They require video verification. A statement of payment documents. My passport and account information.
But I don't need them! I don't need that kind of exchange. I just asked them to return my ETH and cancel the exchange.

Well, obviously you need if you want to get your money back. At least you learned your lesson with not crazy high amount of money.

Any wallet which is a close source wallet may not be completely safe for us, even if they are non custodial, it has to be an open source wallet

Even open source wallet can be risky to use, if not properly checked by those with sufficient knowledge on the matter to check the code. For example, I (and many many more) don't posses such knowldege and have to trust that others checked it thoroughly and that its safe to use.

By the way, not saying that people shouldn't prefer open source wallets over closed source ones, but you have to be careful either way.

They said they will not return anything and will keep my money.
Exodus support will not help you in any way. They started to ignore the problem.

This is a very dangerous wallet. If you have a chance give it up

exodus is fine as a wallet for small amounts (although i'd not recommend it), the only dangerous thing about it is the swap feature since they use shity third part exchngaes (because they pay them the most) that are know for scamming.
if you had done a bit or reaserch, you would have known not to use their swap feature, i guess you had to learn this the hard way, sorry for your loss @Fedyanov

You said they are close source, how can we know that they are not having their users seed phrases?

We don't know, but this is not the issue in this case, and nobody that I know reported stolen seed phrases by using Exodus wallet.
There is a chance OP would get the same issue even without exodus wallet, if same partner exchange was used.
Closed source should be avoided for different reasons.

Many centralized exchanges can ask the same thing when you use them directly.
Only eXch is never asking for anything like that from their customers, or you can use decentralized exchanges instead.

They refuse to refund the money. They impose conditions impossible to verify.
Be careful, this is a scam project from Exodus
Your money can be stolen in any exchange. They also have access to your secret phrases.

Any wallet which is a close source wallet may not be completely safe for us, even if they are non custodial, it has to be an open source wallet, in this regard, exodus is best described as a newbies category kind of wallet, they can make its use and also afford to only deposit little amount of money on them, but if you're complaining on the difficulty in the requirements they are making demand's for under verification, then this has much to do with kyc and the likes, which will still bring us back the where i started from, why making use of a close source wallet.

Exodus is a close source wallet, no one can know if they have access to people's private keys or not. That is why it is good to use an open source wallet which are trustworthy to people.

I am not defending exodus wallet as a closed source wallet, but they are not holding any coins themselves, and they are not a scam.

This is true but they have the third parties because of their profit. You said they are close source, how can we know that they are not having their users seed phrases?

Exodus is using multiple third party exchanges as partners and they are known for randomly freezing coins of their customers.

Next time you better read terms of use:
