How to sign a message in Exodus
How to sign a verification message in Exodus where supported — proving wallet ownership without moving funds — and what to do when it isn't available.
Message signing in Exodus depends on the asset, and isn't available for every coin. Where it's supported, it proves you control an address without moving funds.
How it works (where supported)
- Start the signing request from the verification flow and connect Exodus.
- Review the message presented for signing.
- Read it and confirm it's a verification you initiated.
- Approve to produce the signature, or reject if anything looks wrong.
If signing isn't available
For assets where Exodus doesn't expose message signing, use the test-transfer method instead — send a tiny amount from the funded wallet to prove control. It achieves the same verified result.
Safety
- Only sign requests from a flow you started and trust.
- A verification message should be readable; be cautious of opaque data.
- Signing never moves funds; a transaction does.
