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

After installing the extension:
