The Exodus Web3 Wallet is a browser extension that allows you to interact with decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi protocols, and NFT marketplaces directly from your browser. It brings the same clean, intuitive design and multi-chain support from Exodus desktop and mobile into a lightweight extension for Chrome and Brave browsers .
The Exodus Web3 Wallet is a self-custody browser extension. Your private keys and recovery phrase remain on your device, and Exodus does not have access to your funds. You retain full control of your assets while connecting to the broader Web3 ecosystem .
It is designed to serve as a single gateway to multiple blockchain networks, eliminating the need to install separate extensions for Ethereum, Solana, or other ecosystems .
Installing the Exodus extension takes less than one minute.
Step 1: Visit the official Exodus download page at exodus.com .
Step 2: Click "Install for Chrome and Brave" .
Step 3: You will be directed to the Chrome Web Store. Click "Add to Chrome" (or "Add to Brave" if using Brave browser) .
Step 4: Confirm by clicking "Add extension" in the pop-up window .
Step 5: Pin the extension to your browser toolbar by clicking the puzzle piece icon in the top right corner, then clicking the pin icon next to Exodus .
Step 6: Open the extension and choose "Create a new wallet" or "Import existing wallet" using your 12-word secret recovery phrase .
After installation, always back up your 12-word recovery phrase on paper and store it securely offline .
The Exodus extension supports multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Base, and others. You can connect to dApps across these networks without switching wallets .
You can exchange cryptocurrencies directly within the extension. Swaps are routed through third-party providers such as Changelly and ChangeNOW, and the full quote—including spread and network fees—is displayed before confirmation .
The extension displays your complete multi-chain portfolio with real-time price updates and balance charts, consistent with the Exodus desktop and mobile experience .
While the extension itself is a software wallet, you can pair Exodus Desktop with Trezor hardware wallets for enhanced security. This workflow keeps private keys offline while you manage assets through the Exodus interface .
The extension supports NFT viewing, particularly on the Solana network, through integration with Magic Eden .
The Exodus Web3 Wallet supports a wide range of networks, including:
Exodus lists over 260 assets across its platforms. For the most current list of networks and tokens supported specifically in the browser extension, refer to Exodus official documentation .
Exodus is non-custodial. Your private keys are encrypted locally with AES-256 and never leave your device. Exodus cannot access your funds or recover your wallet .
You do not need to provide personal information to install or use the Exodus extension for sending, receiving, or storing crypto. Third-party swap providers may apply their own KYC requirements depending on jurisdiction and transaction size .
Exodus runs a public bug bounty program on HackerOne, encouraging security researchers to identify and report vulnerabilities .
Important note: The Exodus browser extension is currently listed as out of scope for the HackerOne bug bounty program. This means security researchers are not permitted to test the extension for vulnerabilities under the official program .
Positive feedback:
Reported issues:
1. Always test with small amounts first. When using a new network or interacting with an unfamiliar dApp, send a small test transaction before moving larger balances .
2. Never enter your recovery phrase into any website. Only enter your 12-word phrase directly into the Exodus extension during wallet setup or restoration. No legitimate dApp or website will ever ask for your seed phrase .
3. Separate wallets for different purposes. Consider maintaining one wallet for long-term holdings and a separate wallet for daily dApp interactions. This limits potential losses from malicious approvals or wallet drainers .
4. Review transaction approvals carefully. Read what permissions you are granting before signing. Malicious dApps can request approval to spend unlimited amounts of your tokens .
5. Keep the extension updated. Exodus releases regular updates. Ensure you are running the latest version to receive security patches and new features .
