View company profile

Phantom is dedicated to making the world of cryptocurrency and Web3 accessible and user-friendly for everyone. Many potential users find the crypto space intimidating due to complex interfaces, security concerns, and the general learning curve associated with new technology. Phantom addresses these challenges directly by providing a thoughtfully designed, intuitive multichain wallet that simplifies the process of interacting with decentralized applications (dApps), managing digital assets, and exploring the vast potential of Web3. Our customers, ranging from crypto novices to seasoned traders and collectors, seek a secure, reliable, and easy-to-navigate platform to store, buy, send, receive, swap tokens, and manage their NFT collections. Phantom empowers them by removing unnecessary friction and making crypto interactions an enjoyable experience.

The journey began in January 2021 when a team of engineers, designers, and former founders united with the ambition to demystify crypto. Understanding that widespread adoption hinges on ease of use and robust security, Phantom was built from the ground up with a customer-centric approach. Users often struggle with managing multiple wallets for different blockchains; Phantom solves this by offering a single, unified wallet experience across major chains like Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polygon, Base, and Sui. This eliminates the confusion of switching networks and provides a seamless way to access the largest NFT marketplaces, showcase collections, and monitor all activity through clear transaction histories and notifications. Security is paramount, which is why Phantom is a self-custodial wallet, meaning users always retain full control of their funds. Features like scam detection, which flags malicious transactions instantly, and Ledger hardware wallet integration offer enhanced peace of mind. By focusing on a superior user experience, providing powerful yet simple tools for NFT management (pinning, hiding, burning, listing), enabling fast and low-fee token swaps, and offering avenues for staking and earning rewards, Phantom strives to be the go-to crypto companion, helping users confidently navigate and harness the power of decentralized finance and digital ownership.
