How to send NFTs from Exodus

Understanding NFTs and Exodus Wallet Compatibility

Exodus Wallet is a popular multi-asset wallet that supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies and tokens, including NFTs. Before attempting to send an NFT from Exodus, it’s crucial to understand whether the specific NFT you own is compatible with the Exodus wallet. Not all NFTs are supported due to the blockchain they are minted on. Exodus currently supports Ethereum-based NFTs (ERC-721 and ERC-1155 tokens). If your NFT is built on another blockchain like Solana or Polygon, it may not appear in your Exodus wallet or be transferable through it.

To check if your NFT is supported, open the NFT section in your Exodus wallet and verify if the NFT is visible. If it's not, ensure that the wallet address you are using is the same one that received the NFT on the blockchain. You can cross-check this using a blockchain explorer like Etherscan for Ethereum-based NFTs.

Preparing Your Exodus Wallet for NFT Transfer

Before initiating an NFT transfer, ensure your Exodus wallet is updated to the latest version. Older versions may lack support for newer NFT standards or features. You can check for updates on the Exodus website or within the app itself.

Once updated, make sure you have enough ETH in your wallet to cover gas fees. Transferring NFTs on the Ethereum network requires gas, which is paid in ETH. If you don’t have sufficient ETH, the transaction will fail. You can buy ETH directly in Exodus or transfer it from another wallet.

It's also important to back up your wallet before performing any NFT transaction. Exodus provides a 12-word recovery phrase during setup, which should be stored securely. This ensures you can recover your wallet and NFTs in case of device loss or app malfunction.

Locating and Selecting the NFT You Want to Send

Launch the Exodus desktop or mobile app and navigate to the NFT tab. Here, all supported NFTs in your wallet will be displayed. Browse through your collection or use the search function to locate the specific NFT you wish to send.

Click or tap on the NFT to open its details. You’ll see information like the contract address, token ID, and blockchain network. Confirm that this is the correct NFT you intend to send. Exodus allows you to view the NFT in a browser by clicking the 'View on Etherscan' option, which can help verify ownership and authenticity.

Once confirmed, click the “Send” button associated with that NFT. This will open the sending interface where you’ll input the recipient’s wallet address and confirm the transaction details.

Entering the Recipient’s Wallet Address

In the send interface, you’ll be prompted to enter the recipient’s wallet address. This is a critical step, as sending an NFT to the wrong address cannot be undone. Ensure the address is correct and corresponds to the same blockchain the NFT is built on — Ethereum in this case.

Exodus allows you to either manually type the address or paste it from your clipboard. It’s also possible to scan a QR code if the recipient provides one. Always double-check the address for any typos or extra characters.

Some wallets or platforms may require additional information such as a memo or tag, but Ethereum-based NFTs typically do not. If the recipient platform asks for such data, ensure you follow their specific instructions to avoid transaction failure.

Reviewing and Confirming the NFT Transfer

Before finalizing the transaction, Exodus will display a summary of the transfer. This includes the NFT name, recipient address, and the gas fee in ETH. Review this information carefully to ensure everything is accurate.

If everything looks correct, click “Confirm” to proceed. The transaction will be broadcasted to the Ethereum network, and you’ll need to wait for it to be confirmed by miners. This usually takes a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on network congestion.

You can track the transaction status using the Etherscan link provided in the transaction details. Once confirmed, the NFT will no longer appear in your Exodus wallet and will be visible in the recipient’s wallet.
