How this score was built

Each indicator scores 2, 1 or 0. A pillar is the points earned over the points available; the overall score is the weighted sum. Every source below is public — check any of them yourself.

A polished multi-chain wallet from a NYSE-listed publisher, with closed-source components and in-app swap spreads commonly reported between 2% and 5%.

Our assessment

Exodus is the most polished wallet in this comparison and the least verifiable. Exodus Movement, Inc. trades on NYSE American under EXOD and files audited financials with the SEC — an unusually accountable publisher — while significant parts of the application remain closed source.

A listed company behind a closed wallet

Public listing answers questions no other wallet publisher here can: who owns it, what it earns, whether it is solvent. Q1 2026 revenue was $22.7m, down 37% year on year, and the company acquired Monavate and Baanx in May 2026 to move into payments and cards. That is far more disclosure about the business than the code.

How it makes money, and why that matters

Revenue comes substantially from the in-app exchange, where spreads are commonly reported between 2% and 5%. That is not a fee line you see; it is priced into the rate. On a $5,000 swap the difference against a competitive route is well over $100, and it recurs on every transaction — the single most important thing for a prospective user to know.

Why the score is the lowest here

No public source repository, no publisher-owned repository organisation, no legal terms at a conventional address, and thirteen further indicators returning automated-access blocks. In a category where openness carries 60% of the weight across two pillars, a closed wallet cannot score well however good the product is.

Who it suits

Exodus fits users who want a beautiful multi-chain wallet with desktop and mobile parity, know they are paying for swaps, and are reassured by a listed publisher. Anyone who wants auditable code or cheap swaps should use MetaMask, Trust Wallet or Rabby with an aggregator.

Frequently asked

Does this score mean Exodus is safe?

No. It measures what a user can verify before installing: published source, documented security posture, open documentation and an identifiable publisher. Runtime key handling is not tested by us.

Why does open source matter for a wallet?

It is the one substantive property an outsider can check without reverse-engineering the app. Everything else requires trusting the publisher or a third-party audit.

What would raise this score?

Publishing source, a dedicated security page, open documentation and terms at stable public addresses — all checkable by anyone.
