What are the fees for using the Exodus exchange?

Exchange Integration Fees

1. Exodus does not operate its own centralized exchange. Instead, it integrates third-party liquidity providers such as Changelly, CoinSwitch, and others to enable in-wallet token swaps.

2. These integrated services charge variable fees based on market conditions, asset pair volatility, and network congestion levels at the time of execution.

3. A typical fee ranges between 0.5% and 2.0%, depending on the selected provider and trade size. Some providers may also apply fixed minimum fees for low-value transactions.

4. Users can view the exact fee breakdown—including spread, network fee, and service fee—before confirming any swap inside the Exodus interface.

Network Transaction Fees

1. When swapping tokens across different blockchains, Exodus displays the required gas or network fee separately from the exchange fee.

2. These fees are determined by the underlying blockchain (e.g., Ethereum, BSC, Polygon) and fluctuate based on real-time demand for block space.

3. Exodus pulls live gas price estimates directly from node APIs and presents them in fiat equivalents before transaction submission.

4. Users retain full control over gas settings on supported chains—manual adjustment is possible for advanced users seeking faster confirmation or lower cost.

Wallet Custody and Storage Costs

1. Exodus is a non-custodial wallet. It does not charge storage fees, custody fees, or account maintenance fees for holding assets locally.

2. Private keys remain encrypted on the user’s device; no third party has access or incurs operational overhead that would justify recurring charges.

3. Backup restoration using the 12-word recovery phrase is free and does not require subscription or verification payments.

4. The desktop and mobile applications are offered at no cost, with no hidden licensing or usage-based billing tiers.

Staking and Yield Features

1. Exodus supports staking for select Proof-of-Stake assets including ETH, ADA, SOL, and DOT directly within the wallet interface.

2. Staking rewards are distributed automatically without intermediary commissions—the wallet only deducts the native blockchain’s validator commission, which varies per network.

3. No additional Exodus-imposed fee is applied during delegation, reward claiming, or unstaking operations.

4. Users must pay standard network fees when initiating unstake or withdraw actions, but these are transparently sourced from chain data—not added by Exodus.
