Introduction
The Exódus® Web3 Wallet and its browser extension provide a polished gateway to Web3. The extension is designed to be intuitive for both newcomers and experienced users: it secures private keys locally, simplifies chain switching, and integrates token management, dApp connections, and hardware wallet support while preserving clear UX patterns.
Why choose Exódus®?
Security-first design
Exódus® stores private keys encrypted on the user’s device and offers optional integration with hardware wallets for enhanced cold storage. It prioritizes permissioned connections: dApps must request explicit approvals and users can set session scopes and expiration.
Ease of use
The extension provides one-click network switches, transaction previews with readable gas and fee breakdowns, and a familiar onboarding flow. Built-in token search and portfolio views make tracking assets simple and approachable.
Key features
- Encrypted local vault and optional hardware wallet pairing.
- Multi-chain support with deterministic account derivation.
- Permissions management and transaction detail previews.
- Token portfolio, NFT gallery, and portfolio export capability.
- Seed phrase backup helpers and step-by-step recovery guidance.
Installation & onboarding (quick guide)
Install the extension
Install from the official browser web store for Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. After install, create a new wallet or import an existing seed phrase. Follow the guided steps to set a strong password and choose whether to enable cloud sync (optional).
Connect to dApps
When a dApp requests connection, Exódus® will show a clear permission dialog, listing requested addresses and the requested actions. Approve only known sites and review permissions carefully before granting access.
Best practices & governance
Security hygiene
Always keep your recovery phrase offline and only enter it into the official recovery flow. Use hardware wallets for large balances. Regularly audit connected dApps and revoke unused permissions.
Privacy & transparency
Exódus® aims to minimize telemetry and explain any data collection in plain language. Users retain control of on-chain identifiers and can manage which analytics (if any) are enabled.
Enterprise & team use
Team deployments
Teams can adopt the browser extension for internal testing, secure sign-offs, and token management during product development. Role-based processes and shared policy documents help reduce operational risk.
Integration ideas
Integrate Exódus® with internal dashboards, automate wallet provisioning for dev/test environments, or use read-only portfolio exports as part of financial reporting.
Conclusion & next steps
Exódus® Web3 Wallet and the browser extension provide a balanced mix of security, usability, and extensibility for anyone building, testing, or using Web3 applications. Start with a small test amount, review permissions, and gradually expand usage as confidence grows.
