Exodus’s biggest claim to fame is its intuitive, user-friendly platform. The Exodus desktop walletaims to give you plenty of features to control an entire cryptocurrency portfolio, but it is designed for people who have never actually used an exchange.
Exodus is the first desktop wallet with full ShapeShift functionality.
What is Exodus?****
Exodus is software to secure, manage and trade blockchain assets.
Just as the internet opened the free exchange of information, blockchains evolve the exchange of financial assets. Traditional brokerage accounts have slow settlement with limited hours in established jurisdictions. In contrast, blockchain markets are hyper-speed-24/7-worldwide markets available to anyone, any age, anywhere.
Similar to a traditional Stock market, there are thousands of distinct blockchain asset s. Bitcoin was the first blockchain asset- other popular blockchain asset s include Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dash. Just like traditional stock, each blockchain asset carries unique properties and is priced by markets independently. These blockchain asset s inherently have different utility, areas of focus, values, beliefs and overall culture backing the asset. [1]
Those familiar with traditional finance can think of Exodus [1] as a self-managed brokerage account for a new class of investments called blockchain assets, digital assets or Cryptocurrency.
Features
Multi-Asset Wallet

Exodus is always on the lookout to support more assets.
In order for an asset to be considered, the following criteria must be met:
The asset has developer resources and documentation.
An asset has specialized API servers with load balancing setup for private use by Exodus.
This is much easier if the API is based on Bitpay Insight.
Market cap and 24-hr volumes are considered.
Top-50 or perceived potential to enter the top-50.

Security
Exodus is wholeheartedly supportive of every individual's right to privacy and full control of their funds. We've incorporated these principles into our technical design choices for the Exodus Wallet.
Unlike your bank account or stock portfolio, Exodus (the company) doesn't actually hold any of your assets on your behalf. You control your assets through a set of private keys generated from when you first opened your Exodus Wallet. The private keys to your blockchain assets are generated and encrypted locally and stored on your computer. These keys are never stored on the cloud, and they remain 100% for your eyes only, 100% in your control. [1]
When broadcasting and receiving transaction information, Exodus connects to a network of Insight Servers.
An insight server is a computer server that handles the communication of transactions and keeps track of updates to the ledgers of one or more cryptocurrencies. These insight servers are operated by many different companies and groups, none of which include Exodus (Wallet). Your transaction history is backed up to Exodus in an encrypted format, so we can't know how much money you hold in your wallet.
