  The Exodus wallet handles Bitcoin forks by implementing a feature called 'Fork Monitor'. This feature constantly monitors the Bitcoin blockchain for any potential forks. If a fork occurs, the wallet automatically detects it and displays a notification to the user. The user can then choose whether to claim the forked coins or not. This ensures that the user's Bitcoin remains safe during a fork, and they have the option to claim any additional coins resulting from the fork.
