My thoughts: SOL/TRON Integration & Phantom Wallet đź‘»

Phantom Wallet’s 15M users now have a gateway to TRON.

Phantom is one of the most popular multichain crypto wallets, boasting over 15 million monthly active users as of January 2025. Originally known as the go-to wallet for Solana, Phantom has expanded to support multiple blockchains (including Ethereum, Polygon, Bitcoin, Sui, and more). This enormous user base represents a significant new audience for the TRON ecosystem when TRX integration goes live. In practical terms, adding TRON support to Phantom would instantly expose millions of users – many of whom are comfortable with Solana DeFi, NFTs, and memecoins – to TRON’s blockchain. For TRON, which has a large following in Asia and strong use in stablecoins, tapping into Phantom’s global user pool could accelerate cross-pollination between the communities. It essentially turns Phantom into a gateway app bridging Solana’s ecosystem and TRON’s, lowering the barrier for newcomers to try TRON without downloading a dedicated TronLink wallet.

The significance of Phantom’s user count cannot be overstated. Phantom’s reach in the Solana community (and increasingly in Ethereum and others) means any new chain it integrates immediately gains a broad audience. For example, when Phantom added support for Sui in late 2024, it brought Sui to millions of existing users in one stroke. Phantom’s team is known to be selective about adding chains, focusing on those with high performance or strong demand. The fact that TRON is on the radar (thanks in part to community demand and recent hints from Justin) indicates that TRON is seen as a valuable addition to the multi-chain lineup. If the TRX integration proceeds, TRON would join an elite group of networks in Phantom – signalling to users that TRON is a first-class citizen in the multi-chain world alongside Solana and Ethereum.

Onboarding Millions via a TRX Integration Page

One likely outcome of Phantom integrating TRX is a dedicated “integration notification” page for onboarding the flow for users. Typically, when Phantom introduces a new chain, it announces it through blogs, in-app prompts, or splash screens to educate users. We can expect a prominent announcement or setup wizard guiding Phantom’s 15M users to add a TRON account.

The impact of such an integration page is instant onboarding at scale. Users who might never have bothered to explore TRON would be just a tap away from creating a TRX wallet within their familiar Phantom app. This could immediately onboard millions into TRON’s network, effectively bootstrapping adoption overnight.

It’s also possible Phantom would feature TRX in its UI’s network switcher by default once integrated. That means even users who skip the announcement might notice a TRON option in their wallet settings, further driving curiosity.

TRON DApps on Phantom – SunPump, SunSwap, and APENFT

If Phantom adds TRON support, it’s likely to also incorporate TRON’s major platforms into its “Explore” or dApp discovery section. Phantom’s wallet interface on mobile has a tab (often called Explore or Browser) that showcases popular dApps and platforms for the selected network. With TRON enabled, users could see featured TRON ecosystem apps right within Phantom’s interface, increasing visibility for TRON’s key projects.

One obvious candidate is SunSwap. It’s a core pillar of TRON DeFi that Phantom might integrate via API or at least list SunSwap as the go-to DEX for token swaps on the TRON network. By featuring SunSwap on the platform screen, Phantom would make it seamless for users to swap into TRON tokens (or provide liquidity) without leaving the wallet. This could boost volume on SunSwap and overall TRON DeFi activity, as Phantom users try out TRON-based trading. Moreover, SunSwap’s integration could be marketed as providing low-fee, fast swaps – a selling point for TRON versus Ethereum’s higher fees.

Another likely highlight is SunPump. It has already succeeded in creating viral tokens like $SUNDOG, @TBULL, @NotAiCoin, @SUNCAT/@cryptoferus & @dtrx (TRONGUY). By integrating TRON, Phantom could choose to display SunPump’s latest meme token launches or at least make it easy to monitor them. In fact, Phantom has experience in this area – in late 2024 it began displaying Solana’s Pump.fun tokens and Moonshot tokens directly in the wallet minutes after launch, opening up the meme coin arena to its users. This feature allowed Phantom’s then 7M users to discover hot new memes instantly, driving a frenzy of trading. We could see a parallel on TRON: Phantom might list new SunPump meme coins in the Explore tab or support viewing their bonding curve progress, given SunPump’s similar mechanism. The result would be a big increase in exposure for TRON’s meme projects – imagine millions of Solana users suddenly seeing TRON memes trending and jumping in out of curiosity or FOMO.

Likewise, APENFT could gain a spot on Phantom’s platform screen. Phantom is very NFT-friendly (it made its name as a Solana NFT wallet), so it would likely include support for viewing TRON NFTs and interacting with APENFT’s marketplace. If APENFT dApp is featured, Phantom users could browse or trade TRON-based NFTs directly. This crossover might pique interest since Solana NFT collectors could explore TRON’s art and collectibles scene seamlessly. For TRON, having APENFT accessible to Phantom users means new eyeballs on its NFT offerings and potentially more traders for TRON NFTs, which historically haven’t had the same level of hype as Ethereum or Solana NFTs.

Phantom’s integration would shine a spotlight on TRON’s ecosystem apps. SunSwap might handle the influx of cross-chain traders, SunPump’s meme tokens could ride a wave of attention (with TRON memes possibly trending beyond TRON’s usual user base), and APENFT could see increased activity from multi-chain NFT enthusiasts. This is essentially free marketing and integration for TRON’s dApps – being listed in Phantom puts them one tap away for millions of users. The cross-pollination could kickstart higher activity on TRON: for example, more liquidity in SunSwap pools, more meme coin launches and speculation on SunPump (with Phantom users apeing in), and more bids on TRON NFTs.

TRON Tokens on Phantom’s Trending List

One of Phantom’s popular features is its “Trending Tokens” section, which shows the tokens that are hot among Phantom users across networks. Currently, this includes trending SPL tokens (Solana tokens) and possibly ERC-20s or others, now that Phantom is multi-chain. With TRON support, TRON-based tokens (TRC-20) would become eligible to appear on this trending list. This could be a game-changer for awareness of TRON assets. If a TRON token starts pumping or sees heavy trading by Phantom users, it will bubble up to the trending screen, visible to everyone using Phantom.

The immediate effect could be a surge of interest in TRON assets. Solana users who predominantly traded SOL tokens might try swapping into TRX or TRON tokens just because they see them trending (the allure of a new trade opportunity). It also provides social proof – if something is trending in Phantom, many assume it’s worth looking at. This could drive a feedback loop: interest leads to trading, trading leads to trending, which leads to more interest. For TRON, which is often overshadowed in Western media despite its huge usage metrics, being spotlighted in Phantom’s trending tokens is a way to break into the consciousness of DeFi traders and retail users who haven’t touched TRON before.

Conclusion: A New Era of Cross-Chain Collaboration

The impending integration of TRON into Solana’s Phantom wallet signals a notable shift toward cross-chain unity in the crypto world. What once might have been a fierce rivalry (TRON vs Solana for users and liquidity) is evolving into a collaboration that could amplify both ecosystems.

Phantom’s 15M-strong user base represents a treasure trove of potential for TRON – exposure on a scale that could dramatically accelerate TRON’s meme coin season, DeFi usage, and overall adoption. Meanwhile, Solana users stand to gain seamless access to one of the industry’s most liquid and active networks, all without leaving the comfort of their established wallet.

If TRON does receive a dedicated integration rollout in Phantom, the immediate onboarding of millions of users is not hyperbole but a likely outcome. TRON’s flagship dApps – from SunSwap’s DeFi pools to SunPump’s meme launches and APENFT’s marketplace – could soon find real estate in the Phantom UI, effectively exporting TRON’s culture and opportunities into new markets. Trending token charts on Phantom may well start featuring TRON assets, potentially igniting curiosity and capital flows that reinforce TRON’s recent momentum.

As the integration rolls out, both Solana and TRON users should keep a balanced perspective: embrace the opportunities (new markets, more exposure, diversified risk), but remain mindful of the risks (stay informed on how cross-chain features work and practice good security). With that approach, the collaboration could indeed mark the start of a new chapter where top blockchain networks work hand-in-hand. The bottom line: Solana’s Phantom and TRON joining forces could energise markets, foster innovation, and ultimately bring us closer to a seamlessly connected multi-chain future – a development in which everyone stands to gain.

Nice read, but you may wanna revoke access occasionally to random sites if that’s your wallet, I see airdrops like paws :paw_prints: there, this is just a precaution to be on the safe side.

Cheers for the heads up! Appreciate looking out for a fellow TRONic.
The page with all the sites are just the “trending” dapps so everyone sees them - opposed to the ones the wallet is actually connected to. Shouldn’t be any issues with security as this is an old wallet that is no longer used - so they wouldn’t get anything anyway.

Yeah it could be great if TRON ecosystem is integrated into the phantom wallet. But from the current announcements by Justin Sun it seems that TRX will be issued on Solana blockchain and that is about that. Lets see how this goes. Hoping for the best !

I think with the recent announcement about Tron being on the Solana Blockchain that the possibility is high that we will see trx on phantom

I clearly get that, cheers :clinking_glasses:

Yeah it’s all speculation for the moment but I can’t help but think - why would they go to all the trouble of integrating more with SOL but stop short of Phantom.

I reckon there’s been some kind of remittance-related agreement tied to TRON’s USDT dominance. Something like, “we’ll give you deeper liquidity if you open the door for better integration on your chain.” Feels like a strategic move to expand reach without losing grip on volume.

I think we’re one and the same, I got alot of stuffs clogging my memory so bad that I literally forget stuffs I’ve planned out to do/say, it just hits me randomly later, so I cultivated a habit of writing down everything, using an organizer, setting up schedules/reminder on Google Calendar, using Click up, etc.

Hehe it’s a good :blush: it’s beginning to roll down :backhand_index_pointing_down:
