Best Phantom Wallet Alternatives in 2026: Multi-Chain Wallets Beyond Solana

The right Phantom alternative depends on what Phantom does not cover for you. Stay on Phantom if Solana plus Bitcoin is your whole footprint; choose Backpack for Solana and EVM chains with an exchange in the same app, Solflare if you only use Solana, OKX Wallet, Trust Wallet or Exodus if you want TON and native Bitcoin in one wallet, and Tangem if you want your keys stored offline on a card. WATS Wallet fits if you want Solana, the major EVM chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain) and TON in one fully non-custodial wallet, with an optional WATS NFC Metal Card as a tap-to-authenticate step and every EVM action charged in ATS from one ATS balance on BSC; WATS Wallet does not support native Bitcoin.

Disclosure: WATS Wallet publishes this comparison, and WATS Wallet is our own product. We say plainly where it fits, and name the wallet that fits better where it does not. Competitor features were checked against each wallet's official site and help center in September and October 2026.

Phantom made Solana feel easy, and it now also covers Ethereum, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, HyperEVM, Robinhood Chain, Arc and native Bitcoin. It has also trimmed its list: Monad support ended on 26 August 2026 and Sui support on 24 September 2026, per Phantom's own help center notices (as of October 2026); what to do when a wallet drops a network or shuts down covers the steps. So why look elsewhere? Usually for one of four reasons: your activity has moved to a chain Phantom does not list (TON is not on its supported networks, and its help center names Arbitrum and Optimism as unsupported); you held assets on Monad or Sui; you want a physical authentication step rather than a software-only wallet; or you are tired of keeping a different native gas token on every EVM network. WATS Wallet is built around the first, third and fourth of those. This roundup starts there, then works through the Solana-first wallets, the broad multichain wallets and the offline-storage option, and says where another wallet is the better call.

Quick answer: Phantom alternatives in 2026

If you skim nothing else, here is the short version. WATS Wallet fits if you want Solana, EVM chains and TON under one self-custody identity, shared by a Chrome extension and a mobile app, with an optional NFC Metal Card for tap-to-authenticate and EVM fees charged in ATS from a single balance. It has no native Bitcoin. Backpack now ships its wallet and Backpack Exchange in one app and lists Solana, a long run of EVM networks, Sui, Aptos and Sei, but not TON. Solflare is Solana-only and has its own Shield hardware card. OKX Wallet, Trust Wallet and Exodus all cover EVM, Solana, TON and native Bitcoin; OKX and Trust do it with very long chain lists, and Exodus does it as a desktop-and-mobile app. Tangem keeps keys on an NFC card and signs offline. Phantom remains a sensible place to stay if Solana plus Bitcoin is your whole footprint. The rest of this guide explains how to choose.

How we compared (chains, custody, BTC support, fees)

This roundup is qualitative on purpose. There are no invented prices, ratings or benchmarks, and the competitor claims come from each vendor's own pages. Where a vendor page is undated or a feature's status is unclear, we say so instead of guessing. We weighed each wallet on four practical axes:

• Chain coverage — which ecosystems are supported natively, with particular attention to Solana, the major EVM chains, TON and Bitcoin, since those are the dividing lines between these wallets.
• Custody and recovery — whether you hold your own keys, and how recovery works. Every wallet here is self-custody at its core. WATS Wallet is fully non-custodial: you generate and hold your own keys, and recovery is by your recovery phrase.
• Native BTC support — whether you can hold actual Bitcoin in the same wallet. This is the one axis on which WATS Wallet does not compete, and we say so wherever it is decisive.
• Fees and physical factor — how each wallet handles gas on different networks, and whether it offers any physical hardware step of its own.

If you want the conceptual background on why these chains behave so differently, our explainer on EVM vs Solana vs TON is a useful companion to this list.

The alternatives (WATS Wallet, Backpack, Solflare, OKX, Trust Wallet, Exodus, Phantom, Tangem)

The list starts with WATS Wallet, then moves through the Solana-first wallets, the broad multichain wallets, the wallet you may be leaving and the offline-storage option.

WATS Wallet — one self-custody identity across Solana, EVM and TON

WATS Wallet treats Solana, the major EVM networks (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain) and TON as supported chains under a single self-custody identity. Sending, receiving, swapping and bridging all work on Solana and TON as well as on EVM. It is fully non-custodial: you generate and hold your own keys and your recovery phrase in the extension and the app, and WATS never holds a key. It is not a seedless wallet, so the recovery phrase is what restores access, and it is worth backing up properly.

Three WATS products share that one identity: a Chrome extension for desktop dApps, a mobile app and an NFC Metal Card. The card is easy to misread, so here is what it is. It is optional and holds no private keys, and it is not cold storage. You tap it to your phone to authenticate access or confirm a signature in the mobile app. It has a unique card ID, pairs to exactly one device, and is built to MIL-STD-810 on an NTAG 216 chip; the steel card is military-grade metal rated IP68. Functionally it sits closer to a physical security key than to a vault: the keys stay in the apps, and the card is the tap that proves it is you. Phantom, Backpack, OKX Wallet, Trust Wallet and Exodus ship no physical factor of their own, though some connect third-party hardware such as Ledger. Tangem and Solflare Shield are NFC cards that store keys, which is a different job from this one.

The fee model is the other difference. On EVM networks, every action in WATS Wallet is charged in ATS instead of native gas, through an ERC-4337 paymaster. The fee is debited from one ATS balance on BSC (BNB Chain), whichever EVM network the transaction runs on. Other wallets here that let you pay gas in a different token, such as Trust Wallet's FlexGas or Tangem's Smart Gas, expect that token to be held on the network you are using. The details are on our ATS fee page. Solana and TON are fully supported; fees on TON are also paid in ATS, while Solana sits outside that fee model and pays its own fees in SOL. It is worth being precise about what ATS does and does not mean, because it is easy to overstate. Paying in ATS changes which token covers the fee, not the underlying network cost. It tracks live network cost, it is not a discount, it is not gasless, and it still requires a funded ATS balance. Collected ATS is burned, taking supply from 100M toward a 30M floor.

The limits are plain. WATS Wallet does not natively support Bitcoin, so if BTC has to sit in the same wallet as your Solana and EVM assets, Phantom, OKX Wallet, Trust Wallet, Exodus or Tangem is the better call. It is not a trading terminal or an exchange, so if you trade actively on Solana, the Solana-first wallets below are built more for that. Our direct WATS vs Phantom comparison goes deeper on the head-to-head, and the supported chains page lists the full set.

Backpack — Solana home chain, wallet and exchange in one app

Backpack is a self-custody wallet that now ships together with Backpack Exchange as one mobile app. Solana is its home chain, and its own pages list a long run of EVM networks, including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base and BNB Chain, plus Sui, Aptos and Sei. TON is not listed, and neither are native Bitcoin accounts. It connects Ledger, Trezor and Keystone hardware wallets, and recovery is a 12- or 24-word phrase. Worth knowing: the same app also holds a separate custodial exchange account, while the wallet itself is self-custodial. If you are leaving Phantom because you want an exchange next to your wallet, or because you want the Monad or Sui coverage Phantom has dropped, Backpack is a reasonable destination. The Backpack pages we checked do not describe a way to pay gas in another token, so EVM fees are in each network's own token. WATS Wallet differs by adding TON, the optional NFC tap factor, and EVM fees charged in ATS from one balance.

Solflare — Solana-only, with its own NFC hardware card

Solflare is a Solana-focused wallet with a browser extension, iOS and Android apps and a web wallet. Its accounts are Solana-only, so TON, native Bitcoin and EVM accounts fall outside it. It has grown around Solana in 2026: Solflare Bridge gives permanent deposit addresses on chains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB Chain and delivers a Solana token into the wallet, which is a funding route rather than chain support, and Solflare Perps adds on-chain trading. For fees, Gasless Send and Gasless Swap cover the network fee and deduct it from the token you are sending when you lack SOL, though Solflare still recommends keeping a small SOL buffer. Solflare Shield, announced in December 2025, is a battery-free NFC card with a certified secure element that signs through the Solflare app and supports Solana only. Like Tangem, it is key-storage hardware rather than a tap factor on top of an app-held key. If your footprint is Solana alone, Solflare is a credible Phantom alternative. If it is not, WATS Wallet adds EVM chains and TON in one identity.

OKX Wallet — very wide chain list, with TON and native Bitcoin

OKX Wallet, formerly OKX Web3 Wallet, is a self-custody wallet with a very long chain list: its iOS listing says 130+ blockchains, spanning many EVM networks, Solana, TON (supported since July 2024) and native Bitcoin, including Taproot and Ordinals. It runs as a Chromium extension, as a standalone mobile app and as a mode inside the main OKX app. It also lets you pay network fees in a stablecoin through Gas Station; the current help page lists Solana only, while earlier versions covered a dozen EVM networks, so check which networks apply before relying on it. OKX has no hardware of its own, but connects Keystone, Ledger and OneKey. Since July 2026 it also offers a Social Login Wallet in which keys are managed in a trusted execution environment. If you need breadth, TON and native Bitcoin in one place, OKX Wallet delivers that. WATS Wallet covers fewer chains and has no Bitcoin; what it adds is the NFC Metal Card and EVM fees from one ATS balance.

Trust Wallet — mainstream multichain default

Trust Wallet advertises 100+ blockchains, including the major EVM networks, Solana, TON and native Bitcoin. It has iOS and Android apps and a browser extension. It is mobile-first and a sensible default for someone who wants one familiar app across many assets, particularly Phantom users who want Bitcoin in the same place as Solana and Ethereum. On 15 September 2026 Trust ended built-in support for 24 networks, among them Aurora, Moonbeam and Polygon zkEVM, and four others had already been sunset by their own ecosystems; the EVM ones can still be added manually as custom networks. Its FlexGas feature lets you pay gas in TWT, USDT or USDC on BNB Chain, and in USDT or USDC on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and OP Mainnet, but the gas token has to be held on the address and network you send from. Trust has no physical factor of its own; the extension can connect an external hardware wallet. Against Trust Wallet, what WATS Wallet adds is the NFC Metal Card and the single ATS balance behind every EVM fee. Trust Wallet's advantages are native Bitcoin and its longer chain list.

Exodus — desktop-and-mobile wallet, now a payments app

Exodus is a wallet for desktop (macOS, Windows and Linux) and mobile that supports EVM networks, Solana, TON and native Bitcoin. It began as a Bitcoin-first wallet, and in 2026 it repositioned itself as a payments app, launching Exodus Pay in the US in April. Two changes matter if you connect to dApps. Support for the Exodus Web3 Wallet browser extension ended on 1 October 2026, and WalletConnect and the in-app dApp browser have been removed from Exodus Mobile; Exodus's own help center points users who want web3 apps to other wallets. Swaps go through third-party providers, and fees are paid in each network's native asset. Exodus works with Trezor on desktop and Ledger on mobile but has no hardware of its own. WATS Wallet has a Chrome extension and mobile app for dApps, an optional NFC Metal Card and EVM fees from one ATS balance; Exodus has native Bitcoin and desktop apps, and WATS Wallet has neither.

Phantom — what it does well and where it stops

Be fair to the wallet you might be leaving. Phantom's Transaction Previews, built on technology from Blowfish, which Phantom acquired in 2024, simulate transactions and warn about malicious ones and unlimited approvals. It has expanded beyond Solana to Ethereum, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, HyperEVM, Robinhood Chain, Arc and native Bitcoin, and it offers Phantom Terminal for browser-based trading, plus Phantom Cash for payments. Recovery is a 12-word phrase, or a Google or Apple account with a PIN, and the phrase can still be exported.

Where it stops is specific. First, Phantom does not list TON, and its help center names Arbitrum and Optimism as unsupported; Monad support ended on 26 August 2026 and Sui support on 24 September 2026, according to Phantom's own help center notices. Second, it has no hardware or physical authentication factor of its own. It supports some Ledger models, but not Trezor or Tangem, and the Phantom Cash card is a spending card rather than a security device. Third, fees are still paid in each network's native token apart from some gasless options. Phantom's gasless transactions on Solana take the fee from the token you are swapping or sending, and its EVM gasless option covers swaps only: Phantom states that it does not make sends gasless. For Solana-first users who also hold Bitcoin and want neither TON nor a physical step, staying on Phantom is the low-friction answer. WATS Wallet makes sense when those boundaries are what is blocking you: TON next to Solana and EVM, a tap-to-authenticate card, and every EVM action charged in ATS from one balance.

Phantom ended its support for Sui network on September 24, 2026.

Tangem — NFC card that stores keys on the card

Tangem answers a different question than the software wallets above: not which interface feels best, but how to keep keys offline. It is a hardware wallet shaped like an NFC card (there is also a ring), and its secure chip generates and stores the private keys on the card itself, signing transactions whenever you tap it to your phone. The card is the wallet, the keys never leave it, and Tangem calls it a cold wallet. It supports roughly 90 blockchains by its own count, including EVM networks, Solana, TON and native Bitcoin, which makes it a legitimate Phantom alternative for people who want offline key storage. The trade-offs are real. It has no screen, so the phone app is the only interface, and that app is mobile-only, with no desktop app or browser extension; the cards are sold in sets of two or three, with a ring sold bundled with cards; and the default setup is seedless, with backup by cloning to the other cards, although a seed phrase is optional. Since February 2026 the same app also offers an app-only hot-wallet mode with no card. Its Smart Gas feature pays fees in a token such as USDC on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum and Base, but the fee token must be held on that same network. One contrast is worth drawing precisely, since both products are NFC cards: the WATS NFC Metal Card is the inverse of Tangem's. Tangem's card holds the keys and signs, while the WATS NFC Metal Card holds no keys at all and only taps to authenticate, with the keys staying in the WATS apps. Tangem gives you cold storage and also covers TON. WATS Wallet gives you a tap factor on top of a wallet with a Chrome extension and one ATS fee balance for EVM. We unpack the head-to-head in WATS vs Tangem and the broader NFC card vs hardware wallet explainer.

Comparison table

This table maps each wallet to the things that decide the choice. It is deliberately qualitative: no prices and no ratings. Chain counts are the vendors' own claims.

Wallet	Best for	Chain focus	TON	Native BTC	Notable extras
WATS Wallet	Solana + EVM + TON with a physical tap step	EVM, Solana, TON	Yes	No	Extension + mobile app; optional NFC Metal Card (tap to authenticate, holds no keys); EVM fees in ATS from one BSC balance
Backpack	Solana plus EVM with an exchange in the same app	Solana, many EVM networks, Sui, Aptos, Sei	No	No	Wallet and Backpack Exchange in one mobile app; Ledger, Trezor and Keystone support
Solflare	Solana-only users	Solana	No	No	Shield NFC hardware wallet (Solana only); Gasless Send/Swap fallback; Bridge and Perps
OKX Wallet	Broad multichain reach with TON and BTC	130+ chains per its iOS listing	Yes	Yes	Gas Station stablecoin gas (current page lists Solana only); Keystone, Ledger and OneKey support
Trust Wallet	Mainstream multichain default	100+ chains advertised	Yes	Yes	FlexGas on five EVM networks; mobile apps and extension
Exodus	Desktop and mobile app	EVM, Solana, TON, Bitcoin	Yes	Yes	Desktop on macOS, Windows and Linux; extension support ended; no dApp connections on mobile
Phantom	Solana-first users who also hold BTC	Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, HyperEVM, Robinhood Chain, Arc, Bitcoin	No	Yes	Transaction Previews; partial gasless swaps; Ledger support; Monad and Sui removed
Tangem	Offline key storage on a card	About 90 chains incl. EVM, Solana, TON, BTC	Yes	Yes	NFC card stores keys on-card; mobile-only app; Smart Gas on five EVM networks

Best for one wallet across Solana + EVM + TON

This is the use case WATS Wallet is built for. If your activity is genuinely spread, with some Solana, several EVM chains and TON, you can carry several specialist wallets and reconcile them yourself, or use one wallet that supports all three. Phantom, Backpack and Solflare do not support TON, so they are out for this footprint. OKX Wallet, Trust Wallet, Exodus and Tangem do cover all three, and they add native Bitcoin, so if BTC matters they are the better answer. WATS Wallet's case against them is narrower and specific: the optional NFC Metal Card adds a tap-to-authenticate step without ever holding a key, and every EVM fee comes out of one ATS balance on BSC instead of a gas token held on each network.

The deciding factor against WATS Wallet here is Bitcoin. If you want native BTC alongside your Solana and TON assets, it will not do that. If your spread is Solana, EVM and TON without a hard BTC requirement and the tap step or the single fee balance appeals, it is the one we recommend. You can see the full list on the supported chains page.

Best for Solana-first power users

If your footprint is mostly Solana, the question narrows to which features you want around it. Phantom offers Transaction Previews, Phantom Terminal for trading and native Bitcoin. Solflare offers Solana-only focus with Perps, Bridge and the Shield card. Backpack offers a wallet and an exchange in one app, with EVM networks beyond Solana. None of the three supports TON, and WATS Wallet is not a trading terminal or an exchange, so for active Solana trading those wallets are the more natural fit. WATS Wallet's case starts when your footprint stops being Solana-only and EVM chains, TON, a physical tap step or a single ATS fee balance enter the picture.

What you keep and lose when leaving Phantom

Switching wallets is never entirely free, so weigh both sides before you move. What you keep, whichever alternative you choose, is self-custody, and your on-chain assets are not trapped in any one app. Addresses and assets live on the chain rather than in the wallet software. You can move funds by sending them to the new wallet's addresses, or, where the new wallet supports importing a recovery phrase, by importing it; check that the new wallet supports each chain before you move. If you created your Phantom wallet with a Google or Apple account, export the recovery phrase first.

What you lose depends on the destination. Move to WATS Wallet and you gain TON, the option of an NFC Metal Card as a tap-to-authenticate factor and EVM fees charged in ATS from one balance; you give up native Bitcoin and Phantom Terminal. Move to a Solana-first wallet like Backpack or Solflare and you keep Solana depth without gaining TON. Move to OKX Wallet, Trust Wallet or Exodus and you gain TON and a long chain list with native Bitcoin, but you keep paying gas in each network's token or in a stablecoin held on that network. The move is not strictly either-or: you can keep Phantom for Solana trading alongside a broader wallet, which costs attention rather than a migration.

The rule this guide keeps returning to is to match the wallet to the footprint you actually have. If that footprint is Solana alone, or Solana plus Bitcoin, Phantom and the Solana-first wallets already serve it. If it spans Solana, the major EVM chains and TON, and you would like one fully non-custodial identity, EVM fees from a single ATS balance and an optional NFC Metal Card that authenticates without holding a key, WATS Wallet is the one we recommend.
