Ethereum: Beginner Question About Exodus Wallet

As a beginner in the world of cryptocurrencies, you have just installed Exodus Wallet, a popular decentralized exchange (DEX) wallet. Congratulations on your first step in managing your Ethereum and Bitcoin assets! However, you are having some problems receiving funds from your Bitcoin wallet. In this article, we will explore why Exodus Wallet did not ask for an address when auto-generating and what happens when you click “Receive” in your Bitcoin wallet.

Why was I not asked for an address?

When you install Exodus Wallet, the software automatically generates a new Ethereum address. This is a standard feature of many wallets, including Exodus. The reason you did not see this address before is because it is usually stored on another device or platform, such as your computer or mobile phone.

To access your Bitcoin wallet and receive funds from other wallets, Exodus Wallet needs to know the address associated with the Ethereum account linked to your wallet. However, if this address was not automatically generated when you installed the wallet, you may not see it until later.

Two different addresses in your Bitcoin wallet

When you click “Receive” in your Bitcoin wallet, you will usually see two different addresses. These addresses are:

The primary Bitcoin address: This is the default address for receiving Bitcoins and sending funds to other wallets.

The Ethereum address associated with your Exodus wallet

: This is the address that was automatically generated when you installed Exodus Wallet.

Troubleshooting steps

To fix the problem, try the following:

2. Confirm your primary Bitcoin address

If you see two different addresses when you click “Receive,” try confirming your primary Bitcoin address. Go to
Settings >
Wallets and select the wallet linked to your primary Bitcoin address. If that address is correct, the problem is probably elsewhere.

3. Reset Exodus Wallet settings

Sometimes resetting Exodus Wallet settings can solve such problems. To do so, follow these steps:
