How to send a transfer from Phantom
How to send a transfer from Phantom to complete a test-transfer wallet verification — and match the Solana or EVM network so funds aren't lost.
Sending from Phantom completes a test-transfer verification or moves funds generally. The steps are the same for a tiny dust amount and a larger transfer — but the network you pick matters more in a multi-chain wallet.
Steps
- Open Phantom and select the asset holding your funds. Note which network it's on (Solana vs. an EVM chain).
- Tap Send.
- Paste the destination address and verify the first and last characters.
- Confirm the network matches the destination address. A Solana address and a
0xaddress are not interchangeable. - Enter the amount — very small for a verification test transfer.
- Review the fee. On Solana, fees are tiny and finality is typically near-instant; on EVM chains, fees vary with congestion.
- Confirm, then track the transaction until it's finalized.
Avoiding mistakes
- Wrong network is the top way funds are lost. Solana funds must go to a Solana address; EVM funds to a
0xaddress. Phantom holds both, so double-check. - On Solana, sending a token may involve creating the recipient's token account; this is normal and costs a tiny rent amount.
- Solana confirms in seconds in normal conditions; verification completes once the transfer finalizes on-chain.
