That server is hosted by Exodus, or a third party?

Since Exodus is closed source (at least partially) we can't say for sure. However, you can figure this out by inspecting traffic using a firewall.

<p>I recently installed Exodus and as soon as I configured my wallet it was ready to go. It did not appear to need to download gigabytes-large blockchain for any of the currencies I transferred into it. Other wallet apps—such as Bitcoin Core and similar—must download the blockchain for hours before presenting me with an accurate balance.</p>

<p>Where or how is the blockchain stored for wallets such as Exodus?</p>

Where do wallets such as Exodus store the blockchain?
