What Is Exodus Web3 Wallet?
At its core, Exodus Web3 Wallet is a browser extension that connects securely to Web3 applications — letting you interact with decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, crypto swaps, blockchain games, DAO interfaces, and more, all from one non-custodial wallet.
“Web3” refers to the next generation of the internet built on decentralized blockchain protocols — where users interact with applications and services using blockchain-powered identities, tokens, and smart contracts rather than centralized accounts.
Exodus Web3 Wallet functions similarly to popular wallets like MetaMask but with a focus on multi-chain support, portfolio visibility, and easy onboarding for beginners.
How Exodus Puts You in Control Self-Custody — What It Means
Unlike custodial wallets (where a platform holds your keys for you), Exodus Web3 Wallet is non-custodial. You control your private keys and recovery phrase, which are stored locally on your device. Exodus cannot access your funds, and no server stores your sensitive cryptographic information.
This gives you greater control — and greater responsibility — for securing your funds.
Supported Chains
Exodus Web3 Wallet supports a wide range of blockchain networks including:
Bitcoin
Ethereum
Solana
BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20)
Polygon
Avalanche C-Chain
Arbitrum One
Base
Optimism …and more.
You can also add custom tokens on networks that support them.
Note: Not all assets held in Exodus Mobile or Desktop appear in the Web3 Wallet — it focuses on networks that support dApp interactions and Web3 features.
Step-by-Step: Installing Exodus Web3 Wallet System Requirements
The Web3 Wallet extension works only on Chrome-based browsers like:
Google Chrome
Brave browser
Make sure you install the wallet only from the official Exodus site to avoid phishing or fake extensions.
Installation Steps
Visit the official Exodus Web3 Wallet page: https://www.exodus.com/web3-wallet/
Click “Download for Chrome” (or Brave). This will open the Chrome Web Store.
Click “Add to Chrome” (or “Add to Brave”) and confirm the installation.
Pin the extension to your browser toolbar for easy access — click the Extensions icon and pin Exodus.
Once installed, you’ll see the Exodus logo icon in your browser bar — click it to open your Web3 Wallet.
Setting Up Your Wallet
After installing the extension, you’ll be prompted to create a new wallet or restore an existing one.
Option 1 — Create a New Wallet
Click Create New Wallet.
Set a strong password.
Exodus will generate a 12-word secret recovery phrase.
Write this phrase down on paper and store it securely offline.
No one, including Exodus support, can help if you lose this phrase.
Your new Web3 Wallet is now active!
Option 2 — Restore an Existing Wallet
If you already have a recovery phrase (from Exodus, MetaMask, Phantom, etc.):
Click “I Have a Wallet.”
Enter your 12-word recovery phrase.
Set a new password.
Exodus will import your wallet and compatible addresses.
⚠️ Always ensure you’re entering the recovery phrase in the correct order and that no one else can see it.
Backing Up Your Wallet (Essential Step)
Your 12-word recovery phrase is the only reliable method to restore access if you lose your device or password.
Backup best practices:
Write the phrase on paper or a metal seed backup tool (avoid digital storage).
Store copies in multiple secure physical locations.
Do not share it with anyone. Exodus will never ask for your phrase.
If you lose your recovery phrase, your crypto is gone forever.
Connecting to Web3 Apps (dApps)
Web3 Wallet’s primary power lies in connecting to decentralized applications such as:
Decentralized Exchanges (DEX)
NFT marketplaces
DeFi platforms (staking, lending, borrowing)
Blockchain games
DAO governance portals
How to Connect
Visit a Web3 site like Uniswap, OpenSea, Aave, or any approved dApp.
Click “Connect Wallet.”
Choose Exodus from the wallet options.
Approve the connection request in your Web3 Wallet.
After connecting, the site can read your wallet address and request transaction approvals. Make sure you verify all requests carefully.
Security Tip: Always disconnect from a dApp when you’re done using it (this prevents unauthorized interactions). Good security practice encourages disconnecting after use.
Sending & Receiving Crypto
With your Web3 Wallet set up, you can now send and receive crypto.
Sending Crypto:
Open Web3 Wallet and select the asset.
Click Send.
Paste the recipient’s address or scan a QR code.
Confirm network fees and finalize the transaction.
Receiving Crypto:
Click Receive.
Copy your wallet address or show your QR code.
Use this address when transferring funds from an exchange or another wallet.
Transactions require blockchain “gas” fees — usually in the network’s native token (like ETH on Ethereum).
Swaps & Portfolio Management
Inside Web3 Wallet, you can:
Swap tokens directly — no external accounts needed.
Track your portfolio across multiple chains.
**See real-time price changes and holdings summaries.
This lets you manage your crypto strategy from one interface.
NFTs and DeFi NFTs
Exodus supports viewing and interacting with NFTs you hold on supported networks via Web3 connections. You can manage, transfer, and connect to marketplaces that support your collectibles.
DeFi
Once connected to DeFi platforms:
Earn yield through staking and liquidity provision.
Participate in lending or borrowing protocols.
Explore new decentralized financial products with your crypto.
Security Considerations
Web3 and crypto come with inherent risks. Always follow best practices:
✔ Never share your recovery phrase. ✔ Confirm that you’re on the real dApp URL before connecting. ✔ Approve only transactions you initiated. ✔ Disconnect after use when possible.
Exodus support will never ask for your recovery phrase or private keys.
Troubleshooting
Not seeing certain assets? Some chains may not be supported by Web3 Wallet — use Exodus Desktop or Mobile to view full holdings.
Extension not loading? Make sure your browser is up to date and the extension is pinned.
Restore issues? Double-check your recover phrase spelling and order.
