Phantom Wallet Guide

Phantom lets you create a multi-chain wallet on phone or as a browser extension. Choose 'Create a new wallet' → the seed phrase option (not email — lose the email, lose the wallet). Set a password, then write the 12 words on paper the moment they appear. Confirm them, and install the app on your second device using 'I already have a wallet'.

Think of on-chain apps as workshops you visit with your wallet: DEXs, NFT markets, staking. On mobile use the browser inside the wallet app; on desktop, sites detect the extension. Golden safety habit: never Google a crypto site — find the official link via the project's X account (check mutual followers and organic comments first), because scammers buy ads for perfect clones.

Every time a site asks you to sign something, read what it does. A malicious signature can approve access to your funds without ever seeing your seed phrase. When in doubt — reject, and ask the community.
