Overview: What is Exodus Web3 Wallet?

Self-custodial browser extension

Exodus Web3 Wallet is a browser extension that acts as a bridge between your browser and decentralized applications (dApps). As a self-custodial wallet, Exodus allows users to hold and control private keys locally — meaning users retain ownership of their assets while enjoying a polished interface for sending, receiving, swapping tokens, and interacting with NFTs and DeFi protocols. The extension is designed to integrate with popular networks (Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and many more) so you can access the broader Web3 ecosystem directly from Chrome or compatible browsers.

Core benefits

Security through local key management, a user-friendly experience, multi-chain support, and integration with hardware wallets such as Ledger for enhanced safety.

Who this is for

Casual users exploring NFTs, traders doing quick swaps, and developers wanting a reliable Web3 provider that is widely compatible with dApps.

How Exodus integrates with Ledger® hardware

Why pair with Ledger?

Pairing Exodus with a Ledger hardware wallet adds a physical layer of security: private keys remain never exposed to the internet or the browser. Signing transactions requires physically approving them on the Ledger device, which dramatically reduces the risk of remote compromise. The combination balances convenience (Exodus' user experience) with Ledger's proven hardware security.

Typical workflow

User installs the Exodus Web3 extension, connects their Exodus app or profile, and then pairs a Ledger device through the Exodus interface. When interacting with a dApp, transaction requests are forwarded to Ledger for signing. The result is a fast, visual Web3 path with the assurance of hardware-based key isolation.

Compatibility notes

Ledger Nano devices and Ledger Live are often used in conjunction with Exodus. Check the respective compatibility pages and make sure firmware and apps are up to date before pairing.

Security and best practices

Keep firmware and software updated

Always run the latest firmware on your Ledger device and keep the Exodus extension and desktop/mobile apps updated. Regular updates include security patches and support for new networks.

Verify official sources

Only install the Exodus extension from the official Chrome Web Store listing or Exodus' site, and always verify you are on the legitimate exodus.com domain. Beware of phishing sites and fake extensions; check publisher details and reviews before installing.

Seed phrase safety

Never enter your Ledger recovery phrase into any browser or form. Ledger devices store the seed securely — treat recovery phrases as the ultimate backup and keep them offline in a safe location.

Using Exodus Web3 Wallet — core features

Connect to dApps

With the extension enabled, dApps will detect Exodus as a Web3 provider. You can sign in, view assets, approve contract interactions, and explore decentralized exchanges, NFT marketplaces, and on-chain games.

Swaps and cross-chain actions

Exodus’ in-extension swap features allow quick token swaps without leaving the wallet. Some swaps route through liquidity providers; always review fees and slippage before confirming.

Account management

Manage multiple accounts, review transaction history, and switch networks — all within a compact extension popup that’s designed for speed and clarity.

Developer & integration notes

Web3 provider support

Exodus exposes standard Web3 provider interfaces so dApps can detect and interact with it similarly to other popular wallets. Developers can include support for Exodus by implementing provider detection and handling account and network changes gracefully.

Resources

Exodus publishes documentation and developer resources for integrating with their browser extension; these resources help ensure compatibility and a smooth experience for users that choose Exodus as their provider.

Open-source components

Exodus maintains public repositories and developer docs for some components; check their official GitHub and docs pages for the latest developer guides and SDKs.
