Short summary: This presentation explains the Exodus Web3 browser extension, features, how to connect and use a Ledger hardware wallet with Exodus, security best practices, and official resources for download and support.
The Exodus Web3 Wallet is a browser extension that brings a multi-chain, non-custodial wallet experience directly into Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Brave). It allows users to connect to decentralized applications (dApps), manage tokens across supported networks, interact with NFTs, and perform on-chain swaps using Exodus’ integrated services. The extension complements Exodus Mobile and Desktop, offering a familiar interface for Web3 interactions while keeping user keys in the browser extension wallet.
Exodus positions the Web3 Wallet as a gateway to DeFi and NFTs, with multi-chain support and self-custody controls. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Below are the official links you may need when installing, configuring, or troubleshooting the Exodus Web3 Wallet and Ledger integration:
The extension supports a number of major chains (Ethereum, Solana, and others), enabling dApp connectivity and token management across networks without switching apps.
Exodus is self-custodial: users control their private keys and seed phrases. When paired with a hardware wallet (Ledger or Trezor), private keys never leave the device, giving an extra security layer for larger holdings. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
The extension provides UI flows to perform swaps and interact with NFTs directly — useful for DeFi trading or minting/collecting activities while connected to dApps.
Open the Chrome Web Store link (or Brave add-ons) and click Add to Chrome. Confirm extension permissions and pin it to the toolbar for easy access. Official listing: Chrome Web Store: Exodus Web3 Wallet. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Open the extension, choose “Create new wallet” to generate a new seed phrase, or “Restore wallet” to import an existing backup. Store the recovery phrase offline and never share it.
To pair a Ledger device: unlock your Ledger, open the appropriate app on Ledger (e.g., Ethereum), then use Exodus Mobile or Desktop flows described in Exodus support to add the Ledger portfolio. Ledger’s own support article can help with connectivity and troubleshooting. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
From a dApp (for example, an NFT marketplace or DeFi app), choose “Connect Wallet” and select Exodus from the wallet options. When using Ledger, approvals may be required on the hardware device for transactions.
Only download the extension from the official Chrome Web Store listing and follow links from exodus.com to avoid impersonators. Check the publisher name and reviews.
Hardware wallets like Ledger keep private keys offline. Pairing Exodus with Ledger ensures transaction signing happens on the device. See Exodus + Ledger for asset support and steps. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
Audit your browser extensions often; remove unused ones. Keep your browser and extension updated and be cautious with dApps that request excessive permissions.
When in doubt, confirm links against the official Exodus domain (exodus.com) and use Exodus Support for troubleshooting. Back up recovery phrases offline and store them securely.
