Phantom is a self-custodial multichain wallet available as a browser extension for Chrome, Brave and Edge, and as an iOS or Android app. It lets users create or import wallet accounts, send and receive assets, connect to compatible dApps, swap supported tokens, track public addresses and stake SOL.
Free base access: installing and using the software wallet does not require a subscription or a hardware purchase. Optional swaps, bridges, purchases and other services can charge separately. Sending funds can also require a blockchain network fee; a deposit does not remove the sender’s network or withdrawal costs.
Network scope, checked 20 October 2026: Phantom lists nine networks. The Hyperliquid badge here refers to HyperEVM wallet support, not a native HyperCore trading integration. Arc is also supported. See Phantom’s current network list for changes.
Is Phantom a fit for your use case?
- Useful for: managing supported networks in one browser or mobile interface, connecting to dApps, swapping assets, tracking wallets and managing compatible collectibles.
- Less suited for: users who need unsupported networks such as Arbitrum, Optimism or Avalanche, or who mainly manage Bitcoin Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens or rare sats.
- Account required: Phantom wallet setup is required. Signing in with Google or Apple is optional because a wallet can also be created with a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase.
- Separate wallet required: no. Phantom creates or imports the wallet accounts used in the app. Supported Ledger accounts can also be connected.
- Main limits: feature availability varies by network, platform and region. Security warnings reduce certain risks but do not validate every token, site or transaction.
Networks and feature coverage
Phantom’s supported-network list currently includes Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Robinhood Chain, Bitcoin, HyperEVM, Arc and BNB Chain. Sui support ended on September 24, 2026, and Monad support ended on August 26, 2026. Assets on those networks remain onchain but require a compatible wallet. Phantom’s current Robinhood Chain guide describes asset management, swaps and dApp connections; feature coverage still varies by network and app version.
Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens and rare sats are no longer displayed or protected during BTC sends. A standard BTC transfer can spend the satoshis associated with them.
Network and regional availability can change. Review Active Networks before receiving assets.
Costs and custody
Downloading Phantom and creating a wallet do not require a subscription. Most swaps include a 0.85% Phantom fee, with exceptions for some flows such as supported stablecoins swapped into Cash, a network fee and price impact. Cross-chain quotes can include fees on both networks and bridge-provider costs. Use swap settings to inspect the provider; bridge fees can be included within the displayed price-impact figure. The quote displayed before confirmation is the relevant cost reference. Key storage depends on the account type: local recovery-phrase accounts store keys on the device, new Google or Apple wallets use Phantom KMS secure enclaves, and supported hardware-wallet accounts sign transactions on the external device.
Native staking and PSOL
Creating a native stake is supported in the browser extension with at least 1 SOL. PSOL liquid staking is available on mobile and in the extension: rewards increase the SOL represented by each PSOL. Phantom documents a 4% fee on staking rewards and a 0.1% exit fee. If immediate reserve liquidity is insufficient, unstaking can return a native stake account that must be deactivated and withdrawn.
Perpetuals, prediction markets, tokenized assets and Cash features have their own eligibility and regional conditions. Review the requirements of the selected Phantom feature before using it.
