What is exodus-fake-balance?

This is a Python tool that modifies the display of the Exodus cryptocurrency wallet desktop app to show custom balance numbers instead of the real ones. You configure it with whatever amounts you want to appear, and it patches the wallet's internal processes so those numbers show up across all tabs, including the portfolio overview, the exchange screen, and the send or receive screens. The fake numbers persist across wallet restarts and appear the same way in screenshots. The tool works by hooking into the local software that runs the Exodus app, which is built on Electron (a framework for desktop apps using web technology). It intercepts the wallet's internal data layer at the process level, injecting custom values into the balance cache and intercepting messages that would otherwise refresh those values. No network traffic is changed, and no blockchain data or private keys are touched. The balances on the actual blockchain remain unaffected. To use it, you clone the repository, run a setup script that installs Python dependencies, and then open a terminal menu. From there you configure target balances in a JSON config file (for example, you can set BTC to 2.45 or USDT to 148,500), then apply the overlay. The tool auto-detects your Exodus installation. A restore option removes all hooks and returns the display to real balances. The README frames this as a display overlay for "demonstration" purposes, noting that it does not alter any real blockchain state. Whether displayed balances match real holdings is something an observer cannot verify from the wallet screen alone. The tool explicitly includes transaction history spoofing as a listed feature. The project is MIT-licensed and supports Windows and macOS. It lists over 200 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and various stablecoins.
