Exodus® Web3 Wallet™ browser extension^

The Exodus® Web3 Wallet™ is a powerful, user-friendly, non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet designed to give you full control over your digital assets while opening the door to the exciting world of Web3. Launched as part of the broader Exodus ecosystem (which includes desktop and mobile apps), the Web3 Wallet is primarily a browser extension that lets you seamlessly connect to decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, blockchain games, and more—across multiple chains like Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and beyond. Unlike custodial wallets where a third party holds your keys, Exodus ensures you own your private keys and recovery phrase from day one. It's built for simplicity, beautiful design, and security, making it ideal for beginners and experienced users alike. In 2026, with Web3 adoption surging, Exodus Web3 Wallet stands out for its multichain support, integrated swaps, and easy dApp connectivity without compromising on privacy or ease of use. Why Choose Exodus Web3 Wallet? Exodus combines an intuitive interface with robust features:

Multichain compatibility — Manage assets on Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and dozens of other networks in one place. Web3 gateway — Connect to dApps effortlessly (think Uniswap, OpenSea, or Solana-based games). Built-in tools — Swap tokens, stake for rewards, buy crypto via partners, and track portfolios. Non-custodial security — Your keys stay on your device; no KYC required. Cross-platform sync — Pair with Exodus mobile or desktop for a unified experience.

Now, let's walk through getting started. Step 1: Download and Install the Wallet Always start from the official source to avoid scams or fake extensions. Visit www.exodus.com or directly head to the Chrome Web Store (or equivalent for Brave/Firefox if supported).

Go to exodus.com/web3-wallet or search "Exodus Web3 Wallet" in your browser's extension store. Click Add to Chrome (or equivalent) and confirm the installation. Once added, you'll see the Exodus icon in your browser toolbar. Pin it for quick access.

The extension is lightweight and works on Chromium-based browsers like Chrome, Brave, and Edge. Installation takes under a minute—no account signup or email needed. Step 2: Set Up Your Wallet After installation, click the Exodus icon to launch the setup wizard. You have two main options:

Create a New Wallet (recommended for most users starting fresh). Import/Restore an existing wallet (using your 12-word secret recovery phrase).

For a new wallet:

Select Create New Wallet. Set a strong password — this encrypts your local data. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols (at least 12 characters). Exodus generates your 12-word secret recovery phrase. This is the master key to your funds. Write it down on paper (never digitally). Store it securely offline (safe, vault, or metal backup). Never share it or enter it on any website.

Verify the phrase by re-entering select words as prompted. Confirm and complete setup.

Your wallet is now live! You'll see your portfolio dashboard with zero balances initially. Important Security Tip: The recovery phrase is your only way to recover funds if you lose access (device failure, etc.). Lose it, and your crypto is gone forever. Treat it like cash. Step 3: Fund Your Wallet To start using Web3 features, add crypto:

Receive crypto — Click an asset (e.g., ETH or SOL), select Receive, and copy your wallet address or scan the QR code. Send funds from an exchange (like Coinbase) or another wallet. Buy crypto — Use integrated partners (credit/debit card or bank transfer) to purchase directly into your wallet—no need to send from elsewhere. Swap assets — If you hold one token, swap it for another via built-in DEX aggregators for competitive rates.

Exodus supports hundreds of assets, so search for your favorites. Step 4: Connect to dApps and Explore Web3 This is where the magic happens. The Exodus Web3 Wallet shines as your portal to decentralized apps.

Visit a dApp site (e.g., app.uniswap.org, magiceden.io, or a DeFi protocol). Click Connect Wallet → select Exodus. Approve the connection in the extension popup (review permissions carefully—only approve what you trust). Interact: Swap tokens, stake, mint NFTs, play games, lend/borrow in DeFi, etc.

For Solana dApps, it handles seamless signing; same for EVM chains. Cross-chain bridges are often built-in or accessible via connected dApps. Pro Tip: Always double-check URLs to avoid phishing sites mimicking legitimate dApps. Step 5: Core Features to Master

Portfolio View — Track balances, values, and performance across chains. Send/Receive — Simple transfers with low fees; adjust gas/custom fees if needed. In-App Swap — Exchange tokens without leaving the wallet. Staking & Earning — Stake supported assets (e.g., SOL, ETH) for rewards. NFT Support — View and manage collectibles on Ethereum/Solana. Sync Across Devices — Pair your Web3 Wallet with Exodus mobile/desktop for seamless access.

Security Best Practices

Enable auto-lock on the extension. Use a hardware wallet (Ledger/Trezor) integration for added protection on large holdings. Beware of unsolicited messages asking for your seed phrase—Exodus never asks for it. Keep your browser and OS updated. Use strong, unique passwords and 2FA on linked exchanges.

Final Thoughts Getting started with Exodus® Web3 Wallet™ takes just minutes, but it unlocks endless possibilities in Web3. Whether you're swapping on DEXs, collecting NFTs, earning yields, or simply holding crypto securely, Exodus delivers a polished, beginner-friendly experience without sacrificing control or privacy.
