What is exodus-fake-balance?

This Python tool is designed to alter what the Exodus cryptocurrency desktop wallet displays on screen. It targets the Exodus application running on Windows or macOS and replaces the balance figures shown in the wallet interface with custom numbers you provide. The changes appear across the wallet's portfolio view, exchange tab, and send and receive screens, and they persist through screenshots and screen recordings. The tool works by intercepting the communication channel between the Exodus app's internal processes, patching how the wallet stores and reads balance data from its local cache, and modifying values in memory while the app is running. No data on the actual blockchain is changed, and the tool does not touch your private keys or make any network requests to exchanges or blockchain nodes. The balances visible on the screen are altered, but the actual wallet contents on the blockchain remain unchanged. Configuration is done through a JSON file where you specify which cryptocurrency ticker (such as BTC or ETH) should show which amount. You can set whether the fake balances persist after restarting the wallet, whether live price feeds should be used to convert amounts into accurate dollar or euro totals, and whether the original balances should be restored automatically when you close the tool. The interface is a text menu in a terminal window with numbered options for installing dependencies, configuring target balances, applying the overlay to a running Exodus process, checking the current status, and restoring the original display. The README describes the tool as being for display purposes and notes that it does not modify any real blockchain data.
