How to send an NFT from your Exodus wallet?

Preparing Your Exodus Wallet for NFT Transfer

1. Ensure your Exodus wallet is updated to the latest version to support full NFT functionality. Older versions may lack compatibility with current blockchain standards, leading to failed transactions or lost assets.

2. Confirm that the NFT you intend to send is fully visible and correctly displayed in your wallet’s collectibles section. Some NFTs might not appear immediately after purchase due to syncing delays or incorrect token standards.

3. Backup your wallet recovery phrase and store it securely offline. Losing access to your wallet during an NFT transfer could result in irreversible loss of digital assets.

4. Check the network associated with the NFT—most NFTs in Exodus are on Ethereum or Polygon. You’ll need sufficient gas fees in the native cryptocurrency (ETH or MATIC) to complete the transfer.

Initiating the NFT Transfer Process

1. Open the Exodus wallet application and navigate to the “Collectibles” tab where your NFTs are stored. Locate the specific NFT you wish to send by scrolling or using the search function.

2. Click on the NFT to open its detailed view. Here, you’ll see metadata such as name, image preview, contract address, and token ID. Review this information carefully to ensure accuracy.

3. Select the “Send” button located within the NFT’s interface. This will open a new window prompting you to enter the recipient’s wallet address.

4. Paste the recipient’s public wallet address into the designated field. Double-check each character, as any mistake can lead to permanent loss of the NFT.

Confirming and Finalizing the Transaction

1. After entering the recipient’s address, the wallet will calculate the required network fee based on current congestion and gas prices. Review the estimated cost in ETH or MATIC before proceeding.

2. Confirm all details: recipient address, NFT name, and transaction fee. Exodus will display a final confirmation screen summarizing the transfer data.

3. Click “Confirm” to sign the transaction using your wallet’s authentication method. This may require a password or biometric verification depending on your device settings.

4. Once confirmed, the transaction is broadcasted to the blockchain network. The NFT will show as “Pending” in your wallet until miners validate the block.

5. Monitor the transaction status via the built-in explorer link provided by Exodus. You can also paste the transaction ID into Etherscan or Polygonscan to track progress independently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send an NFT from Exodus to a non-custodial wallet like MetaMask?Yes, you can send an NFT from Exodus to any externally owned Ethereum or Polygon-compatible wallet, including MetaMask. Ensure the receiving wallet supports the same network and token standard (e.g., ERC-721 or ERC-1155).

What happens if I send an NFT to a wallet that doesn’t support its standard?The NFT remains on the blockchain but may not display correctly in the recipient’s wallet interface. It still exists and can be accessed through advanced tools like contract interactions or third-party explorers.

Why does my NFT transfer take so long to confirm?Transaction speed depends on network congestion and the gas fee paid. During peak times on Ethereum, confirmations may take hours unless higher fees are included. Polygon transfers generally finalize faster due to lower congestion.

Is there a way to cancel an NFT transfer after it’s been sent?No, once a transaction is signed and broadcasted to the blockchain, it cannot be canceled. If the transaction is stuck, you may replace it with a higher gas fee transaction under certain conditions, but only before confirmation.
