Phantom Wallet

What is Phantom?

Phantom is a browser extension and mobile app that lets you interact with the Solana blockchain. Think of it like a digital wallet — it holds your tokens (like USDC) and lets you sign transactions.

Why does Turf Monster use it?

Turf Monster runs contest entries and payouts on the Solana blockchain for transparency. When you enter a contest with Phantom:

  • Your entry fee is held in a smart contract escrow (not our bank account)
  • Payouts are distributed automatically by the contract
  • Every transaction is publicly verifiable on-chain

Is Phantom required?

No. You can play Turf Monster without Phantom. When you sign up with email or Google, we create a managed wallet for you behind the scenes. You'll still see your balance and can enter contests normally.

Phantom is only needed if you want to:

  • Control your own private keys
  • Control USDC directly in your own wallet
  • Verify transactions on-chain yourself

Connecting Phantom

  1. Install the Phantom extension in your browser
  2. Go to your Account page on Turf Monster
  3. Click Connect Phantom Wallet
  4. Approve the connection in the Phantom popup

Once connected, contest entries will prompt Phantom for transaction signing. Your balance updates automatically after each transaction.
