Phantom allows sending tokens and collectibles across supported networks to other wallets, your own Phantom accounts, or exchanges. Ensure you have enough native tokens for fees and confirm the correct network and recipient address before sending, as transactions are irreversible. Phantom warns of invalid addresses and blocks scam tokens. Tokens appear after confirmation. For unsupported networks, tokens may be recoverable via compatible wallets. Phantom is non-custodial and cannot recover lost tokens.
In Phantom, you can send tokens (and collectibles) to other wallet addresses, to your own accounts in Phantom, or to exchanges. You can send on all supported networks.
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 About 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. Network fees apply to all transactions, including transfers between your own accounts in Phantom.
- When sending to a new address, Phantom may display a warning. You can continue if you're sure the address is correct.
Warning: Always confirm the recipient address and network before you send. Blockchain transactions cannot be reversed, and sending to the wrong address or network may result in permanent loss.

FAQ
Can Phantom recover my tokens?
No. Phantom is non-custodial and cannot reverse or retrieve transactions. If you sent funds to an EVM network that Phantom doesn't support, see Recover tokens sent to an unsupported network.
What if the exchange requires a memo but Phantom doesn't show the field?
Phantom only shows the Memo field for tokens that support memos. If the field doesn't appear, the token doesn't require one.
Common issues
"Invalid format"
The address format doesn't match the selected network. Verify you're sending on the correct network. For example, if sending a token on Solana, you need to send it to another address on Solana.
The "Send" button is missing
The Send button only appears when you have a balance of the token you're sending. If it's missing despite having a balance, your wallet may be in watch-only mode. Import your recovery phrase, private key, or sign in with your email and PIN to enable sending. If your wallet shows "Transactions Disabled," see Why am I seeing "Transactions Disabled" in my Phantom wallet?
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 About 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 an unsupported network.
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.
