Phantom Wallet is a modern, user-friendly cryptocurrency wallet built primarily for Solana and compatible with a growing multichain Web3 ecosystem. This presentation covers what the phantom wallet does, why it’s trusted by millions, and how to get started safely.
The phantom wallet is a secure non-custodial wallet and browser extension/app that lets users manage Solana assets, NFTs, and connect to Web3 apps (dApps). It provides a polished UX for sending, swapping, staking, and interacting with on-chain programs while keeping private keys on the user’s device.
Phantom is available as a browser extension and mobile app. It integrates with many Solana dApps, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi protocols. You can install Phantom from the main download page or your platform’s store and connect it to apps that support the Solana Wallet Adapter.
Developers can use Phantom’s docs and the Solana Wallet Adapter to offer seamless connections for users. Phantom exposes standard wallet APIs for transaction signing and account management.
The phantom wallet is non-custodial: you hold your private keys. Security best practices are essential — Phantom provides seed phrases, optional passphrases, and hardware wallet compatibility.

Phantom supports hardware wallets and is expanding multichain compatibility. For hardware integration and advanced settings, review the developer docs and official blog posts for the latest announcements.
A seed phrase is a list of words that store all the information needed to recover your wallet. Keep it offline and never share it. If someone has your seed phrase, they control your funds.

Yes. Phantom offers integrations with common hardware wallets for added security with high-value holdings. Consult developer docs for setup instructions.
If you lose your seed phrase and did not back it up elsewhere, you cannot recover your wallet. Always backup your recovery phrase in multiple secure locations.
Phantom’s privacy policy covers what data may be processed. Review the policy at the official Privacy page. Generally, non-custodial wallets minimize personal data collection but may gather anonymized analytics.
