How to view NFTs on Exodus

Understanding NFTs and Exodus Wallet

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are unique digital assets that represent ownership of a specific item or content on the blockchain. Exodus Wallet is a popular multi-asset wallet that supports various cryptocurrencies and, with recent updates, also allows users to view and manage NFTs. It is important to note that Exodus currently supports NFT viewing on specific blockchains, primarily Ethereum (ETH) and Polygon (MATIC).

To view NFTs in Exodus, users must ensure that their wallet is compatible with the network on which the NFTs are minted. Exodus does not support all NFT blockchains at the moment, so it is crucial to check compatibility before attempting to view NFTs directly in the wallet.

Setting Up Your Exodus Wallet for NFT Viewing

Before you can view NFTs in Exodus, you must ensure that your wallet is properly set up with the correct blockchain network. Here’s how to do it:

• Open your Exodus Wallet and navigate to the Assets section.
• Ensure that you have added the Ethereum (ETH) or Polygon (MATIC) network to your wallet. If not, you can add them manually by clicking on Add Network and selecting the respective blockchain.
• Once the network is added, make sure you have some ETH or MATIC in the wallet to cover gas fees, even though you're only viewing NFTs.

Exodus automatically detects NFTs associated with your wallet address on supported networks. However, if no NFTs appear immediately, you may need to refresh the wallet or wait for the balance to sync.

Viewing NFTs in Exodus Wallet

After setting up the correct network, you can now proceed to view your NFTs:

• Navigate to the Assets tab and look for the NFT section.
• If you own NFTs on Ethereum or Polygon, they should appear here. Each NFT will display its name, image, and collection name.
• Click on an individual NFT to view more details such as its description, attributes, and blockchain explorer link.

If you do not see your NFTs, it could be due to syncing delays or unsupported collections. Exodus may not display all types of NFTs, especially those with complex metadata or from newer marketplaces.

Connecting to External NFT Marketplaces

While Exodus allows basic NFT viewing, more advanced interactions like buying, selling, or transferring NFTs are not supported directly within the wallet. For such actions, you can connect your Exodus wallet to external NFT marketplaces:

• Open a supported NFT marketplace like OpenSea, Rarible, or LooksRare in your browser.
• Click on Connect Wallet and choose Exodus from the list of available wallets.
• Confirm the connection in your Exodus Wallet app.
• Once connected, you can view, buy, sell, or transfer NFTs using your Exodus wallet as the signing tool.

This method allows you to manage your NFTs more actively while still using Exodus as your primary wallet.

Ensuring Security When Viewing NFTs

Security is a major concern when dealing with NFTs and blockchain assets. Here are some tips to ensure safe NFT viewing and management:

• Always verify the authenticity of NFTs before interacting with them, especially on third-party marketplaces.
• Never share your wallet seed phrase or private keys with anyone.
• Use trusted NFT marketplaces and avoid clicking on suspicious links or fake NFTs.
• Keep your Exodus app updated to the latest version to benefit from security patches and feature improvements.

Exodus does not store your private keys on its servers, which enhances security. However, users are still responsible for keeping their devices and recovery phrases safe.
