Pros and cons
Pros
- Self-custody, so the keys and the balance stay with you: self custody.
- Software rather than hardware, so it runs on the devices you already use: software.
- Coin coverage of from 1,000,000, spanning major assets and the long tail alike.
- Backups use a seed, so recovery stays in your own hands: seed.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre, chat and community only, with no phone line among them.
- A seed backup concentrates the balance behind a single phrase.
- Software wallets keep keys on a device you control, where Trezor is a hardware wallet.
Who it suits
- People who want their own keys and self-custody: self custody.
- Holders of small-cap and niche assets, with from 1,000,000 supported.
- Users content to write down and guard a seed themselves.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants keys to sit on a dedicated device: Trezor is a hardware wallet.
- Phone-first users: Bit2Me is a mobile wallet.
- Readers who prefer a company to look after the balance: bynex is custodial.
Who runs it
Exodus runs as Exodus Movement, Inc., founded in 2015, and the product is a software wallet rather than a device. Because it is self-custody, the balance sits under your own key and the seed is what you depend on if something goes wrong. Support comes through help centre, chat and community, so most answers arrive in writing, in chat or from other users.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs Exodus?+
Exodus is run by Exodus Movement, Inc., a company founded in 2015. It builds the wallet as a software product, so the company ships app updates rather than a device. Support and documentation sit with the same company.
Does Exodus hold my coins for me?+
No. Exodus is self-custody: self custody, and that is the feature it is built around: self custody. Keys stay with you, so a lost seed or a failed device falls to you to recover, and no outside party steps in to restore a balance.
Is Exodus a software wallet or a hardware one?+
It is a software wallet: software. You install it on a device you control rather than plugging in dedicated hardware, which keeps hardware cost out of the picture but ties key security to that device. Trezor sits at the other end as a hardware wallet.
How many coins can Exodus hold?+
The coin list is the main argument for Exodus: from 1,000,000 are supported. That suits anyone holding small-cap or niche assets rather than a handful of majors, and it means one software wallet can cover a broad spread of a portfolio.
How is Exodus backed up?+
Backups use a seed: seed. You write the phrase down and keep it off the connected device, which keeps recovery in your own hands. Lose the phrase and the balance goes with it, so the backup deserves more care than the device.
How do I get help from Exodus?+
Support runs through help centre, chat and community. A help centre covers the common questions, chat handles the rest, and a community of users fills in around the edges. There is no phone desk named, so expect written answers and chat rather than a call.
Who should pick a different wallet?+
A dedicated device first: Trezor is a hardware wallet, which moves the keys off your computer. Phone-only users can consider Bit2Me, a mobile wallet. And anyone who wants a company to look after the balance can look at bynex, which is custodial.
