Key Takeaways:
Phantom will end Sui support Sept. 24, 2026, cutting in-app access to SUI balances, swaps, and dApps roughly 20 months after adding native integration.
"Phantom and Sui have decided to end Sui support on Phantom on September 24, and leave open the opportunity to explore other collaborations in the future," the wallet's official support notice said.
Users have two migration paths before the deadline. They can swap SUI for SOL, ETH, or USDC within Phantom, with the wallet waiving its own cross-chain swap fee through Sept. 24. Or they can import their recovery phrase into a compatible wallet such as Suiet, the official Sui Wallet, or Slush — the wallet Phantom recommends. Network and exchange fees still apply to swaps.
The withdrawal reverses Phantom's January 2025 expansion into Sui, the first blockchain based on the Move programming language the wallet supported. Applications including Suilend, Bluefin, Navi, and Aftermath will lose Phantom connections, and users who take no action can restore access later by importing credentials into a compatible Sui wallet.
Phantom will remove Sui from its supported network list, stop displaying SUI balances, and terminate transaction tools and application connections when the transition takes effect. The change will not transfer, delete, or convert assets automatically.
Wrapped SUI on Solana is not native SUI. It is a Solana-based token representing SUI transferred through cross-chain infrastructure. Holders should verify the receiving network and token contract before approving a transaction.
Users with additional recovery phrases or separately imported private keys must transfer each set individually. The same Sui address and assets should appear after the wallet is restored with the correct credentials.
Phantom warned that it will never contact users first, request a recovery phrase, or offer to move assets on their behalf. Anyone providing unsolicited migration assistance should be treated as a potential scammer. Wallet transitions often create opportunities for phishing campaigns — scammers can imitate support accounts, distribute fake wallet applications, or direct users to websites that capture recovery phrases.
The move is part of Phantom's broader strategy to streamline its network offerings after previously expanding to multiple blockchains including Ethereum and Bitcoin. For Sui, the withdrawal reduces retail accessibility through one of the most widely used non-custodial wallets in crypto, potentially pushing users toward Sui-native wallets and shifting where Sui DeFi activity concentrates.
The main deadline applies to in-app functionality and Phantom's swap fee waiver, not asset ownership. Holders who want to swap inside Phantom or verify their migration should complete those steps before Sept. 24.
