Phantom, Solana’s most widely used wallet provider, has drawn criticism from some users for charging fees on in-app token swaps.
While some disgruntled community members attacked Phantom, voices across the Solana ecosystem came to the wallet’s defence. Reigniting debate around business models in the Web3 world, Phantom’s supporters argue that the platform has a right to generate revenue.
In an industry where meme coin presales can raise over $40M , is it fair to attack businesses providing essential services for charging easily avoidable fees?
SOLANA COMMUNITY MEMBERS COMPLAIN ABOUT 0.85% SWAP FEE
Frustrated Solana users have taken to 𝕏 to air their grievances about Phantom’s in-app swap fees. The public outrage came following circulation of data suggesting that the wallet provider generated over $30M in revenue through token swaps.
Comparisons between quotes between wallets and DEX aggregator Jupiter only added further fuel to the fire. Perhaps spurred on by stagnant market conditions, commentators on social media remarked that discrepancies between swaps provided by Phantom and Jupiter were “actually ridiculous.”
Eagle-eyed users remarked that the data wasn’t wholly accurate. Galactic Geckos founder Genuine Articles highlighted that the $30M figure was lower than expected, before Fabiano.sol, the influencer who originally shared the data, acknowledged that Phantom would’ve generated over $10M through in-app token swaps in 2021 alone.
While it’s obvious that traders can access better rates by using platforms like Jupiter directly, can Wallet providers be blamed for charging fees on value-added services?
Is the Slander Against Phantom Justified?
Content creator and former Phantom team member Seb Montgomery countered the attacks levied against Phantom. Arguing that every business has operational costs that need paid, Montgomery asserted that “Dapps, apps, wallets, etc. need revenue or they close up shop, and head home.”
Hammering his points home, Montgomery reminded Solana users of their double standards. The content creator highlighted how network participants were willing to provide over $40M to the $WATER memecoin presale, but criticized an 0.8% fee on services offered by one of Solana’s longest-standing products.
“You have probably lost $1000s on the pure rubbish. So don't be a clown and not support the wallets that make it all possible.” - Seb Montgomery
Montgomery also acknowledged that Solana owes much of its success to Phantom. Paying homage to Phantom’s position as Solana’s most widely used wallet, Montgomery asserted “Without Phantom, Solana's success would not have been anywhere near where it got to.”
WHICH WALLET GIVES THE BEST VALUE ON SWAPS?
While traders and users looking for the best rates should always go directly to decentralized exchanges or aggregators, it’s also worth knowing the various in-app swap rates of different wallets.
Fuse Wallet - 0%
Solflare - 0.8%
Phantom - 0.85%
Backpack - 0.85%
It should also be noted that all Solana wallets route their trades through Jupiter. Solana’s leading DEX aggregator typically offers the best rates on trades and allows third-party apps to add fees onto swaps.
Despite some traders expressing frustration, Phantom and other wallet providers have always been transparent and forthcoming about in-app swap fees. Using wallet-based swaps is completely optional and easily bypassed. Trader’s complaints are hardly unresolved.

GlobaVTS, the volumes are significantly small on weekends. Bitcoin stood still for a day. Market makers and Whales have accumulated their positions significantly recently. Jerome Powell will give a speech on Friday next week about a possible rate cut in September. Next week, we are more than likely to see significant manipulation.
The key local movement will, of course, be the opening of the weekly candle above 60,000 today, but still let me remind you that Bitcoin is now in a pattern, and the main movement in the crypto market should be expected after the breakdown and closing above 70,000 -73,000.
the input to the exchanges exceeds the output -
14%, 1000 btc
Altcoins, a manipulation that can be all next week, I use it to enter positions on squiz. I will write the signals in the VIP channel. Altcoins have been under pressure for the last 5 months, in correction and some in flat. There is no endless correction. Just as it was with the endless growth in the medium-term pump. The reversal of the altcoin market may be quite close, and Friday the 23rd may contribute to this, depending on what we hear from the head of the US Federal Reserve.

BTC, yesterday at the meeting of the US Federal Reserve, rates were left at the same level of 5.5. The forecast was absolutely the same. But the market still didn't like this moment. Bitcoin has adjusted, but if you look at the chart, this is a healthy correction after Bitcoin's growth from the 53,000 level. The support area for this local growth is marked on the chart. So physically, the uptrend itself plays the role of support. This is a key medium-term support that cannot be lost. Now Bitcoin is trading within the framework of a medium-term model with compression from above. The key support levels on the current medium-term model are 58,000-60,000 and resistance is 70,000-73,000.
withdrawal from exchanges exceeds input - 12%, 12,500 btc
Altcoins have not yet returned to the bottom of the correction from the beginning of last month, but they are already close. Nevertheless, the average is now 0.786 fibonacci line on altcoins. The next Fed meeting is already on September 18. Theoretically and technically, altcoins on average have setups that will be ready by August 10-20. In fact, if all the data of the US economy are such that will lead to a subsequent reduction in the % rate, we will see the beginning of growth. Of course it's only a matter of time! Many altcoins are from the top100, I'm not talking about shield coins in the 10000 place right now. We are talking about normal altcoins. Which are at their bottom of the crypto winter, and their growth is a matter of time! Weak paper hands will leave this market with nothing. The strong ones will take the profit!
