Phantom, a highly regarded non-custodial wallet designed for the Solana blockchain, has recently announced its plan to launch a multi-chain integration with Ethereum and Polygon.
This strategic move is expected to significantly elevate the wallet’s functionalities and expand its user base. With this integration, users will be able to seamlessly switch between the Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon networks, streamlining the management of their assets across different chains.
