* Install the app by following the on-screen instructions.

## **Set Up Your Wallet**:

* When you open Exodus for the first time, it will generate a **12-word secret recovery phrase** and private keys.

* Remember: “Not your keys, not your coins.” Your secret recovery phrase is your key to accessing your assets.

## **Explore the Dashboard**:

* The main dashboard displays the total value of your assets and a list of supported cryptocurrencies with their current market prices.

## **Connect to the Internet**:

* Exodus requires an **internet connection** to send and receive blockchain assets.
* Real-time updates on your portfolio value rely on market information.
* If you lose internet access, you can still view your portfolio, but pricing info might not be up-to-date.

## **Security Tips**:

* Keep your secret recovery phrase **secure and private**. Never share it with anyone.
* Exodus is a **self-custody wallet**, meaning only you control your keys and coins.
* Exodus doesn’t have access to your secret recovery phrase or private keys.

## **Start Using Your Wallet**:

* You can **buy crypto**, **receive crypto**, and explore features like **swapping assets** directly within Exodus.

Remember to back up your wallet and stay cautious online. Enjoy your journey into the world of crypto with Exodus!
