## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Crypto users who want a self-custodial browser and mobile wallet for trading, staking, and NFTs across Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Base, Polygon, Sui, and Monad, without giving up control of their private keys.
- **What you get**: A free browser extension (Chrome, Brave, Edge) and iOS/Android app with a built-in token swapper, Solana staking, NFT management, Ledger hardware wallet support, scam/phishing detection, and a fiat on-ramp for buying crypto with cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or bank transfer.
- **How it works**: You create or import a self-custodial wallet secured by a recovery phrase, optionally pairing a Ledger hardware wallet, then use Phantom's extension or mobile in-app browser to connect to onchain apps, swap tokens, stake SOL, and manage NFTs directly from the wallet.
