Multi-chain wallet with Solana-first UX, 17M+ MAU, $3B valuation

De un vistazo
Phantom is the most popular non-custodial wallet in the Solana ecosystem and, since 2024-2025, also cross-chain: 8 native chains in 2026 (Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Sui, Monad, Bitcoin SegWit + Taproot, HyperEVM). Over 17M monthly active users by late 2025 and a $3B valuation from a $150M Series C closed Jan 2025 (Sequoia-led with Paradigm, a16z crypto, Variant). Browser extension + iOS + Android only; no standalone desktop app. Closed-source client (Connect SDK is open). 0.85% in-app swap platform fee is the main competitive weakness vs Backpack (0% on Solana).
Active users in the Solana ecosystem (Jupiter, Magic Eden, Drift, MarginFi) who want the most polished consumer wallet on the chain. Multi-chain users who need Solana + EVM majors + Bitcoin native in one app. NFT collectors thanks to deep Magic Eden integration.
You're fee-conscious on Solana swaps (Backpack is 0%, Phantom is 0.85%). You want native ETH liquid staking via Lido or Kiln in-app (Phantom doesn't have it). You need a standalone desktop app (extension-only). You need BSC, Arbitrum, Optimism, or Avalanche (not supported).

Pros
- Best consumer UX in the Solana ecosystem in 2026: 17M+ monthly active users and the most mature NFT experience via Magic Eden integration
- Native support for 8 chains: Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Sui, Monad, Bitcoin (SegWit + Taproot), HyperEVM — broader than most Solana-first wallets
- Series C Jan 2025 at $3B valuation (Sequoia, Paradigm, a16z crypto, Variant) — well-funded with long-horizon investors
- Native SOL staking + PSOL liquid staking token; Blowfish (acquired 2024) powers rich pre-sign transaction warnings
- Italian UI native; on-ramps via MoonPay, PayPal, and Robinhood Connect
Cons
- 0.85% platform fee on in-app swaps — Backpack offers 0% on Solana swaps, a documented competitive disadvantage for high-volume traders
- Closed-source wallet client (only Phantom Connect SDK is open source); last public audit dated June 2024 (Least Authority), no public audit reported since
- No standalone desktop app — Phantom on desktop is the browser extension only; any "Phantom Desktop.exe" is phishing
- Hardware wallet support limited to Ledger (USB on extension, Bluetooth on mobile); Trezor not supported
- Phantom Cash USD stablecoin (launched Sep 30, 2025) and Phantom Visa debit card (launched Dec 15, 2025) are US-only — no EU/Italy timeline as of May 2026
