Exodus Web3 Wallet | Exodus® Browser Extension with Ledger
Introduction
Exodus Web3 Wallet is a browser extension that brings a self-custodial, multi-chain wallet experience to Chrome-based browsers (Chrome & Brave). It enables users to interact with decentralized applications (dApps), manage NFTs and tokens, and sign transactions from within the browser while retaining control of private keys. The extension complements Exodus desktop and mobile apps and supports hardware wallet integrations for stronger security.
:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}Core Features (What users get)
Exodus Web3 Wallet is designed for ease-of-use while offering advanced Web3 capabilities:
- Multi-chain support: Connect to popular networks such as Ethereum, Solana, and others supported by Exodus.
- dApp connectivity: Seamless wallet-to-dApp signing for DeFi, NFT marketplaces, and other Web3 services.
- Portfolio visibility: Track balances, token performance, and transaction history within the extension.
- Swap & NFT tools: Swap tokens and view/manage NFTs without leaving the browser.
Ledger Hardware Integration
For users seeking stronger key protection, Exodus supports pairing with Ledger hardware devices. When Ledger is connected, the private keys remain isolated on the hardware device while transaction signing is authorized by physical confirmation on the Ledger. This lowers the risk of key compromise from browser-based attacks or compromised hosts.

- Private keys never leave the hardware device.
- Physical confirmation is required for every transaction.
- Combines Exodus UX with Ledger’s strong key isolation.
Security Best Practices
Even with strong tools, user behavior matters. Back up your recovery phrase in a secure offline location, verify extension sources before installing, use hardware wallets for large balances, and keep software updated. Avoid installing browser extensions from unofficial or third-party sources.
Installing the Exodus Web3 Wallet
1. Visit Exodus official download / extension page. 2. Select the browser (Chrome or Brave). 3. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store (or via Exodus forwarder link). 4.
