Executive Summary
Exodus® provides a polished Web3 wallet experience across desktop, mobile, and a browser extension. This presentation outlines the extension's benefits, UX flow, security model, supported blockchains and tokens, developer touchpoints, and recommended user flows for onboarding and safe usage. The text below is crafted to be copy-pastable into a slide or single-page handout.
Why Exodus Browser Extension?
Exodus focuses on approachable design for newcomers while delivering power features for experienced users: built-in portfolio tracking, fiat on-ramps, hardware wallet support, and broad token compatibility. The extension acts as a lightweight gateway to Web3 with familiar wallet UX patterns (connect, sign, approve).
Core value props
- Simple onboarding and seed phrase backup flow.
- Seamless integration with Exodus Desktop and Mobile for cross-device sync.
- Compatibility with major networks (Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche, Solana via bridge) and ERC-20/ERC-721 tokens.
- One-click connect and transaction signing for dApps with clear permission prompts.
Security model (h3)
Exodus uses locally stored encrypted keys; the extension keeps private keys on-device. Users are prompted to create a secure password and to record a recovery phrase during setup. For advanced security, Exodus supports connecting to hardware wallets — keep your seed offline.
Security checklist (h4)
- Always save your 12/24-word recovery phrase and store it offline.
- Enable OS-level screen lock and do not share seed or private keys.
- Verify extension source: only install official Exodus extension from the browser store or Exodus website.
- Use hardware wallet pairing for large balances.
Onboarding flow (h3)
- Install the Exodus Browser Extension from the official source.
- Create a new wallet: set a strong password and write down the recovery phrase.
- Fund your wallet with a small test transaction to confirm network connectivity.
- Connect to a dApp: review permissions and gas estimates before approving transactions.
Best practices for dApp interactions (h3)
Treat approvals like permissions on your phone: only grant access to accounts you control, and prefer limited allowance approvals where supported. Regularly audit connected sites and revoke permissions via wallet settings.
Developer & integration notes (h3)
Exodus extension exposes standard Web3 provider APIs compatible with most dApps. Developers can detect the provider and request accounts via the usual window.ethereum methods — always program for graceful fallback when the provider is absent.
Integration tips (h4)
- Detect provider existence and guide users to install the extension if missing.
- Show clear UX for gas estimation and nonces; display full transaction details before signing.
- Offer human-readable descriptions for what your smart contract does to reduce accidental approvals.
Accessibility & localization (h5)
Ensure UI strings are localizable, maintain adequate contrast (this template uses high contrast), and support keyboard navigation for approvals and cancel actions.
