Exodus
Exodus Movement
Exodus is a multichain self-custody wallet for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), mobile (iOS, Android) and browser extension: private keys stay on the user's device, protected by a 12-word recovery phrase (BIP-39 standard). It is known for its polished interface and the built-in XO Swap exchange, a proprietary cross-chain aggregator, alongside staking, a fiat on-ramp and Web3 support. It supports pairing with Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets. Its main limitation is that the app code is closed-source: it cannot be independently verified.

Strengths

In its favour: available on desktop, mobile and browser extension with a highly polished interface; built-in cross-chain exchange/swap (XO Swap), staking and fiat on-ramp; no account or email required.
