Newly created Phantom wallets start with a Native SegWit bc1q
or in the case of Taproot addresses bc1p
. This makes it easier to not only buy Bitcoin (BTC) directly from within Phantom, but also send and receive BTC from other wallets and exchanges. This address is usually used by dApps like Magic Eden or Unisat as your "Payment address".
