About Phantom

Phantom is a team of experienced builders with a ton of traction in a big and growing market. Our users are passionate, and we've acquired millions of users in our 3+ years, adding more every week. This is an exciting time to work in crypto and on wallets, as they play a pivotal role in onboarding new users and shaping the user experience. We are moving to a multi-chain world with new blockchains and scaling solutions gaining traction, but lacking decent wallets and bridges. DeFi and NFTs are exploding, yet they are still an afterthought in existing wallets.
