Exódus® Web3 Wallet | Exódus® Browser Extension® & Secure Access

A concise, visual presentation for teams — features, install, security, and integration (1200 words)

Overview

Exódus® Web3 Wallet is a browser extension designed for secure, convenient access to decentralized apps and assets. This presentation covers the extension's core features, installation & onboarding, security model, developer integration points, and recommended best practices for teams and users.

Why choose Exódus® Web3 Extension?

User-first UX: Simple onboarding with visual recovery and clear transaction flows.
Broad asset support: Built-in support for major chains and token standards.
Secure key management: Non-custodial keys stored locally with encryption and optional hardware wallet pairing.

Key Features

Seamless dApp Connectivity

Works with popular dApps via standard provider APIs (e.g., window.ethereum and JSON-RPC), with permissioned connectors and account scoping.

Built-in Portfolio & Swap

View balances, track portfolio performance, and swap tokens in-extension using routed liquidity sources.

Hardware Wallet Support

Pair Ledger or other supported devices for an extra layer of offline key security and transaction signing.

Installation & First-Run

Step-by-step

Install the Exódus® extension from the official site or your browser's extension store.
Create a new wallet: generate a secure recovery phrase or import an existing one.
Set a strong password for local encryption — this locks the extension UI.
Enable optional security features: hardware pairing, biometric unlock (if supported).

Onboarding tips

Show clear, bite-sized screens for recovery phrase safety. Encourage offline backups and explain phishing risks before the user performs their first transaction.

Security Model

Security is central: Exódus® prioritizes local key custody, encrypted storage, and optional hardware signing.

Local Key Storage

Private keys and recovery seeds are encrypted with the user's password using modern KDFs and AES-based encryption. The extension never transmits the seed off-device.

Permissions & Privacy

The extension requests minimal permissions — account access is explicit and scoped. Network-level requests can be routed through user-configurable nodes or default public RPCs.

Best Practices

Never share your recovery phrase. Exodus staff will never ask for it.
Verify the extension source before installing; prefer the official website link above.
Pair a hardware wallet for large balances or frequent trading.

Security FAQs

What if my extension is compromised?

If you suspect compromise, immediately move funds to a new wallet with a new recovery phrase and revoke site permissions where possible.

How does Exodus protect against phishing?

Clear transaction previews, destination checks, and sign prompts help reduce phishing risk. Users should always confirm addresses on hardware devices when paired.

Developer & Integration Notes

Development teams can integrate Exódus® with dApps using established provider conventions. Consider the following when designing your integration.

Wallet API & Events

Exódus® exposes provider objects that follow popular standards for account access, chain switching, and JSON-RPC calls. Applications should gracefully handle user-rejection, account changes, and chain changes.

Recommended UX Patterns

Request only the minimum permission set required for an action.
Show clear, human-readable transaction descriptions and gas estimates.
Provide fallbacks or explanatory help when the user has no accounts connected.

Security-first Integration

When requesting signatures, include contextual metadata in the dApp UI so users can confirm intent (amount, recipient, purpose). When possible, support EIP-712 style typed-data for readable signing experiences.

Sample connection snippet

async function connect() {
  if (window.ethereum) {
    const accounts = await window.ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts' });
    return accounts[0];
  }
  throw new Error('Wallet not found');
}
