Phantom Shared: 2021 has been an incredible year for Phantom & the Solana ecosystem! We opened up our invite-only beta in March and then launched publicly in July. In just 9 months we have grown to over 1.8M monthly active users with no sign of slowing down!
This year our users have staked over $16B worth of SOL, swapped over $1.3B of tokens, and made over 55M transactions on their favorite dapps.
The most popular dapps this year were RaydiumProtocol, MagicEden_NFT, SolanartNFT and orca_so! The quality of products being built and amount of talent entering the space has been really exciting to see. We can’t wait to see what gets built next year!
On behalf of the entire Phantom team we’d like to thank you for all the love and support this year. We’re lucky to a part of this community and we can’t wait for you to see what we have planned for you next year!
For Clarity, Phantom is a non-custodial browser extension and crypto wallet that offers a simple and secure way of interacting with multiple blockchain networks in the Solana ecosystem. … This is a decentralized Web 3.0 self-custodial wallet that stores your private keys on your device thus giving you complete control of your funds.
Community Response: When you guys support Ethereum then it’s game over for Metamask.
So, you collect data? And, still no Github to show the code? No thanks. Metamask is all open but they still #1 on eth. Open sourcing wallets isn’t the same as smart contracts, you don’t lose the market if you do u just gain even more users.
Can’t wait for the IOS version! And maybe being able to mint directly to your wallet no 3rd party.
Once the app is passed beta pretty sure Phantom will allow us to buy and sell from our mobile browsers which will be awesome.
It looks like there is an inflection point where it’s slowing down. Here’s hoping for an S curve.
I’m honestly impressed everyday with the amount of people building on Solana. And, some of these NFT utility tools are the future, no doubt.
Numbers don’t lie. This’s been awesome growth in Solana ecosystem. The adoption is well balance between defi (RaydiumProtocol + orca_so) and NFTs (MagicEden_NFT + SolanartNFT). What’s great is people’ll find out phantom, by far the best UX wallet of all.
Still getting messages regularly from friends asking how to purchase NFTs on Solana.
It has been a true joy to use phantom. What a great Dapp. Easy to use. Fast transactions. Very low cost compared to Erc20. Love it.
The Phantom app is just like the Google Chrome extension, can’t wait for it to release.
