Calling all Solana fans! We have added new and improved features on our desktop platform to provide you with a comprehensive DeFi experience.

Connecting your Solana wallet to Krystal

You are now able to connect your Phantom Wallet to our platform.

We currently only support Solana wallets via Phantom. You would not be able to connect other Solana wallets from platforms like Coinbase, Trust, or Ledger. You can instead import your private key or seed phrase to Phantom, then connect it to Krystal.

New portfolio tracking feature

After you have connected your Phantom Wallet, you can view your entire Solana portfolio on Krystal, including tokens and NFTs.

New swap integration

We have integrated with Jupiter (a swap aggregator on Solana) so that you can swap between any 2 tokens on the Solana network.

Don’t forget that you’ll need a small amount of SOL in your Phantom wallet to perform any swaps. This will be used as gas fees, which you can find out more about in our article here.

Send your tokens to any wallet

You can also send tokens on the Solana network from Phantom to any other wallet.

Solana is not an EVM-compatible network, so the wallet address format is different from EVM-compatible networks like Ethereum or the BNB Smart Chain.

Final thoughts

We’re looking to add even more features on the Solana network to give you the best DeFi experience.

Stay tuned as we add Earn, Multi-Send and Bridge to our platform.

If you don’t have a Solana wallet, you can create a wallet on our Krystal mobile app. You will be creating a Multi-Chain wallet, which supports both the Solana network and 10 other EVM-compatible networks, including Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain or Polygon.
