Install Exodus

Download and install Exodus from its official site. Set up a new wallet or import an existing seed phrase, and back up your recovery phrase securely.

Fund the wallet with ETH

Buy ETH on an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) and withdraw to your Exodus address. Double-check the network before sending.
