What is the Exódus® Web3 Wallet?
The Exódus® Web3 Wallet is a browser extension and mobile companion that lets you manage crypto, interact with decentralized apps (dApps), and securely sign transactions. The Exódus® Browser brings Web3 to websites while keeping private keys encrypted locally on your device.
Install the Exódus® Browser Extension
- Open your preferred browser (Chrome/Brave/Edge).
- Visit the official Exódus® download page: exodus.com.
- Click Get Extension and follow the browser's prompts to add the Exódus® Browser extension.
- Once installed, pin the extension for easy access and create or restore a wallet using a secure seed phrase.
Create and Secure Your Wallet
- Create a strong password and enable biometric unlock (if available).
- Write down the recovery phrase exactly and store it offline — never share it digitally.
- Set up an additional passphrase for extra account-level protection if you need plausible deniability.
- Enable any built-in security features like auto-lock timers and phishing protection.
Connecting to dApps via Exódus® Browser
When visiting a Web3-enabled site, the Exódus® Browser will prompt you to connect. Always verify the site URL, review requested permissions, and confirm transactions on the extension UI before approving.
// Example: connect flow
exodus.connect({
app: 'My dApp',
permissions: ['eth_accounts', 'sign']
});
Managing Assets & Swaps
Use the built-in portfolio view to track balances and the swap feature to exchange assets without leaving the extension. Confirm fees and slippage before executing swaps, and start with small test amounts if you’re new.
Troubleshooting & Tips
- If the extension behaves oddly, try locking and unlocking the wallet or reinstalling the extension from the official site.
- Clear your browser cache if pages fail to connect to the extension.
- Never enter your recovery phrase into websites — recovery is performed only in the extension or official apps.
