" summary

Phantom plans to evolve from a wallet into a full consumer finance platform built on Solana, reporting 17 million MAU at peak (5x year over year, 28x post‑FTX low) and claiming Solana apps generated over 50% of DApp revenue last week. Concrete moves include removing seed phrases, adding usernames, acquired SimpleHash for token verification, building transaction simulation and one‑on‑one support, and launching a feed tab plus push notifications for social discovery and growth.
