Plain English

Exodus is a self-custody wallet founded in 2015 with desktop, mobile, and browser extension apps. Supports 250+ assets across 50+ blockchains. Built-in exchange via partnerships with shapeshift, ChangeNOW, and other providers — at retail markups.

How it actually works

Self-custody with 12-word seed phrase. The differentiator is design and ease of use — Exodus is known for its intuitive interface that abstracts away crypto complexity. Integrates with Trezor hardware wallets. Built-in staking for assets like Solana, Cardano, and Cosmos.

What it means for you

Exodus is the most popular “I want a beautiful wallet that works” choice for newer users. The built-in exchange is convenient but pays 2–5% over market rates — for active trading, use a real DEX or CEX. For HNW long-term holding, pair Exodus or any software wallet with a hardware wallet for cold storage.
