How to Send ETH with Exodus Wallet? How to Transfer Ethereum to Another Wallet?

Accessing the Send Function

1. Launch the Exodus desktop or mobile application and unlock your wallet using your password or biometric authentication.

2. Navigate to the left-hand sidebar and click on the Wallet tab to view your asset balances.

3. Locate Ethereum (ETH) in your portfolio list and click on it to open the asset-specific interface.

4. In the center of the screen, locate and click the Send button — this initiates the transaction flow.

Entering Recipient Details

1. In the Send to Address field, paste the recipient’s Ethereum address manually or use the QR code scanner icon to capture their wallet QR code.

2. Ensure the address starts with 0x and contains exactly 42 hexadecimal characters — any deviation indicates an invalid or potentially malicious address.

3. Exodus does not validate external smart contract wallets by default; users must independently verify if the destination supports ETH transfers and is not a token-only contract.

4. Avoid reusing addresses from untrusted sources — even one mistyped character may irreversibly send funds to an inaccessible location.

Setting Transaction Parameters

1. Enter the exact amount of ETH you wish to transfer in the amount field — decimals are supported up to 18 places.

2. Exodus automatically selects a network fee based on current Ethereum mainnet congestion; this value appears under Network Fee and updates dynamically.

3. Click the gear icon next to the fee field to access advanced options: users can choose between Slow, Normal, or Fast confirmation speeds — each reflects real-time gas price estimates.

4. The final transaction preview displays total outflow: transferred ETH plus network fee — both values appear in bold green font before submission.

Confirming and Broadcasting

1. Review all details carefully: recipient address, amount, fee, and estimated confirmation time shown in minutes.

2. Click Continue to proceed to the final signature screen — no further edits are possible after this point.

3. Confirm the action using your wallet password or device biometrics — Exodus signs the transaction locally using your private key stored only on your device.

4. Once signed, the transaction is broadcast to the Ethereum network; a success notification appears along with the transaction hash (TXID), which begins with 0x and links directly to Etherscan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I send ETH to a Binance or Coinbase deposit address?Yes — provided the exchange explicitly lists that address as valid for ETH deposits. Never send to a BTC, SOL, or USDT-specific deposit address, even if it starts with 0x.

Q2: Why does my transaction show “Pending” for over 30 minutes?This usually occurs when the selected network fee is too low for current block inclusion. Check Etherscan using your TXID to see its position in the mempool.

Q3: Does Exodus support sending ETH to Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum or Optimism?No — Exodus only broadcasts transactions to Ethereum mainnet by default. Transferring to L2 requires bridging via external tools before importing assets into Exodus.

Q4: What happens if I send ETH to an ERC-20 token contract address?Funds become permanently inaccessible unless the contract includes a withdrawal function — most do not. Exodus cannot reverse or recover such transactions.
