What is Phantom Wallet?
Phantom Wallet is a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet, allowing users to store and self control over their private keys & crypto assets (tokens, NFTs), while interacting with DeFi platforms & dApps. Originally built for Solana, Phantom now supports multiple chains, including Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Sui, and Bitcoin.

- When the Phantom popup opens, select “Create New Wallet”. Quickly read Terms/Privacy then click Continue/Accept.
- Create password (local): enter a strong password (≥12 characters, uppercase + lowercase + numbers + special characters). Note: the password only locks the interface on the device, not the seed phrase.
- Backup Secret Recovery Phrase (seed): Phantom displays 12/24 words. Write them down exactly in order on paper (cold backup). DO NOT save online, take a photo, send an email or save to the cloud.
- Verify the seed: select the words in the correct order when prompted, then click Confirm.
- Finish & get address: wallet created, copy the public address (or scan the QR code) to receive funds.
If users had an account, they could import wallet follow 2 cases:
- Import old wallet: select Use Secret Recovery Phrase, paste the old seed, set a new password, confirm.
- Connect Ledger: plug in Ledger, open Ethereum/Solana app on device, go to Connect Hardware Wallet and follow instructions to authorize.
Important: Always keep your passphrase safe. Do not share it with anyone. Losing it means you cannot recover your wallet.

Note: Phantom wallet only supports Solana, Ethereum, Base, Sui, Polygon and Bitcoin. So if you want to trade on other chains, you should use a different wallet.
Why Do Connection Errors Happen on Mobile?
Take Safari, the default iOS browser as an example. This browser does not support installing Web3 extensions. This creates friction when using Web3 platforms, as most protocols rely on extensions for blockchain communication. Phantom on mobile is still connected to Whales Market smoothly, but other wallets may have issues when using it on the phone.
On desktop, Chrome, Firefox, or Brave allow direct installation of these extensions, making wallet connections quick and easy. On mobile, however, Safari blocks this functionality, forcing users to rely on integrated DApp browsers inside wallets or specific Web3-enabled apps.
This is why tapping “Connect Wallet” on Safari often results in no response or error messages.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can easily connect Phantom to trade on Whales Market. This gives you access to early trading opportunities and helps you stay ahead in the fast moving pre-market crypto world.
