Create a new Phantom wallet

You can create a new Phantom wallet in two ways. Both are self-custodial, which means only you control your wallet and assets.

• Google or Apple account: You sign in with your Google or Apple account and set a four-digit PIN. You need both your account and PIN to restore your wallet. This wallet also has a Secret Recovery Phrase, which you can export and store offline as an additional backup.
• Secret Recovery Phrase: You receive a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase that gives you full control of your wallet. Write it down and store it securely offline. You need the recovery phrase to restore your wallet.

Phantom never holds your recovery phrases, private keys, and does not control your assets. We won't be able to help you if your credentials are lost.
