Monad said Phantom Wallet will stop supporting the Monad network on Aug. 12 and advised users to move their funds to other EVM-compatible wallets. The project listed several alternatives, including MetaMask, Rabby, Backpack, OKX Wallet, Trust Wallet, and Uniswap Wallet. Phantom had previously added support for Monad when the network’s mainnet went live in November 2025.

No additional reason for the change was provided in the announcement cited by Odaily.
