What are multiple addresses?
Your Exodus wallet will always use the same address to receive crypto by default.
In Mobile, you can only enable multiple addresses for Bitcoin. In Exodus Desktop, you can enable multiple addresses for Bitcoin, Litecoin, and other supported UTXO-based assets.
When you enable multiple addresses, your wallet automatically generates a new address for an asset after it receives funds.
Because a new address is generated after every transaction, if you share one address with someone, they can only see the balance and transactions tied to that address. They would need all your addresses or your xpub to see your entire transaction history and balance.
This reduces the risk of exposing your current balance and transaction history, making it a useful feature to enhance your privacy.
Which assets support multiple addresses?
In Mobile, only Bitcoin (BTC) supports multiple addresses.
In Exodus Desktop, you can enable multiple addresses for the following UTXO-based assets:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
