Quick summary: Phantom is a modern crypto & NFT browser extension with multi-chain support. Pairing Phantom with a Ledger hardware wallet provides offline key security while keeping the convenience of Phantom’s dApp and NFT UX.
Phantom is a browser extension and mobile wallet tailored for Web3—letting you store, send, and display crypto and NFTs across Solana, Ethereum, and selected L2s. It focuses on usability: one-click dApp connections, NFT galleries, and transaction histories.
Always install from official pages or well-known stores. Check the domain (phantom.com) and reviews. Avoid third-party downloads or cloned pages that request seed phrases.
A Ledger hardware device stores private keys offline. When you connect Ledger to Phantom, transactions are signed on the physical device, drastically reducing the risk of remote compromise while still letting you use dApps and NFTs via Phantom’s UX.
Never enter your Ledger recovery phrase into any website or extension. Download Ledger Live only from the official Ledger domain to avoid fake apps and malware.
Regularly update Phantom, your browser, and Ledger Live. Firmware updates to Ledger devices can include important security fixes.
Only grant dApp permissions you trust and double-check URLs before approving transactions on your Ledger device.
