Hot wallet
Coinbase Wallet vs Exodus
Same kind of product, two profiles. Affiliate status is not how this page is ordered.
Coinbase Wallet
Coinbase Wallet is a self-custody product, separate from the custodial Coinbase exchange account. Keeping the names straight matters: coins in the exchange are held by Coinbase, and coins in Coinbase Wallet are controlled by the recovery phrase on your device. Swap fees were not verified.
Exodus
Exodus is a hot wallet: the keys are meant to live on your device, not at an exchange. Swap fees and the exact asset list were not re-verified from Exodus's fee page on this date, so those figures are left blank rather than guessed.
