Exodus Wallet displays an "Unsafe connection" warning when it detects potential security risks with a dApp. This warning prevents users from interacting with your application through their Exodus wallet.
Exodus prioritizes user security and employs various detection methods to identify potentially harmful sites. Understanding why your site was flagged is the first step to resolution.
Exodus is particularly strict about HTTPS implementation and certificate validity
Suspicious third-party scripts or trackers can trigger warnings
New domains or those with poor reputation scores are flagged
Similarity to known phishing sites in global databases
Multiple user complaints can trigger automatic blocking
Ensure your site has valid SSL certificates and follows security best practices
Submit a detailed appeal through Exodus support channels
Include business documentation and proof of legitimate operation
Track your appeal status and respond promptly to any requests
Exodus typically responds to security appeals within 48-72 hours, though complex cases may take longer.
Exodus maintains its own security system but also references common phishing databases that other wallets use.
Not necessarily. Most wallet warnings are false positives caused by overly aggressive automated detection systems. However, it's always good practice to run a security audit to ensure your site hasn't been compromised.
Studies show that security warnings reduce conversion rates by 85-95%. For a typical DeFi project, this can mean thousands of dollars in lost revenue per day. The sooner you resolve the warning, the less impact on your business.
This is not recommended. Users have been trained to trust wallet security warnings, and asking them to bypass these protections will damage your credibility and could be seen as a red flag itself.
