Send crypto from Phantom

You can send crypto from Phantom to other wallet addresses, to your own accounts in Phantom, or to exchanges. 

Before you send

• You need a small amount of the network's native token (such as SOL on Solana or ETH on Ethereum) to cover network fees. For more information, see How much native token do I need for network fees?
• Make sure the network matches what you're sending from Phantom. For example, if you're sending USDC on Ethereum, the recipient's address needs to be on Ethereum too. For non-native tokens, check the network logo in the lower right of the token's symbol to confirm the network.
• When sending to a new address, Phantom may display a warning. You can continue if you're sure the address is correct.

Warning: Sending crypto on the wrong network can result in lost funds.

FAQ

Can Phantom recover my tokens?

No. Phantom is non-custodial and cannot reverse or retrieve transactions. See Can I reverse or cancel a transaction? for more information.

What if the exchange requires a memo but Phantom doesn't show the field?

Common issues

"Invalid format"

The address format doesn't match the selected network. Verify you're sending on the correct network.

Not enough funds to pay network fees

Make sure you have enough of the network's native token to cover the fee before sending. See How much native token do I need for network fees?

Token is malicious

Phantom blocks certain scam tokens designed to prevent sending or selling. Verified tokens display a purple checkmark. If you encounter a suspicious token, do not interact with it. See An unfamiliar token or collectible appeared in Phantom for more information.

Network is congested

Transactions can fail when networks are busy. On Ethereum, Polygon, and Bitcoin, try increasing your gas fee. On Solana and Sui, wait and retry during lower traffic.

Token sent to unsupported network

If you sent tokens on an unsupported network like BSC or Arbitrum, they may not appear in Phantom but are often recoverable. Use an EVM-compatible wallet like MetaMask or Trust Wallet to access them. See Recover tokens sent to unsupported networks.

Recipient address is incorrect

Sending to an incorrect or incompatible address can cause your transaction to fail or result in lost funds. Always copy and paste addresses rather than typing them manually.
