Learn how to import your Magic Eden wallet into Phantom before Magic Eden Wallet is deprecated.
To keep the same addresses and assets from Magic Eden, you need to import a private key for each network rather than a recovery phrase.
Before you begin
- Download Phantom from phantom.com/download. You can use the browser extension or the mobile app.
- Private keys imported into Phantom on one device do not sync to other devices. If you use Phantom on multiple devices, you will need to import your private keys on each one.
- Transferring assets to a new account requires a small amount of each network's native token to cover network fees. See how much you need for details.
Step 1: Export your private keys from Magic Eden
Follow Magic Eden's guide to export your private keys: How to Migrate Your Magic Eden Wallet Before April 1st.
If you used multiple networks in Magic Eden, such as Solana and Bitcoin, export a private key for each one.
Phantom supports importing private keys on the following networks: Solana, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Base, and Polygon. Private keys on other networks cannot be imported.
Step 2: Import your private keys into Phantom
The steps differ slightly depending on whether you are new to Phantom or already have a wallet.
New to Phantom
- Download Phantom from phantom.com/download and open the app or extension.
- Select I Already Have a Wallet → Other Import Options → Import Private Key.
- Choose the network the private key is on, for example Solana.
- Enter a name for the account. This is only visible to you.
- Enter the private key manually. Magic Eden does not allow copying the key, so you will need to type it in. The key is case-sensitive.
- Phantom will show the first and last few characters of the detected address. Confirm they match your wallet address in Magic Eden.
- Select Import.
- If prompted, create a Phantom username.
You now have a Phantom wallet with one account on one network.
To import private keys for additional networks, follow the steps in the existing Phantom wallet section below.
Existing Phantom wallet
- Select your profile avatar in the upper left.
- Go to Settings → Manage Accounts → Add Account → Import Private Key.
- Choose the network the private key is on, for example Solana.
- Enter a name for the account. This is only visible to you.
- Enter the private key manually. Magic Eden does not allow copying the key, so you will need to type it in. The key is case-sensitive.
- Phantom will show the first and last few characters of the detected address. Confirm they match your wallet address in Magic Eden.
- Select Import.
The imported account appears in your account list along with your existing Phantom account.
Repeat these steps for each private key you exported from Magic Eden.
Step 3: Transfer your assets to a Phantom account
Imported private key accounts do not sync across devices. We recommend transferring your assets to a Phantom account backed by a recovery phrase, which you can restore on any device.
New to Phantom
If you do not yet have a recovery phrase account in Phantom, create one first.
- Go to Settings → Manage Accounts → Create Accounts → Create New Account.
- Phantom will generate a recovery phrase. Write it down and store it somewhere secure and offline. You can also view it later at Settings → Security and Privacy → Show Recovery Phrase.
Once your new account is set up, transfer your assets to it:
- Select the imported private key account that holds your Magic Eden assets.
- Choose the asset you want to transfer and select Send.
- Select your new Phantom account as the destination.
- Confirm the transfer.
Repeat for each asset and network you want to move.
Existing Phantom wallet
- Select the imported private key account that holds your Magic Eden assets.
- Choose the asset you want to transfer and select Send.
- Select your Phantom account as the destination.
- Confirm the transfer.
Repeat for each asset and network you want to move.
FAQ
Why do I see "incorrect format" when importing a private key from Magic Eden?
This can happen for two reasons:
- You copied and pasted the key. Type it in manually instead.
- You selected the wrong network. For example, you may have Solana selected in Phantom but are entering a key for Ethereum. Make sure the network selected in Phantom matches the key you are importing.
