How Exodus scores

Safety score

61/100

Good

Write the recovery phrase on paper or metal, never in a photo or cloud note. Install wallets only from the maker’s own site or the official app store.

How the score works

Code transparency15/25

Some of the code is public, but not all of it is open source.

Independent audits0/20

No independent audit of the wallet itself has been published.

Key storage12/20

Keys are kept encrypted on your phone or computer, so malware on that device is the main risk.

Incident record24/25

1 incident on record, 0 in the last three years. Recent incidents and losses weigh more.

Company10/10

Run by Exodus Movement, Inc., a named company in United States.
