Setup — Step by step

  1. Download Exodus for your platform (desktop, mobile, extension).
  2. Create a new wallet and choose a strong password/passcode.
  3. Write down the 12-word secret recovery phrase exactly as shown — this is the only restore method.
  4. Verify your backup by restoring on a test device if possible.
Always store the seed offline (paper or metal backup). Never share it digitally.

Pro tips

  • Use a hardware wallet for large balances (Exodus supports Trezor integration).
  • Check the official download page to avoid phishing.

Security essentials

Security starts with the secret phrase. Exodus never has access to your private keys — if anyone asks for your 12-word phrase, it's a scam. Protect your device with OS-level controls, use a hardware wallet for high value holdings, and keep software up to date. Exodus publishes security guidance in their knowledge base for best practices.

Common threats: phishing sites, fake support, malicious browser extensions.

Using Web3 dApps safely

When connecting to dApps, verify the site URL, confirm requests in the wallet UI, and limit token approvals (use “allowance” tools). Consider using a small “hot” wallet for dApp interactions and keeping your main holdings in a separate cold or hardware wallet.

Daily checklist

  • Confirm exact URL and SSL lock
  • Review permissions before approving
  • Disconnect dApps after use
