Hi, so I have an account on coinbase as well as an exodus wallet. So I know the basics about how bitcoin works and how to buy and store it.
However, I notice that if I try to send bitcoin from my exodus wallet to a bitcoin address that it shows a fee I do not think is reasonable at all.
Exodus often shows much higher default fees but there is a way to reduce it and set manual custom fees for Exodus wallet when you are sending Bitcoin transactions.
First you need to open your Exodus Bitcoin wallet page and click on 3 dots on top right angle.
Then you should choose
Advanced Options from menu:
Then click the bottom slider to
Enable Custom Fees Then you can go back to your Bitcoin wallet and click Send button to send your Bitcoin.
You will see new window with slider you move left or right and you can even write manually bellow 10 sat/byte (I don't recommend this if you don't know what you are doing)
Make sure you check mempool.space and other websites that are showing number of stuck and incoming bitcoin transactions, and enter your fee accordingly in Exodus.
You should also enable bc1 bech32 address format in Exodus to reduce fees even more (click on Receive button and then right arrow next to QR code)
Now you can click
Send button and you are done.
Note that Exodus is closed source software and I would always recommend using other OpenSource wallets alternative like Electrum wallet
