Your Phantom multi-chain wallet uses the same dApp connection method as MetaMask. If you’re using Phantom and MetaMask in the same browser profile, you can set a default wallet for dApp connections by following these steps:
Steps to Set Phantom As your Default Wallet (Extension)
- Click the icon of your current Account (upper left corner) to deploy the Menu and go to Settings (gear icon)
- Click on Preferences and then click on Default app wallet
- Choose the option that you want to be Default
If you prefer to separate Phantom from MetaMask entirely, you can move Phantom to a different browser or a separate Chrome profile. Here’s how:
Move Your Phantom Wallet to a Different Browser
- Go to Phantom settings > security & privacy > show recovery phrase
- Backup your recovery phrase
- Install Phantom extension on a different browser such as MS Edge, Brave, or Firefox
- Select "I already have a wallet" and import your Phantom secret recovery phrase
Move Your Phantom Wallet to a new Chrome Profile
- Go to Phantom settings > security & privacy > show recovery phrase
- Backup your recovery phrase
Add a Chrome profile:
- In the Chrome browser, at the top right, click Profile.
- Click Manage people.
- Click Add person.
- Choose a name and a photo.
- Click Save. A new window will open and ask you to turn on sync.
- (Optional) Turn sync on in Chrome with a Google Account for the new profile
Install Phantom extension on the new chrome profile
