Phantom review: still the best Solana wallet now that it covers Ethereum too?
We installed Phantom, swapped tokens across Solana and an Ethereum-chain asset, staked SOL through its liquid product, and weighed its 0.85% swap fee against MetaMask before scoring it.
Our verdict
Phantom remains the wallet Solana users reach for first, and as of September 2026 it has genuinely become a multi-chain product, covering Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Bitcoin, HyperEVM, Sui and Robinhood Chain from one seed phrase. It still trails MetaMask on EVM depth and custom-network flexibility, and a string of 2025 vulnerability disputes and a still-unresolved lawsuit mean a security-conscious user should not treat the expansion as a reason to lower their guard.
Best for: Solana-first users who also want everyday Ethereum, Base and Bitcoin coverage in one app
Phantom built its name as the wallet Solana traders installed without thinking twice. We installed it fresh, moved SOL and an Ethereum-chain token through its swap flow, staked a portion through its liquid staking product, and checked whether the multi-chain expansion has actually caught up to MetaMask.
Solana roots, but the chain list is longer than you might expect
As of September 2026 Phantom covers Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Bitcoin, HyperEVM, Sui and Robinhood Chain from a single seed phrase. Bitcoin support is not an afterthought either: both Native SegWit and Taproot addresses work, which most wallets that bolt Bitcoin on late tend to skip.
We bought and held an Ethereum-chain asset from inside Phantom to confirm the EVM side actually works day to day, not just in the marketing copy. The token detail screen carries a live chart, a buy panel and a desktop-browser trade option, all without leaving the app or switching networks manually.
