Phantom, the leading wallet on Solana, acquires the platform Solsniper, specialized in advanced trading and memecoin, effectively integrating the decentralized ecosystem under one roof.
What is Solsniper and why did Phantom decide to acquire it?
Solsniper was born as a sniping and trading platform for Solana assets, focused on ultra-fast swaps on new memecoin, NFTs, and emerging tokens. Thanks to features like limit order, watchlist, social tracking, and advanced searches, it was already considered a “must-have” tool for those operating in DeFi and speculative trading in the Solana world.
The acquisition, confirmed in the blog post by Phantom and on the official X account, fits into the wallet’s strategy of offering “all-in-one” services. Brandon Millman, CEO of Phantom, emphasizes how the mission is “to make trading, exploration, and management of digital assets simpler than ever, with an unprecedented level of customization”.

What changes for Solana and Bitcoin users?
From the start, the over 7 million users of Phantom can expect new native features in the wallet, including:
- Direct trading of memecoin and NFTs without leaving the Phantom interface
- Management of limit orders and swaps on all major DEX of Solana
- New dashboards for tracking, “whale watching” (monitoring top portfolios), and social metrics
- Integration with Bitcoin for multichain swap and holding, expanding the “non-custodial” strategy beyond Solana
The advantage? The ecosystem will no longer require external steps for sniping new tokens, airdrops, or NFT trend analysis. Everything will be manageable from the Phantom dashboard, with professional tools, without the learning curve of “pure” DeFi platforms.
With what timelines and roadmap?
The acquisition has been official since August 4, 2025. Phantom has already started integrating the main features of Solsniper such as the watchlist and on-chain trading. According to the team, the roadmap includes:
- Integration of “sniper” functionality by the end of Q3 2025
- Platform test with invite-only beta
- Public launch of tools for tracking social and “whale” portfolios in Q4

The community can follow the updates in real-time through the @phantom channel on Telegram, where steps, feedback, and alpha leaks on new releases are announced. Note: no airdrop planned for now.
What are the consequences on DeFi and Solana assets?
This move by Phantom pushes interoperability between memecoin, NFT, and main assets like Bitcoin within reach of retail users and power users, without the need for external tools or complex interfaces. Solana becomes the first chain, according to Defi Bitcoin News analysts, “to offer advanced DeFi trading, NFT experience, and real-time sniping directly from a mainstream wallet.”
The consequences in the short term:
- Increase in fees on Solana, anticipated by traders given the expected volumes
- Multiplication of bot and smart money operating on the new Solana gems
- “Stickiness” effect on the Phantom ecosystem: less abandonment towards competing wallets or DEX
- Bitcoin integrated into the workflow, with direct swaps to Solana without centralized steps
Are there risks or warnings for the community?
As with every radical upgrade, Phantom warns its users about possible service overloads and risks of front-running by bots in the early stages. Maximum attention is advised to fake links, phishing on X (already reported), and unofficial Telegram groups.
Watch out for dynamic fees as well: during hype moments for memecoin, costs can rise quickly. Remember that swaps can expose you to high slippage and that “limit orders” remain on-chain, with the possibility of non-execution if extreme volatility occurs.
How to participate and which tools will be available?
Those who use Phantom will not need to download other apps: all the key functions of Solsniper will be progressively implemented starting this summer. To enter the beta, it is sufficient to follow the official channels and apply on the Phantom portal.
Will be enabled:
- Instant spot trades on DEX Solana and NFT marketplace
- Advanced portfolio tracking, with alerts on whale moves
- Research tool, memecoin sniping, and favorites
- Social statistics, trend analysis, and chain-specific charts
The goal is to offer crypto users, from the novice to the pro-trader, real-time access to both memecoins and established assets like Bitcoin, in complete non-custodial security.
Impact, prospects, and what happens now
This merger positions Phantom not only as the leading wallet on Solana, but as a true hub for cross-chain trading and holding between Bitcoin, DeFi, and NFT. The integration with Solsniper could pave the way for new “sniper” strategies for emerging and established assets.
With over 7 million wallets already ready and a public roadmap looking towards 2025, the future of DeFi and memecoin trading on Solana and Bitcoin now passes through Phantom. Everything can change in the coming weeks: stay updated on Telegram and X to not miss the next developments.
