Phantom Wallet Adds Ethereum and Polygon Blockchain Support, Enhances Security Features

  • Extension to take effect May 1
  • Users will be able to make transactions on all three blockchains

The Phantom cryptocurrency wallet will begin supporting Ethereum and Polygon blockchains.

Brandon Millman, CEO and co-founder of Phantom, said the integration will be available to 3 million users.

Support for Ethereum and Polygon will allow users to send digital assets through blockchains and digital applications such as Uniswap and Aave, as well as NFT trading platforms such as Blur and OpenSea.

In addition, customers can trade, store and interact across all three blockchains…

“If you have MetaMask, you can connect via seed phrase and keep all assets in one place,” the company said in a statement.

The wallet will include features for NFT owners. It will display specific data related to collections. Users will also be able to post their products to marketplaces directly from Phantom.

The wallet will also add new security features that hide spam sent to the crypto wallet. Phantom CEO noted:

“Overall, security is one of our biggest concerns..

If you go to a website, we warn you that you are leaving Phantom, and if we realize that the website is malicious, we block it. Obviously, users can ignore warnings, but we don’t advise against it.”

In January 2022, Phantom raised $109 million in investment and reached a valuation of $1.2 billion.

The funding round was led by Paradigm, and Andreessen Horowitz, Jump Capital, Solana, and other investors participated.
