Things To Remember

  • Phantom is non-custodial โ€” you and only you hold your keys.
  • Write down and securely store your seed phrase the moment you set up the wallet.
  • Never enter your seed phrase on any website โ€” only during wallet restoration on a trusted device.
  • Phantom charges a small fee on in-wallet swaps โ€” usually 0.85%.
