Exodus Web3 Wallet | Exodus® Browser Extension
Presentation summary: A clear overview of the Exodus Web3 wallet and the Exodus® Browser Extension — features, security, use cases, installation flow, and resources for deeper reading.
What is the Exodus Web3 Wallet?
The Exodus Web3 Wallet is a user-first cryptocurrency wallet that integrates asset management, a portfolio interface, and Web3 dApp connectivity. It aims to deliver a polished experience for users who want to manage tokens, NFTs, and interact with decentralized applications through a secure, intuitive interface. The wallet prioritizes straightforward design, readable transaction details, and helpful recovery flows for non-technical users.
Key design principles
Exodus emphasizes three primary design pillars: simplicity, visual clarity, and layered security. The UI is crafted to reduce friction: clear balances, simple send/receive flows, and clear labeling of actions that impact funds. The security model centers on locally stored private keys (encrypted on the device), optional hardware wallet integration, and easy export/import of seed phrases.
About the Exodus® Browser Extension
The Exodus® Browser Extension acts as the bridge between users' wallets and Web3 sites. Installed into popular browsers, the extension securely exposes only the information necessary for decentralized applications to function: account addresses, signed transaction requests, and limited metadata. Importantly, sensitive operations remain gated by user confirmation in the extension UI.
Why use a browser extension?
Extensions streamline dApp interactions by keeping keys in the browser environment while avoiding the need to constantly switch devices. They are ideal for users who frequently access marketplaces, games, or DeFi sites from desktop browsers.
Common extension features
- Account management and multiple wallet support (multiple addresses or seeds)
- One-click connection to dApps and clear transaction signing flows
- Token and NFT display inside the extension
- Network selection (Ethereum mainnet, EVM-compatible networks)
- Hardware wallet pairing for advanced security
Security and best practices
Security is the highest priority when handling private keys. Exodus recommends the following best practices:
Store your seed phrase securely
Write down the seed phrase and keep it in a physically secure location. Do not store it in plain text on an internet-connected computer.
Use hardware wallets when possible
For larger holdings or frequent on-chain activity, pair your extension with a hardware device. This ensures private keys never leave the hardware.
Beware of phishing
Always verify domain names and the exact dApp permissions before approving requests. Use official links and bookmarks to access downloads and support pages.
Typical user flows
Installing and setting up
1) Download the extension, 2) create or import a wallet via seed phrase, 3) set a strong password for the extension, 4) back up your seed phrase. After setup, connect to a dApp and confirm the first transaction to test the flow.
Connecting to a dApp
When a site requests connection, the extension shows a request dialog listing the accounts and permissions requested. The user either approves or denies the connection. All signing requests show the intended transaction details (recipient, amount, gas estimate) before a signature is produced.
Use cases and audiences
The Exodus Web3 Wallet and extension are useful for:
- Casual collectors interacting with NFT marketplaces
- DeFi users accessing yield platforms and aggregators
- Developers testing integrations (with testnets)
- Everyday users who want a friendly, visual representation of their portfolio
