You can connect your Exodus wallet to Koinly by exporting your transaction history as a CSV file or by adding your public blockchain addresses. This helps you track profits, losses, and income for crypto taxes.
Exodus is a popular software wallet known for its clean design and multi-asset support. Millions of crypto investors use it to store, send, and receive digital assets. But like many wallets, Exodus does not calculate taxes. If you trade, stake, or swap crypto inside Exodus, you still need to report your activity to the tax office in your country. That is where Koinly comes in.
Koinly is a crypto tax software that collects your transactions, converts them into your local currency, and prepares tax reports. By connecting Exodus to Koinly, you can save hours of manual work and avoid mistakes in your tax filing.
If you haven’t set up Koinly yet, here’s a quick guide on how to create an account on Koinly in 7 simple steps.
Why Connect Exodus Wallet to Koinly?
Exodus is user-friendly but it was not built for tax tracking. Every time you sell, swap, or spend crypto inside Exodus, you may create a taxable event.
For example, imagine you bought Solana (SOL) for $1,000 inside your Exodus wallet. A few months later, you swapped it for Ethereum worth $1,400. That $400 difference is considered a capital gain, and it needs to be reported to the IRS in the US or HMRC in the UK, depending on where you live.
If you make dozens or hundreds of trades, calculating gains manually becomes impossible. Tax authorities require you to report:
- The date of each transaction
- The amount of crypto involved
- The value in your local currency (USD, GBP, AUD, etc.)
Koinly automates this process. Once connected to Exodus, it imports your data, applies tax rules, and generates compliant reports.
How to Connect Exodus Wallet to Koinly?
There are two main ways to connect Exodus to Koinly:
1. Export and Upload a CSV File
This is the most common method for Exodus.
Steps:
- Open your Exodus wallet on your computer.
- Go to the transaction history section.
- Export your full history as a CSV file.
- Log in to Koinly > Wallets > Add Wallet > Exodus.
- Upload the CSV file.
Once uploaded, Koinly will read all your past transactions. If you want updated reports in the future, you will need to export and upload again.

2. Add Blockchain Addresses
For some coins, Exodus allows you to use your public blockchain addresses. You can copy these addresses and paste them into Koinly.
Steps:
- Open Exodus and copy your public receiving address for each blockchain (for example, your Bitcoin or Ethereum address).
- Go to Koinly and select Add Wallet > Exodus.
- Paste the public address.
- Koinly will sync transactions directly from the blockchain.
This works well for popular blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. But for tokens or swaps done inside Exodus, the CSV file may still be necessary.
Which Method Should You Use?
- CSV Export: Best if you want a complete record including all Exodus swaps.
- Public Address: Best if you want ongoing tracking for coins like BTC or ETH, without needing to re-upload.
Many users combine both methods to ensure accuracy.

Example of a Client with Exodus Wallet…
Emma, based in the UK, uses Exodus to manage her crypto. She buys Bitcoin, swaps into Ethereum, and also holds some stablecoins. By law, she needs to report her capital gains to HMRC.
Emma exports her Exodus CSV file and uploads it to Koinly. Koinly then shows her:
- Total Bitcoin gains in GBP
- Ethereum profits and losses
- The exact dates and values for every swap
At the end of the tax year, she downloads a Capital Gains Summary report from Koinly and attaches it to her UK self-assessment tax return. Without Koinly, she would have needed to calculate exchange rates for every single swap manually.
