How to find your wallet address in Exodus for any crypto?

Finding Your Wallet Address in Exodus

1. Launch the Exodus desktop or mobile application and ensure you are logged into your wallet using your password or biometric authentication.

2. Navigate to the asset list on the main dashboard — this displays all cryptocurrencies supported by your wallet, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ERC-20 tokens.

3. Click or tap on the specific cryptocurrency for which you need the receiving address — for example, select Ethereum if you want an ETH address.

4. Once inside the asset view, locate and click the Receive button — it appears as a large icon with an arrow pointing inward or as labeled text depending on the interface version.

5. A modal window will appear showing your unique wallet address for that coin — it is typically a long alphanumeric string, sometimes accompanied by a QR code.

Understanding Address Formats Across Chains

1. Bitcoin addresses in Exodus may appear in legacy (starting with “1”), SegWit (starting with “3”), or native SegWit (starting with “bc1”) formats — all are valid and automatically selected based on network efficiency.

2. Ethereum and most ERC-20 tokens share the same address format — a 42-character hexadecimal string beginning with “0x” — Exodus uses one unified address across all EVM-compatible assets.

3. Solana addresses consist of 32-byte base58-encoded strings — they look entirely different from Ethereum or Bitcoin addresses and are not interchangeable.

4. Cardano addresses follow a Bech32 format and begin with “addr1” — Exodus generates these separately and does not reuse Ethereum keys for Cardano.

5. Ripple (XRP) addresses start with “r” and are 25–34 characters long — they require a destination tag for certain exchanges, and Exodus displays this field separately when needed.

QR Code Usage and Verification

1. The QR code shown next to your address is a machine-readable representation — scanning it with another wallet or exchange interface populates the recipient field instantly.

2. Always verify the first and last five characters of the address manually before confirming a transaction — visual inspection prevents losses from malicious QR code swaps.

3. Exodus does not allow copying of truncated addresses — the full string is always accessible via the copy icon adjacent to the address display.

4. On mobile devices, tapping the QR code toggles between static display and animated scanning mode — useful when receiving from hardware wallets or peer-to-peer setups.

5. Some exchanges request memo or tag fields alongside the address — Exodus surfaces these only for networks that mandate them, like Stellar or XRP.

Address Reuse and Security Implications

1. Exodus generates new change addresses internally for every outgoing transaction — users do not control or see these unless exporting full wallet data.

2. The primary receiving address remains constant per asset — reusing it does not compromise private keys but reduces privacy due to on-chain traceability.

3. Exodus does not implement address rotation for incoming payments — users must manually generate new addresses via third-party tools if enhanced anonymity is required.

4. Hardware wallet integrations like Ledger or Trezor retain full control over address derivation — Exodus acts only as a UI frontend in those cases.

5. Never share your private key or recovery phrase while attempting to locate an address — Exodus never asks for either during normal address lookup operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I have multiple Bitcoin addresses in Exodus?A: Exodus assigns one default receiving address per blockchain. It does not support HD address generation for manual rotation within the UI, though internal change addresses are used automatically.

Q: Why does my Ethereum address work for USDT but not for MATIC?A: USDT on Ethereum uses the ERC-20 standard and shares the ETH address. MATIC on Polygon requires a separate address derived under the Polygon network — Exodus treats Polygon as a distinct chain with its own address space.

Q: Does Exodus support BSC or Arbitrum addresses?A: Yes — Exodus supports Binance Smart Chain and Arbitrum One as independent networks. Each has its own dedicated address, even if derived from the same seed phrase.

Q: What happens if I send BTC to my Exodus ETH address?A: The funds will be irretrievably lost. Bitcoin and Ethereum operate on separate ledgers — sending cross-chain assets to incompatible addresses results in permanent loss, as Exodus cannot recover or redirect them.
