The Short, Direct Answer You cannot use MetaMask to interact with the Phantom wallet's primary blockchain, Solana. They are built for completely different, incompatible networks. MetaMask is built for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche C-Chain, BNB Smart Chain, etc.). Phantom is built primarily for the Solana blockchain.
They are like two different operating systems (Windows vs. macOS) – an app made for one won't run on the other.
The Workaround: Using MetaMask on Phantom-Supported EVM ChainsPhantom wallet has expanded to support some EVM-compatible chains. This is where the connection happens. You can use your MetaMask wallet on the same EVM networks that Phantom also supports. Here’s how to set it up: Step 1: Find Your MetaMask Private KeyThis is the secret key to your wallet. Never share this with anyone you don't trust explicitly. Open your MetaMask extension. Click on the account icon (circle) in the top right and select Settings. Go to Advanced. Scroll down and click Show private key. Enter your password to reveal it. Copy it carefully.
⚠️ Security Warning: You are exposing your private key. Only import it into a trusted wallet like Phantom. Never type it into a random website or give it to "support" who DMs you.
Step 2: Import the Key into PhantomOpen the Phantom wallet extension. If you already have a Solana wallet, click the profile icon in the bottom left. Go to Settings. Scroll down and click Add/Connect Wallet. Select Import Private Key. Paste the private key you copied from MetaMask. Phantom will import the wallet. You will now see it as an option when you switch wallets within Phantom.
Step 3: Switch to an EVM Network in PhantomNow that your Ethereum wallet is in Phantom, you need to tell Phantom to use an EVM network. At the top of the Phantom wallet, you will see the current network (e.g., "Solana Mainnet"). Click on it. A dropdown will appear. Select an EVM network like Ethereum, Polygon, or Arbitrum. Your wallet balance and assets (like ETH, MATIC, or ERC-20 tokens) from MetaMask will now be visible and usable within Phantom.
What you've done: You have taken an Ethereum wallet (from MetaMask) and are now accessing it through the Phantom interface on an Ethereum-compatible network. The funds are on the blockchain, not in the wallet. The wallet is just a key to access them.
The Better, More Secure Alternative: Use a BridgeIf your goal is to get assets from an EVM chain (where you use MetaMask) to the Solana chain (where you use Phantom), you need to use a cross-chain bridge. This process converts the asset from one chain to its representation on another chain. Example: Sending USDC from MetaMask (Polygon) to Phantom (Solana) Hold USDC on Polygon in your MetaMask wallet. Go to a bridge. Popular bridges for Solana include: Connect both wallets: Select the asset and amount. Choose USDC and the amount you want to send. Start the bridge. You will approve transactions in both MetaMask and Phantom. The bridge will lock your USDC on Polygon and mint new USDC (SPL version) on Solana into your Phantom wallet. Wait for confirmation. This can take a few minutes.
Quick Comparison: MetaMask vs. Phantom
Feature MetaMask Phantom (on Solana)
Primary ChainEthereum & EVM-chains (Polygon, etc.)Solana
Key TechnologyEthereum Virtual Machine (EVM)Sealevel Runtime
Transaction SpeedSlower (seconds to minutes)Very Fast (sub-seconds)
Transaction FeesHigher, paid in native gas (ETH, MATIC)Very Low, paid in native gas (SOL)
NFT SupportYes (ERC-721 standard)Yes (Metaplex standard)
SummaryNo Direct Use: You cannot use the MetaMask extension on the Solana network. Importing a Wallet: You can import your MetaMask Ethereum wallet into Phantom to manage your EVM assets within the Phantom app on EVM networks. Moving Assets Between Chains: To get assets from an EVM chain (MetaMask) to Solana (Phantom), you must use a cross-chain bridge.
I hope this clears up the confusion! Always prioritize security when handling private keys.
