Exodus Web3 Wallet – Features, Security, and How to Access Your Funds
Introduction to Exodus Web3 Wallet
Exodus Web3 Wallet was a browser extension designed to help users manage supported cryptocurrency assets and connect to decentralized applications (dApps). It provided access to Web3 services, supported blockchain networks, and tools for sending, receiving, and swapping digital assets.
Important update: Exodus discontinued support for its Web3 Wallet browser extension on October 1, 2026. New users can no longer install it, and the extension can no longer be used to send, receive, or view balances. Existing users should follow Exodus's official instructions to access their funds through a compatible wallet. <Cite refs={["turn914728search4"]} />
What Happened to the Exodus Web3 Wallet Extension?
The browser extension previously offered a convenient way to connect to blockchain applications through compatible browsers such as Chrome and Brave.
Following its discontinuation, users should not rely on older installation guides or third-party websites that still advertise the extension as available. Instead, visit the official Exodus website and support center for current guidance.

How to Access Funds From an Existing Wallet
If you previously stored assets in Exodus Web3 Wallet, your funds may still be accessible through the wallet's recovery information. Follow the official recovery instructions carefully.
Step 1: Check Your Existing Extension
If the extension is still installed, Exodus says you may be able to open it to view your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase. The extension itself is discontinued, so do not expect its normal wallet functions to work.
Do not uninstall the extension before checking the official instructions if you still need to retrieve your recovery phrase. Exodus states that uninstalling it prevents you from viewing that phrase through the extension. <Cite refs={["turn914728search4"]} />
Step 2: Choose a Compatible Wallet
Exodus recommends restoring your wallet in Exodus Mobile or another compatible wallet that supports the relevant blockchain networks.
Before importing recovery information, verify the wallet's authenticity and check that it supports the networks and assets you hold.
Step 3: Restore Your Wallet Carefully
Use the chosen wallet's official recovery process. Confirm that the correct accounts and supported networks appear after restoration.
Some wallets support different networks or address formats, so an asset may not appear automatically even when the wallet has been restored.
Step 4: Protect Your Recovery Phrase
Your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase controls access to your wallet. Anyone who obtains it may be able to take your assets.
Never share it with customer support, enter it into an unfamiliar website, or send it through email or messaging apps.
Features the Extension Previously Offered
Before discontinuation, Exodus Web3 Wallet provided features including:
Multi-chain asset management: View supported digital assets across several blockchain networks.
Web3 connections: Connect to compatible decentralized applications.
Crypto transfers: Send and receive supported assets.
Token swaps: Access supported exchange services.
DeFi and NFT access: Interact with compatible blockchain-based applications.
These descriptions refer to the extension's previous functionality and should not be interpreted as confirmation that the discontinued extension remains operational. <Cite refs={["turn914728search3","turn914728search4"]} />
Security Tips When Moving to Another Wallet
Moving wallet access requires particular care because recovery phrases provide control over the associated funds.
Download wallet software only from its official website or verified app-store listing.
Confirm network compatibility before sending or restoring assets.
Never disclose your Secret Recovery Phrase or private keys.
Be cautious of websites claiming to reactivate the discontinued extension.
Ignore unsolicited messages offering to recover funds for a fee.
Review the recipient address and network before making a transfer.
Keep a secure offline backup of your recovery information.
Only import recovery information into a wallet you trust. A fake recovery page can compromise every asset controlled by that phrase.
