A user-first non-custodial wallet for Solana — fast, simple, and built for interacting with Web3, NFTs, and Solana dApps.
What is Phantom?
Phantom is a popular wallet primarily for the Solana blockchain that lets users manage SOL, SPL tokens, NFTs, and connect to decentralized applications directly in the browser or on mobile. It focuses on speed, ease-of-use, and deep integration with the Solana ecosystem.

Hardware wallet integration: Works with Ledger for enhanced private key security.
Quick Start — How to Use Phantom
Install: Add the Phantom extension to your browser or install the mobile app from official stores.
Create or restore: Create a new wallet and set a password, or restore using an existing seed phrase.
Backup your recovery phrase: Write down and securely store your seed phrase offline.
Connect to a dApp: When visiting a compatible dApp, choose Phantom to connect and authorize transactions.
Manage assets: Use Send/Receive to move tokens, or the Swap feature to trade from inside the wallet.
Tip: Only connect Phantom to trusted dApps and double-check transaction details before approving.
Security & Privacy
Phantom is non-custodial — your private keys and recovery phrase are stored locally. Phantom does not store private keys on its servers. Important security practices:
Never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone.
Use strong device security and a secure password for the extension/app.
Verify extension authenticity and install only from official browser stores or the official Phantom website.
Consider using a hardware wallet (e.g., Ledger) for larger holdings — Phantom supports ledger integration.
Common Questions (FAQ)
Is Phantom free?

Can I use Phantom with NFTs?
Yes — Phantom shows NFTs in a built-in gallery and supports sending and receiving NFTs on Solana.
What if I lose my device?
If you have your recovery seed phrase you can restore the wallet on another device. If not, funds cannot be recovered.
