Wanna use a crypto wallet for various coins and my friend told me about Exodus. Is it a good wallet? What props and cons it has? Thanks
-
Exodus is at least good for beginners with small amount to store, its the same for Coinomi and Trustwallet. But i won't use them for huge holdings. I will still prefer to use the specific official wallet for those altcoins and tokens then use Electrum for Bitcoin holdings with proper practice on sending and receiving coin with secured device..

Exodus is a close source wallet. You may like the experience it gives you but you do not know what is going on under because the public can not review its code. It might have spyware or a backdoor and it may be generating known-to-developers seed phrase. I can not recommend anyone to use the wallet.
I prefer Matamask and Unstoppable for altcoins.
For bitcoin, I prefer Electrum, Sparrow, Bluewallet and Unstoppable.

There is nothing bad in the use of exodus wallet, but know that its the best most recommended wallet for beginners to use, then later when you have been used to the whole idea behind using a wallet, you can move to advance with the use of wallets like electrum, passport, blue wallet sparrow and the likes, but for now, you can manage to use the exodus wallet till when you gain more thicker skin.

Exodus is not that bas as a beginner to start with, also, what is in consideration here is the fact that you wanted to have a crypto wallet that support for many coins and tokens, then i will advise that later you may have to consider the use of trust wallet or metamask after which you have been used to various kinds of wallets, but for now, you're still good with the use of exodus till then.

Exodus wallet is also supporting many altcoins. But I do not like it because it is not an open source wallet. Also Trust wallet is not open source. Metamask is one of the best altcoin wallet and it is open source although it is a web wallet. I prefer to use Unstoppable wallet first which is a mobile wallet. It is also open source.

For that amount of money, I don't think that closed source hot wallet like Exodus is the best solution.
Imho, hardware wallet like Trezor which costs less than $100 is much more appropritae and you will sleep much better. I know I did once I switched to a hardware wallet so safely store my crypto.

I once tried the Exodus wallet. If I'm not mistaken, at that time, it was because there was no application that I could use to connect the Trezor hardware wallet to a smartphone (currently, there is Trezor Suite Lite, although it cannot be used to send transactions).
I found an article about Exodus on the Trezor website:
https://trezor.io/learn/a/exodus-and-trezor?srsltid=AfmBOooAMIjTsNaqW7QMJ7Y0UYfBNzoDVIwe_jN7BDS0BJkai67cf8Iv (https://trezor.io/learn/a/exodus-and-trezor?srsltid=AfmBOooAMIjTsNaqW7QMJ7Y0UYfBNzoDVIwe_jN7BDS0BJkai67cf8Iv)
However, Exodus is third-party software, and Trezor does not provide a guarantee for its full functionality.

what you said is true, choose a wallet that is considered to be safe and private from all so that our assets are safe from other people. Every wallet has advantages and disadvantages depending on the person who uses it, but we must accept input from old people because they really understand things like that.

Unstoppable wallet is a good open source wallet. Not that it is a good bitcoin wallet, it is also having some altcoins. If I do not see the coin that I want on Unstoppable wallet, I can then go for Metamask. If I do not see any other open source option, I can then go for close source wallet. Exodus is a close source wallet which is the reason I can not tell anyone to use it first unless Unstoppable and Metamask do not have the coins the person wants.

Yeah exodus is not an open source wallet. However I'm not quite surprised since a majority of wallets that accept other crypto currencies apart from bitcoin for some reason are usually closed source. Personally I prefer using a bitcoin only wallet to store my bitcoins especially because it not only makes it easy to manage your coins buy also you have a wider option of various open source wallets to choose from.
If the device is a desktop or a laptop I suggest making use of ELECTRUM bitcoin wallet. If it's a mobile phone you could make use of either mycelium or blue wallet though Electrum is also ok. For altcoins I'll make use of unstoppable.

For such amount cold storage is mandatory, don't take any risk with any other kind of wallets, there are some open source wallets but it's good to use for small amount like 1 or 2K dollars worth of crypto maximum and since it exceeds 10K HW is mandatory.
Trezor 3 seems to be a good choice so if it's possible for you to buy from official website then buy it, if you're buying from a reseller then you have to be cautious.

If the Exodus wallet is not safe, don't use it, sir, so that you don't lose your assets. It's better to use a wallet that is truly safe from other people so that our assets are stored safely. Don't take the wrong steps in taking action and end up regretting it, but I don't forbid you from using this wallet.
-
Another thing that I don't like about Exodus, besides it's close source is that you don't have control of the fees or at least they are charging higher than usual. That's why I totally abandoned them for years and never used it again. Maybe it has improved already, but then for Bitcoin, it's better to used Electrum.
Metamask as well has gained some grounds throughout the years. But we all know that a hardware wallet is best, specially if we are going to keep a lot of crypto or save them for long term hold.

That's a nice suggestion for the op paying just a few dollars like about 1% of your hodlings to get a hardware wallet just to keep your coins safer is definitely a nice move. If the OP uses those coins for something like a business or something related where he has to transact constantly then there is no problem with home making use of a hot wallet only he has to be very careful with it so he doesn't lose his coins to some phishing or hack.
However if op strictly wants to HODL those coins then he should simply proceed to moving them to an airgapped device or hardware wallet preferably a new wallet.

Even that is a decent amount to start using a more secure hardware wallet... I myself have never used Exodus to store altcoins, seeing some posts above informing that Exodus is a wallet with closed source code, so that might be more convincing for me to choose another wallet. Indeed, sometimes something still looks safe when there are no incidents, but everything will be chaotic if we have become victims of cyber crime. My advice is to remain careful with the way we store assets, because hackers and fraudsters are always improving their intelligence.

Exodus wallet is a closed source wallet, i don't like closed source wallets, especially when i remember what happened to Atomic wallet users. Op i know you are looking for a multcoin wallet, but take note that it is probably better that you use a BTC wallet for BTC and an altcoin wallet for altcoins, i.e. Electrum or BlueWallet for BTC and unstoppable wallet for altcoins.

In addition to hardware wallets, there is the Unstoppable wallet, which is good for a multi-currency wallet. Also, if you exclude Bitcoin and Ethereum, your need for a wallet that supports all cryptocurrencies will not be great. It is better to sell the token that does not have an open source wallet or buy a hardware wallet.

Wanna use a crypto wallet for various coins and my friend told me about Exodus. Is it a good wallet? What props and cons it has? Thanks
it is safe so far i have not encountered any challenges when it came to security and privacy i also have not heard anyone share stories where they magically lost their funds while is it stored in that wallet
i would say tho that it has incredibly high fees but if you are not really going to be transferring a lot of coins to another and just going to store them there then i guess it is no problem
i would say that it is very user friendly since it’s easy to navigate through but quite laggy

It might not have displayed any kind of issue as of now but the fact that it is closed sourced makes it a bit risky to use to store coins for long term period.
We have other options that are open sourced and are way more secured than Exodus so that should be better than using Exodus.
If it’s just for daily transactions that are not large than I’d have no issue with using Exodus but since it has to do with long period then opting for Hardware or an very good open source wallet would be way better - we don’t even know how they generate their private key if there are any backdoors in the wallet for them to get access to those private keys.

That is very true, and buying a hardware wallet may be a good solution in this case, but most people who store tokens like this do not even have the intentions of storing it for a very long time. Their plan is to make money from it as soon as possible and sell it, so they may not even consider the option of spending their money on a hardware wallet.

I used to trust this wallet and have used it for almost five years , eventhough they are a close source wallet but after many users reported issues with their chose in wallet exchange I take out all my coins and dump it for Electrum, they should have used a more trusted third party exchange so they will not compromised their users funds and many users have reported that it took them months before the funds was returned.
There are other better wallet in the market so its worth looking on those trusted close source wallet than Exodus.

Exodus is good to use, easy to learn and comprehend with, but the cons are that its a close source and also a newbie kind of wallet, which if you think to be a pro user, you may have to consider more other advanced wallets than exodus, but as for a beginner, its a very recommendable wallet to start with, because of it easy usability, its not complex at all for one to grab on it use.

Yes,my comrade.Exodus is considered a relatively safe software wallet for storing cryptocurrency but generally,as with any common software wallet,it also has it'sown risk. Exodus is a non custodial wallet itswlf,and pertaining this,you have full control over ypur wallet without the intrusion of exodus itself.
One notable future that is commendable about the security of Exodus is it's homeginization with the trezor hardware wallet,which provides an additional layer of protection which allows users to keep their private keys offline which is particularly intriguing.This adds an extra layer of security .
What are your thoughts on this?

Nothing is 100% safe because your PC or smartphone can be hacked easily....but Exodus is a good wallet in general, I use it for a while.

Exodus is a good wallet. I have been using it for a long time without any problem. I think there are other good options such as trust wallet, metamask.

Warning to everyone who is using Exodus wallet!
If you have any Monero coins there move them asap because Exodus team is delisting XMR, and last deadline is August 2025.
Exodus is closed source and I suggest everyone to stop using this wallet and switch to better open source alternatives like Cake or Stack wallet, even better is hardware wallets Trezor or Keystone.

You can totally find this info on ChatGPT! I really think user reviews are super trustworthy and can give you way more valuable insights to check out and help you make your decision.
Personally, Exodus isn't my go-to. It's not really a big name in my circle. TrustWallet, Phantom, Coinbase, and Metamask have totally stolen the spotlight, and new investors tend to pick them over Exodus. They're pretty similar to use, and we can find tutorials all over the internet. We just need to pick the wallet app we vibe with the most!

remembering that there is a version of the stack for only bitcoin and monero and it's called stack duo, I am liking this stack wallet, it is the best open source multi-coin soft wallet... I haven't installed cake yet to test it.

For anyone switching from Exodus wallet I would strongly recommend using Cake wallet, because they are working with Exodus to make transition easy and smooth.
Cake is slightly better than Stack wallet in my opinion, mainly because of better support for Bitcoin Silent Payments, Litecoin mweb addresses, crypto cards service, etc.
Cake wallet recently added much faster syncing for Monero, that is another good thing.

Phantom and Metamask are good crypto wallets that I use and those are the best ones for altcoins. For Solana I prefer Phantom wallet and I use it but for other alt coins Metamask is the number one choice.

You can make use of exodus wallet if you're a beginner, because it is simple to use and understand, best for newbies, but if you think you're a pro in crypto and understands more about using wallet, then i will suggest that you make use of meta mask wallet which support many cryptocurrencies, its not also hard to understand, there are many others wallets you can also consider, but this are the most recommended given to you.
