History & Background
Exodus launched in 2015 with a focus on design and simplicity. It became known for its clean portfolio view and built-in swap feature powered by ShapeShift and later proprietary DEX aggregators. While the core application is closed-source, portions of the codebase are open.
WalletGuard tracks every official release of Exodus and cross-references download hashes against the developer-signed artifacts so you can verify what you install.
Who should use Exodus
Best for: Beginners and casual users who want a polished multi-asset wallet with a built-in exchange and portfolio tracker.
Custody type: Self-custody
Risk profile: Hot wallet — keys stored locally. Closed-source core means less community auditability. Avoid storing large amounts long-term.
