Russia

Russia: first check whether the provider serves Russian residents and accepts your payment method. A visible Buy button does not confirm eligibility. If buying is unavailable, the receiving instructions below cover crypto you already hold.

The region applies to purchases with traditional money. General wallet steps are below; country-specific purchase routes are still being prepared. The project’s assets, networks, and addresses are listed below the articles.

    Back up before adding funds

    The wallet-ready message does not confirm a saved backup. In settings, select your wallet and manual backup. Write the recovery phrase in the exact order and complete the app's check.

    Keep it offline and never share it. A passcode or Face ID does not replace this backup. The words themselves are intentionally not shown here.

    Or start a purchase with regular money

    Open Buy («Покупка») or Fund («Пополнить»). The screenshots also show Buy with Apple Pay. Choose an eligible payment option and enter your own amount; you do not need to use the example's 220 EUR.

    Choose the asset and check its network

    Tap the asset name on the purchase form. More crypto («Еще криптовалюта») opens the full list. USDT appears several times in the second image: the small badges identify different networks. Choose a network supported by the recipient.

    Review the terms before paying

    After choosing USDT, the form shows an estimated token amount. Before paying, check the network, total cost, fees, and provider. After Continue («Продолжить»), the purchase service may request account details and identity verification.

    Apple Pay appearing here does not establish eligibility in your country. This is an amount-entry screen, not proof of a successful payment.

    Send cryptocurrency

    Open the asset and tap Send («Отправить»). Paste the recipient's address, enter an amount, and check the asset, network, and fee. Token fees may require the network's main coin. Confirm only checked details, then wait for network confirmation.

EXODUS MOBILE

Exodus on your phone: step by step

For iPhone and Android. Button names are shown in English; their position may vary by app version. This guide covers the Exodus crypto wallet, rather than the separate Exodus Pay service.

Checked against official help articles · November 3, 2026

Download Exodus from the official website ↗
  1. 01

    Install the app

    Use the official website linked above to reach the App Store or Google Play. Install Exodus for your device; avoid installation files sent in unsolicited messages.

    Official instructions ↗
  2. 02

    Open a new wallet

    Follow the prompts on first launch. The crypto wallet itself needs no email sign-up. Open Crypto Wallet using the wallet or hexagon icon, depending on your settings.

    Do not choose restore when creating your first wallet: restoration is for regaining access to an existing one.

    Official instructions ↗
  3. 03

    Back up your wallet

    Open your profile → Settings → Backups → Secret Key (Advanced). Read the notices, write the 12 words on paper in order, and complete the app's check.

    Never photograph or share the words. Enable an available wallet lock. Your phone password does not replace a backup; the official help articles also explain passkey backups.

    Official instructions ↗
  4. 04

    Receive crypto by transfer

    Tap Receive, choose the asset and the correct network. Copy the displayed address or use its QR code. On the sending platform, choose the same asset and network and use that address.

    Wait for network confirmation. A matching asset name alone does not make every network compatible.

    Official instructions ↗
  5. 05

    Or buy cryptocurrency

    Tap Buy → choose the asset → enter an amount → choose a payment method and available provider → Continue. The payment provider processes the purchase: complete its identity check and review the final terms.

    Before paying, check the network, fees, and amount of crypto you will receive. Availability depends on your country; if no suitable offer appears, do not pay an unknown service from an unsolicited link.

    Official instructions ↗
  6. 06

    Allow for network fees

    Sending usually requires a network fee. Token fees use the network's main asset, such as ETH on Ethereum or SOL on Solana. If you have tokens but cannot send, check whether you have enough of the asset needed for the fee.

    Official instructions ↗
  7. 07

    Send a transfer

    Tap Send, select the asset and network, paste the recipient's address or scan its QR code, then Continue. Enter the amount and proceed to review.

    Check the full address, network, amount, and fee. Confirm only correct details; the current mobile app uses a final slide of the arrow. A completed transfer cannot be canceled.

    Official instructions ↗
  8. 08

    Check the result

    Open the transaction in your history and view its details in a block explorer. Check its confirmation status and recipient address. If funds are not visible yet, check the transaction status before sending again.
