How Exodus Scales Secure Wallet Experiences with NOWNodes’ Infrastructure

In the fast-paced world of crypto, keeping up with new blockchain networks while making sure users have a smooth and secure experience is no small feat. Exodus, one of the leading self-custody wallets, has found a smart solution: a partnership with NOWNodes, a provider of blockchain node infrastructure that helps them stay ahead without overloading their team.

Making Web3 Simple for Everyone

Exodus was founded in 2015 by JP Richardson and Daniel Castagnoli with a simple idea: “everyone should be able to control their digital assets simply and securely.” They realized that Web3 can feel complex and intimidating, and they wanted to change that. The result? A wallet that’s easy enough for beginners but still powerful enough for pros.

As the Exodus team puts it:

“We make self-custody effortless. No geek requirement is needed to send, stake or swap in the app. Our customer support team is legendary, providing real human contact to help solve any issues around the clock.”

Why NOWNodes?

Supporting dozens of blockchains is no joke. Exodus had two choices: build all the infrastructure in-house or partner with a specialist. They chose the smart route. By teaming up with NOWNodes, they could focus on what they do best—building secure, high-performance wallet experiences—while NOWNodes handled the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

“Rather than dedicating engineering time to spinning up nodes for every new chain we evaluate, we can quickly test and validate new integrations through NOWNodes’ existing infrastructure,” – the team explains.

Experimenting and Expanding Without the Headache

One of the biggest perks of the partnership is speed. The crypto world moves fast, with new chains and Layer 2 solutions appearing constantly. NOWNodes’ lightweight, shared-node architecture allows Exodus to experiment and expand quickly—without committing huge resources upfront.

“When a new chain gains traction, we can quickly evaluate and potentially integrate it without spinning up our own infrastructure first,” – says the team.

This approach frees up engineers to focus on features users actually want, instead of wrestling with dozens of blockchain nodes.

Keeping Security and Reliability at the Core

Of course, speed and convenience don’t mean anything if the wallet isn’t reliable. Exodus places user trust at the center of everything. NOWNodes supports this by providing access to a wide range of networks, including some less common chains like Injective and Zilliqa.

“Our users need confidence that when they open their wallet, their balance will be accurate, and when they send a transaction, the funds will arrive quickly and safely. NOWNodes, as a backend RPC provider, helps us deliver on these commitments to our users.”

The Results Speak for Themselves

The partnership has brought clear benefits:

  • Faster chain integration: New networks can be tested and added more quickly.
  • Better resource management: Engineers can focus on product features and UX, not node maintenance.
  • More agility: Exodus can try new blockchain networks without a huge upfront investment.
“NOWNodes has given us the freedom to experiment with new blockchain networks without the significant upfront investment usually required… The money and engineering hours that might have been spent nursing notoriously naughty nodes can now be spent designing the next user-requested feature.”

Looking Ahead

As Exodus continues to grow and empower users to take control of their digital assets, partnerships like the one with NOWNodes will remain key. Together, they strike a perfect balance: Exodus focuses on the user experience, and NOWNodes ensures the infrastructure can keep up.

The takeaway? In crypto, collaboration is power. By leaning on specialized partners, wallets like Exodus can scale securely, innovate faster, and give users a seamless, reliable experience—no compromise necessary.
