Phantom
Phantom is a popular cryptocurrency wallet and browser extension primarily used for interacting with the Solana blockchain. It allows users to securely store, send, receive, and manage SOL and other Solana-based tokens (SPL tokens), as well as connect to decentralized applications (dApps) on Solana. The wallet features a user-friendly interface, built-in token swaps, NFT support, and staking capabilities.
Developers should learn Phantom when building or interacting with decentralized applications on the Solana blockchain, as it is the most widely used wallet in the Solana ecosystem for user authentication and transaction signing. It is essential for testing dApp integrations, handling token transactions, and implementing wallet connectivity in web3 projects, particularly for applications involving DeFi, NFTs, or gaming on Solana.
