Exodus Wallet Review: The multi-crypto, multi-function crypto wallet

Exodus Wallet is a multichain cryptocurrency wallet built by Exodus Movement. It was released in 2018 and is designed for cross-blockchain compatibility and exchanges. It is also compatible with many cryptocurrency exchange platforms, decentralized finance (DeFi), and decentralized applications (dApps) across many blockchains. This allows for compatibility with millions of tokens and non-fungible tokens (NTFs). In our Exodus Wallet review, you’ll learn everything you need to know about Exodus, as well as how to create an Exodus wallet.

What is Exodus?

The Exodus wallet is a self-custody wallet used to store and transact Bitcoin (BTC) and other altcoins and NFTs. It boasts over 25 million users and is available for desktop and mobile devices. It supports over 260 cryptocurrencies and has a user-friendly interface and provides live updates on the price indexes of altcoins stored in your wallet, as well as enabling token swapping and staking of some cryptocurrencies. It also allows users to buy crypto with fiat currencies in-app, with investments starting at $1, depending on the cryptocurrency.

How does Exodus work?

Exodus Wallet is a self-custody wallet that allows you to store and transact your cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and other digital assets. It also allows for staking and cross-chain swapping of certain cryptocurrencies, in addition to providing up-to-date prices and tracking charts for various cryptocurrencies.

It does this by connecting with certain platforms and integrating the data drawn from those sources into its own platform. This makes it easier for you to check price updates at a glance without needing to manually open the various cryptocurrency exchange and NFT marketplace platforms yourself. Your NFTs can also be viewed in a single NFT gallery. An additional feature is that you can buy and sell cryptocurrency for fiat, with the fiat being transferred directly to and from your bank account. The minimum amount you can purchase with fiat will vary between blockchains, but averages around $7. All transactions are facilitated through Ramp and MoonPay.

1. Bitcoin (BTC)
