Exodus, and clicking the pin icon. Pinning the wallet makes it easier to open quickly whenever you need to connect to a dApp or check your balance.​

Creating or restoring a wallet

New users can create a fresh wallet directly after installing the extension, choosing a strong password and then backing up the 12‑word secret recovery phrase generated on first use. The password protects local access to the extension, while the recovery phrase is the ultimate key to your funds and must be stored offline and never shared.​

If you already use Exodus, Phantom, or MetaMask, you can restore your existing wallet in the Web3 extension with your 12‑word secret recovery phrase. After restoration, you will see the assets that exist on networks supported by Exodus Web3 Wallet, while other assets remain accessible via Exodus Desktop or Mobile if needed.​

Using Exodus Web3 Wallet

From the extension, you can generate receive addresses to accept crypto on supported networks and send funds by pasting or scanning destination addresses. The wallet provides network‑specific receive addresses, so always confirm you are on the correct blockchain before sending or receiving.​

Swaps are handled within the wallet via Exodus Swap, letting you move between supported assets without manual use of external DEX interfaces. For users wanting to buy crypto, Exodus offers integrated on‑ramp options that allow purchases directly into the wallet, depending on region and provider availability.​

Security and recovery

Exodus Web3 Wallet never holds your private keys on centralized servers; everything is generated and stored locally on your device, secured by your password and 12‑word phrase. Because of this, losing that phrase means losing access to your funds, while sharing it with anyone can let them take control of your wallet.
