A concise guide for presentations — covers what Phantom is, how the browser extension works, security best practices, developer integration, and official resources.
Phantom is a modern self-custodial crypto wallet focused on ease-of-use and secure access to web3 applications. This presentation explains the browser extension experience, security features, developer integrations, and practical user advice for safe and effortless crypto management.
Wallet extensions bridge the browser and decentralized apps (dApps). Phantom puts a simple UI and curated security features in front of users so they can safely connect, send, receive, swap, and view NFTs without leaving the browser.
The Phantom browser extension provides account management, transaction signing, token and NFT viewing, and in-wallet swaps/staking features — all directly from the browser toolbar. It integrates with many popular dApps so users can authenticate and sign transactions with a click.
Phantom is available as a browser extension and mobile apps, enabling a consistent cross-device experience for users who want to move between desktop dApp interactions and mobile account monitoring.
Phantom is a self-custodial wallet: private keys are held by the user (encrypted locally) rather than by a central service. That design means users are responsible for seed phrase security, but also retain full control over funds and identity.
Creating a wallet or restoring from a seed takes only a few steps. The extension walks users through seed backup, naming, and setting a password to protect their local vault.
When a dApp requests a connection, Phantom shows a clear permission dialog describing what the dApp can access. Users should read these prompts carefully before approving.
All transaction requests show amounts, fees, and destination addresses. The signing dialog gives users a chance to confirm or reject — a crucial last line of defense.
Phantom provides SDKs and developer docs so dApps can detect and request connections from the extension, enabling features like single-click sign-in and seamless transaction workflows. Developers should follow the official SDK guidance for secure integration.
Use official SDK examples and test environments when building integrations; this reduces the risk of exposing users to faulty transaction flows.
For account recovery steps, suspicious activity, or suspected compromise, contact official support and follow verified recovery guidance. Never share private keys or seed phrases with anyone claiming to be support.
Phantom extension delivers a friendly, security-conscious entry point to web3. Users should embrace self-custody responsibly, follow best security practices, and rely only on official downloads and documentation. Developers should use official SDKs and test thoroughly to preserve user safety.
