How to Enable Bitcoin on Phantom
Bitcoin support is opt-in during its initial phase, giving users full control over their experience. If you're ready to dive in, follow these simple steps:
- Open your Phantom wallet (mobile or browser extension).
- Navigate to Settings.
- Select Active Networks.
- Toggle Bitcoin to enable it.
Once activated, your wallet will display BTC balances, Ordinals, and BRC-20 tokens. If you're importing a Bitcoin-only recovery phrase, remember: assets won’t appear until Bitcoin is enabled in settings.
Enabling Taproot for Enhanced Functionality
Phantom supports both Native SegWit (default) and Taproot, offering flexibility in how you receive and manage funds. Taproot improves privacy, efficiency, and enables advanced smart contract capabilities on Bitcoin.
To activate Taproot:
- Open Phantom.
- Go to Settings > Preferences.
- Tap Preferred Bitcoin Address.
- Switch to Taproot.
You can switch back at any time—your balances remain intact across address types.
