Exodus is a self-custody cryptocurrency wallet built by Exodus Movement, Inc., founded in 2015. It gives users direct control of their private keys across desktop apps (Windows, macOS, Linux), mobile apps (iOS, Android), a browser/Web3 extension, and integrations with Trezor and Ledger hardware wallets, with balances and activity synced across devices. Exodus supports over 1,000,000 crypto assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and Solana, and lets users buy, sell, swap, and stake directly inside the app. Its built-in swap feature exchanges assets at rates starting around 0.5%, and users can buy or sell crypto with a credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Security is passkey-based (no password to manage), with recovery-phrase backup and private keys stored locally on the user's device rather than on Exodus servers. Beyond the core wallet, Exodus offers Exodus Pay for sending instant payments and an Exodus Card for spending crypto-backed balances worldwide via Apple Pay and Google Pay, with cashback rewards on card spend. Exodus itself does not charge network/blockchain fees (those go to the underlying blockchain), and third-party providers handle card issuance and some swap/buy services under their own terms.

Cons
Built-in swap fees (from ~0.5%) and network fees make it costlier than trading directly on a low-fee exchange
