Warning
This guide assumes;
- THAT YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO REGISTER YOUR EOS TOKENS BEFORE THE MAINNET LAUNCHES i.e. JUNE 1 2018
- That you’ll first read through the entire post before attempting to send coins to your Exodus wallet and/or registering your EOS tokens
- That you’re using your personal PC or one that only you can access to ensure that your wallet’s access is limited to only you.
- You understand how altcoin wallets work in that you need to store your keys (private key) securely, preferably "off the INTERNET".
Exodus is an altcoin wallet that also allows you to shapeshift (convert from one altcoin to another) tokens. You can get the latest version by going to their website www.exodus.io and clicking download.
First things first
AccordIng to this guide on their website, you’ll need about 0.005 ETH to register. This should be held in your Exodus wallet.
Once you download and install exodus you may need to add EOS to your Portfolio. Do this by clicking Settings, clicking Assets and then selecting the coins you would like to add to your portfolio. For this tutorial, we will focus on adding EOS. Scroll through till you find it in the assets page and click on the rounded button to add it to your portfolio.
Once that is done, you’ll see it shown alongside any other coins added to your portfolio as shown below.
Now to send some ETH to your wallet. You can check your Ethereum(ETH) receiving address by clicking on Ethereum in your portfolio. The Ethereum “wallet” will be loaded showing your current balance and two buttons – send and receive. Click Receive to view your address.
Now that you have ETH in your wallet, its time to send your EOS. Use the same process to get your EOS address so that you can deposit EOS to your wallet.
If you check your EOS wallet, you’ll notice a warning telling you that your address has not been registered. This should not alarm you.
To register your EOS address go to Help and scroll through till you see the “How do I register my EOS” help topic.

From here simply click the “Register my EOS address now” button and confirm the transaction.
That’s it. You’ve now registered your EOS. :-)
