Hot wallet
Exodus vs Phantom
Same kind of product, two profiles. Affiliate status is not how this page is ordered.
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.
Phantom
Phantom is a hot wallet best known on Solana, with support it has extended to other networks. Fees for in-app swaps were not verified, so this profile does not quote one.
