Phantom Wallet Conducts An Audit Of IP Addresses

On December 7, the Phantom wallet stated on Twitter that it had conducted an audit on its handling of user IP addresses in response to the community’s recent concerns about privacy.

According to Phantom, it has been using a private proxy to remove IP addresses from RPC requests while Its RPC partners have never been able to identify users, and Phantom’s roadmap will include adding the ability to use custom RPCs. Additionally, Phantom cannot identify a specific user or tie an IP address to a wallet address. Phantom has always tracked customers in a completely anonymous manner, and users can opt-out.

The audit results showed that neither Phantom Wallet nor its RPC partners could identify user IP addresses. Moreover, Phantom states that the reference to IP addresses in the current privacy policy is primarily to explain how it uses site analytics to track behavior on the Phantom website. Besides, Phantom is rapidly updating its privacy policy to clearly distinguish between its website and wallet.

Previously, Phantom announced a collaboration with Ethereum and Polygon to improve customers’ access from Solana, in which Polygon would develop a wallet compatible with the layer-2 blockchain environment. The Ethereum and Polygon integrations were available in beta mode on the platform’s browser as well as iOS and Android apps, with a public launch planned for the first quarter of 2023.
