At Exodus Web3 Wallet™, security isn’t just a feature — it’s the foundation. Every layer of the wallet has been engineered to protect your crypto and identity. Your private keys are encrypted locally and never leave your device, ensuring that no third party can ever access your funds. Exodus uses state-of-the-art AES-256 encryption and biometric authentication to give you military-grade protection with human-level simplicity.
Unlike exchanges or hosted wallets, Exodus is entirely non-custodial. That means only you have control over your crypto. You can back up your wallet using a secure 12-word recovery phrase — a decentralized safeguard that ensures even if you lose your device, your assets remain recoverable by you and no one else.
The backup process is encrypted end-to-end. Exodus automatically generates encrypted recovery data and stores it locally. Your information is never uploaded or exposed. The 12-word seed phrase is the only way to restore your wallet, keeping hackers and third parties completely locked out.
Exodus actively helps users identify phishing attempts. It verifies all dApp connections, alerts you to suspicious contracts, and provides in-app education for secure transactions. With real-time signature previews, you always know what you’re signing before approving any Web3 transaction.
