What Phantom is

Phantom is a free-to-download, self-custodial multichain wallet for buying, selling, trading, sending, and receiving crypto. It runs on iOS and Android, with Chrome, Brave, and Edge browser extensions. Users can search tokens by name or contract address, view trends, and trade in the app. Crosschain Swapper bridges tokens across Solana, Ethereum, Base, Sui, and other chains. Phantom also offers perpetual futures on mobile and web, with more than 200 markets and up to 40× leverage, plus Phantom Terminal, a web desktop platform for tracking price movements, trends, and positions. Phantom Cash adds receiving funds, transfers, token trading, and spending through a virtual debit card. Card payments work where Visa, Apple Pay, or Google Pay are accepted, although Cash is launching first in the United States except New York. Phantom says users control their funds and private keys. Security listings include scam detection, a phishing blocklist, spam NFT burning, and Ledger support. Most swaps have a 0.85% Phantom fee, with network and price-impact fees potentially added.
