Comprehensive Knowledge Base & Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does Exodus guarantee true non-custodial security?

A: Exodus guarantees non-custodial security by implementing a strict policy where your 12-word secret recovery phrase (seed phrase) and encrypted private keys are generated and stored *only* on your local device. We never transmit, store, or have any access to this critical information. If you were to lose access to your device, you would use this recovery phrase to restore your wallet on a new device. This means you, and you alone, are responsible for securing your phrase. Our systems are incapable of initiating transactions or recovering funds without your local authentication and private key signature. This architectural choice is the single most important factor in defining our non-custodial promise, ensuring that digital asset sovereignty is maintained at all times, making it technically impossible for Exodus to interfere with user holdings. This fundamental commitment to decentralization informs every security decision made during development.

This robust indexing system allows for real-time updates to NFT value data, including sales history and collection statistics, offering collectors a professional-grade tool for managing their digital wealth and investment thesis across heterogeneous blockchain environments, maintaining unparalleled cross-chain visibility and operational efficiency.

Q: What is Exodus's policy on supporting new Layer-1s and Layer-2 Scaling Solutions?

A: Our policy is one of aggressive but responsible integration. We prioritize new Layer-1s (L1s) and Layer-2s (L2s) based on three criteria: security audit completeness, community demand, and developer adoption (measured by Total Value Locked and active smart contracts). New chain support is integrated natively into the core wallet and the browser extension simultaneously. For L2s, such as Optimism, Arbitrum, or zk-Rollups, we ensure the wallet correctly handles the bridging and gas fee dynamics specific to those scaling solutions. This continuous process of integration is fundamental to our mission of providing a single access point to the entire decentralized ecosystem, future-proofing the user's interaction with scaling technology as it evolves, and significantly reducing the technical burden on the end-user who would otherwise need to manually configure new networks.

Detail Booster: The development team utilizes an internal Chain Abstraction Layer (CAL) which allows for rapid implementation of new chain RPC endpoints and transaction formats while maintaining a consistent front-end user experience. This technical abstraction minimizes the development cycle for new blockchain additions, enabling Exodus to remain at the cutting edge of multi-chain support. The CAL is designed for maximal resilience and minimal reliance on external third-party indexing services, thereby improving both performance and security across all supported networks.

Q: How are gas fees managed and optimized within the Exodus ecosystem?

A: Gas fee management in Exodus is highly automated and user-centric. For major networks like Ethereum, we use a sophisticated, real-time Gas Oracle that pulls data from multiple sources to provide highly accurate, up-to-the-second fee estimates for "fast," "standard," and "low" transaction speeds. Users have the option to select a speed or to set a precise custom gas limit and price. For chains with different fee models (like Solana's priority fees or UTXO chains' satoshis/byte), the wallet adapts its display and calculation methodology, ensuring transparency and control across all environments. The Smart Fee feature dynamically adjusts based on current network congestion to ensure a high probability of timely confirmation without unnecessary overspending, saving the user significant transaction costs over time.

Detail Booster: This optimization also includes predictive modeling based on recent block history and mempool size, offering users a recommendation on whether to wait for a potential dip in network activity, particularly during peak trading hours. This proactive guidance is crucial for large-value transfers where every basis point saved on transaction costs contributes significantly to overall profitability. The fee management system is a constant area of refinement, leveraging machine learning principles to adapt to emerging market conditions and fee structures, such as EIP-1559 and similar network upgrades.
