Method 1: Buy Coins on the Phantom Wallet App

First of all, it’s important to mention that Phantom does not sell any kind of crypto token. In fact, Phantom wallet is like any crypto wallet interface, that showcases balances on the Solana blockchain. Meaning, if you want to fund your wallet with fiat currency then you will need a third party that will buy these for you.

The third parties available in the Phantom wallet are MoonPay and Coinbase Pay. Finally, before you start the buying process, it is good to know that these parties could charge you fees that are linked to the crypto exchange you decide to choose.

Steps to Buy Crypto with Money on Phantom Wallet

Below are the steps you have to make to use a third-party provider for doing a crypto purchase from within the Phantom Wallet App.

1. In the Wallet App click on Solana
2. Next, click Buy button
3. A search screen appears, where you click Solana again
4. Give the amount in $ you want to buy and click Next
   
5. Choose one of the two available payment methods: MoonPay or Coinbase Pay
   
6. From here you will be redirected to a third-party provider to finish the purchase

Remember that I used Solana(SOL) as an example to buy with dollars. Of course, you can buy any cryptocurrency here that supports the Solana blockchain.

All in all, a very smooth and fast exercise that allows you to own cryptocurrency within a few minutes!

🔔 Pro Tip – It’s also possible to use the Phantom Wallet on Instagram. If you already have some NFTs stored in your wallet, you can easily connect them to your Instagram account.

Method 2: Receive Coins From an External Crypto Wallet

This other method requires you to receive coins from another exchange or external wallet.

Also, the deposit must take place from an external platform directly to your Phantom Wallet address.

Step 1: Find the Deposit button in your Phantom account

Make sure that you are logged in to your account. Next, above in the menu you will see three buttons: Deposit, Buy, and Send.

Tap on Deposit, and a list of token suggestions will appear on the screen.

Step 2: Select the coin you want to receive

If you see the token right away, then just tap on the search results. Otherwise, you have to enter the symbol of the token in the search bar above.

Step 3: Copy the wallet address to your device’s memory

Next, you will see a large QR code and below the account and wallet address you need to receive coins here. Now, you have to copy the wallet address to your device memory.

Warning: For sending and receiving cryptos in your Phantom Wallet it’s very important to make sure you have picked the right wallet address. Moreover, sending coins to the wrong wallet address or network will lead you to lose funds and unfortunately, you can’t get these back.

Therefore, always double-check before going to the next step.

Step 4: Give this wallet address to the sender or use it at an external exchange

The last step is to hand over the wallet address to the sender.

If, by any chance, you are the sender, just create a Coinbase or Binance Account to deposit the money.

At these exchanges, you need to start a withdrawal process where you need to paste(from memory) the address in the coins field and send the tokens.

Next, you should receive them in Phantom Wallet soon enough, depending on the network.

And that’s all – your Phantom Wallet is now funded!

It’s now possible to safely store, send, or swap tokens by using the Phantom Wallet App.
