I use phantom wallet with Hivemapper and recently out of nowhere had my funds stolen. I never shared my secret phrase, clicked or interacted with other sites than Hivemappers official app, messaged anyone asking of my info, or clicked on any weird Airdrops. I know the scams and how to stay safe. But I’m at a loss now about how this happened, it must be security flaws in their chrome extension or app and think the app should be removed as updates are making it worse and not safe at all. Their support team isn’t helpful at helping me even track down what happened or offer any insights into what happened. I realize it’s on me to custody my stuff but believe their app has some sort of major underlying security flaw enabling the secret passphrase or keys to be exposed by a hacker in some way. Stay away from Phantom wallet.

this app has gotten progressively worse and worse since it first launched. i love phantom and the app has pretty much everything necessary. however, for some odd reason, the app has become slower and slower and slower over the four or so weeks ive been using it. when i first got it, it was great and i had no complaints. after about three weeks it started getting pretty slow and i was scratching my head more and more. i went to update the app, hoping that would return it to how it once was, BUT IT ONLY MADE IT SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER! it is slow to start up, it is slow to show my newly deposited funds, it is slow to switch wallets, it is slow to open the browser and connect with sites. every time i eventually succeed in switching wallets, im still looking at the contents of the previous wallet until i refresh the page one or two times… i don’t understand why this app is getting slower and slower. maybe phantom didn’t prepare for the bandwidth it has received? idk, but please fix it. i love phantom and have no plans of leaving. but this app needs a major improvement of speed and operability.

I’ve been in crypto since 2020 and I’ve used countless apps and wallets (hot and cold) and Phantom is hands down the most easy to use out of all of them. It’s not even close how much easier it is and you won’t question yourself like you do with other apps and wallets when you make a transaction. Make one with Phantom and it goes through within a second (for those that have used ETH wallets, you’ll see the difference immediately). Plus now that they’ve opened up the use of various chains like: BTC, ETH, SUI, and even BASE, you really can make this your primary hot wallet (although I do recommend you connect it to a cold wallet for maximum security) 👍🏻
