Exodus is a self-custodial, multi-chain wallet for desktop, browser and phone. You keep the keys and the recovery phrase, and this guide shows you which client fits and how to download it safely.
Exodus pairs the everyday convenience of an exchange app with the control of a self-custody wallet.
Your crypto lives in a wallet you control, not on an exchange. Nobody can freeze it or move it on your behalf.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and many more networks and tokens, all managed from a single wallet and balance view.
Exchange between assets and stake supported coins without leaving the wallet or handing over custody.
Connect a Trezor or Ledger to keep your keys in cold storage while still managing everything from Exodus.
Pick the client that matches how you hold crypto, or run more than one and sync them together with a QR code.
The full app for Windows, macOS and Linux, with portfolio tracking, built-in swaps, staking and hardware wallet support.
A lightweight wallet that connects to Web3 apps directly in Chrome, Brave, Edge and other Chromium browsers.
Manage your portfolio on the go on iOS and Android, then sync it with your desktop wallet whenever you need to.
Setting up a self-custody wallet is quicker than most people expect. Here is the whole process.
Get the app or extension straight from the official source, never from a search ad or a lookalike domain.
Set up a fresh wallet in under a minute, or bring back an existing one using your recovery phrase.
Write the 12 words on paper and store them offline. Anyone who has them can move your funds.
Send crypto from an exchange or another wallet, then swap, stake or connect to Web3 apps.
Exodus is non-custodial: the app generates and stores your private keys on your own device. Exodus never holds your funds and cannot access or recover them for you, which is exactly why the recovery phrase matters so much.
Self-custody puts you in control, which makes security a shared job. Here is the short version.
Your wallet is encrypted locally and protected by a password you set, so it stays private on your machine.
Those 12 words can restore your wallet anywhere. Write them on paper, keep them offline, and never share them.
Fake apps and search ads are the commonest way people lose funds. Get Exodus only from the official site or app store.
For larger holdings, pair a Trezor or Ledger to keep keys in cold storage while managing them from Exodus.
