Exodus Web3 Wallet®

Welcome to Exodus Web3 Wallet

The Exodus Web3 Wallet® is a non-custodial, browser-based crypto wallet that allows you to interact with decentralized applications (DApps), manage crypto assets, and explore the world of NFTs—all with a beautiful, intuitive interface. This guide will help you set up your wallet, understand its features, and navigate Web3 safely.

What is a Web3 Wallet?

A Web3 wallet is your gateway to the decentralized internet. Unlike traditional banking apps or exchange accounts, Web3 wallets let you control your assets directly, using cryptographic keys. With Exodus Web3, you can securely:

• Connect to DeFi platforms
• Trade tokens on DEXs
• Store and display NFTs
• Use multiple blockchains in one place

Step 1: Installing the Exodus Web3 Wallet

Exodus Web3 Wallet is available as a browser extension for Chrome, Brave, and Edge.

1. Go to the official Exodus site: exodus.com/web3-wallet
2. Click "Download Web3 Wallet"
3. Follow prompts to install the browser extension
4. Pin it to your browser toolbar for easy access

Step 2: Creating Your Wallet

After installing the extension:

• Click the Exodus icon
• Choose “Create New Wallet”
• Securely write down your 12-word recovery phrase
• Set a strong password

Reminder: Your 12-word phrase is your only backup. Never store it online or take a screenshot.

Step 3: Exploring the Dashboard

Once inside, you'll find:

• Assets: View balances across multiple blockchains
• NFTs: Visual gallery of owned tokens
• Apps: Browse and connect to DApps
• Settings: Change network, currency, theme, etc.

Step 4: Adding Funds to Your Wallet

To interact with DApps, you’ll need crypto in your wallet. Exodus Web3 supports:

• Ethereum (ETH)
• Solana (SOL)
• BNB Smart Chain (BNB)
• Polygon (MATIC)

You can fund your wallet by sending tokens from:

• Centralized exchanges like Coinbase or Binance
• Other wallets such as Exodus Desktop or Mobile

Step 5: Connecting to DApps

Interacting with DApps is one of the core features of Exodus Web3. To connect:

1. Navigate to a DApp (e.g., Uniswap, Aave, OpenSea)
2. Click “Connect Wallet”
3. Select “Exodus Web3 Wallet”
4. Approve the connection in your extension

You are now ready to trade, lend, or mint NFTs using your Exodus Wallet.

Step 6: NFT Management

NFTs are digital collectibles or assets stored on blockchain networks. With Exodus:

• View your Ethereum and Solana NFTs in one place

• Send NFTs to others safely

With great control comes great responsibility. Here are some best practices:

• Write down and securely store your recovery phrase
• Enable a strong password in the extension
• Don’t connect to suspicious DApps
• Double-check URLs before connecting
• Disconnect from DApps when not in use

Step 8: Customizing Your Wallet

Exodus Web3 lets you customize:

• Dark or Light theme
