How to enable and disable assets in your Exodus wallet?

Understanding Asset Management in Exodus Wallet

Exodus Wallet provides users with the ability to manage a wide variety of digital assets directly from their interface. One of the core features is the option to enable or disable specific cryptocurrencies. This functionality allows users to customize their wallet view, reducing clutter and focusing only on the assets they actively use. The process is intuitive and designed for both beginners and experienced users.

1. Open the Exodus application on your desktop or mobile device.
2. Navigate to the main portfolio screen where all available assets are listed.
3. Click on the 'Add Crypto' button, typically located at the bottom of the asset list.
4. A full list of supported cryptocurrencies will appear, showing both enabled and disabled assets.
5. To enable an asset, locate it in the list and click the toggle switch next to its name.

How to Disable Unwanted Cryptocurrencies

Disabling assets in Exodus helps streamline your wallet experience by hiding coins or tokens you're not currently using. This does not affect your holdings; your funds remain secure and can be re-enabled at any time. Disabling simply removes the asset from your main view.

1. Access the wallet dashboard and tap on the three-dot menu or settings icon near the search bar.
2. Select “Manage Assets” or “Add Crypto” to view all currently enabled and available cryptocurrencies.
3. Scroll through the list to find the assets that are already active (indicated by a filled toggle).
4. Click the toggle to turn it off, which will disable the selected cryptocurrency.
5. Confirm the action if prompted, and the asset will disappear from your main portfolio.

Benefits of Customizing Your Asset List

Customization enhances usability and reduces confusion, especially when managing multiple tokens across different blockchains. By enabling only the assets you frequently interact with, transaction tracking becomes more efficient. It also minimizes the risk of selecting the wrong token during swaps or transfers.

1. Improved visual clarity makes it easier to monitor portfolio performance.
2. Faster access to frequently used coins without scrolling through long lists.
3. Reduced chance of errors during sending, receiving, or exchanging assets.
4. Ability to focus on specific investment strategies by isolating relevant tokens.
5. Enhanced privacy by hiding low-balance or inactive accounts from casual view.

Re-enabling Previously Disabled Assets

If you've disabled a cryptocurrency and later decide to use it again, re-enabling is as simple as the initial setup. Your transaction history and balance remain intact, even after being hidden from view. This ensures continuity in tracking and managing your complete portfolio.

1. Go to the main wallet screen and select “Add Crypto” or “Manage Assets.”
2. Use the search bar to quickly locate the previously disabled cryptocurrency.
3. Find the asset in the list and click the toggle to enable it.
4. The asset will immediately reappear in your portfolio with all historical data preserved.
5. You can now send, receive, or exchange the asset as usual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does disabling an asset in Exodus delete my private keys?A: No. Disabling an asset only hides it from your interface. Your private keys and blockchain data remain fully intact and secured within your wallet.

Q: Can I still receive funds for a disabled cryptocurrency?A: Yes. Even if an asset is disabled, you can still receive funds to your existing addresses. However, the balance won’t be visible until you re-enable the asset.

Q: Are there any fees associated with enabling or disabling assets?A: There are no fees charged by Exodus for managing your asset list. Blockchain transaction fees only apply when sending or swapping cryptocurrencies.

Q: Will disabling a token affect staking rewards or accrued interest?A: No. If you’re earning rewards through integrated staking or yield programs, those continue unaffected. Rewards accumulate on-chain regardless of visibility in the wallet interface.
