Phantom will end support for the Sui network on September 24, 2026, after which users will no longer be able to view, send, swap or interact with Sui assets through the wallet. The company said the assets themselves will not be lost because they remain on the Sui blockchain and can still be accessed through another compatible wallet using the same recovery credentials.
Users who want to remain on Phantom can swap native SUI for supported assets before the transition date. Phantom is waiving its fee on cross-chain swaps from native SUI to wrapped SUI on Solana until September 24, although network and exchange fees still apply. Users who want to continue holding native Sui assets can instead import their wallet into a compatible Sui wallet, with Phantom pointing users toward Slush, the Sui Foundation’s recommended wallet.
The change affects more than just the ability to see a token balance. After September 24, Sui will disappear from Phantom’s supported network list, Sui transactions will stop working and applications previously connected through Phantom on Sui will need to be reconnected through another wallet. Phantom stressed that it will never contact users asking for recovery phrases or private keys, a warning that becomes particularly relevant during a wallet migration.
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.
Your funds remain safe and fully under your control. Before 9/24, you can move your wallet to another app that supports Sui,…

Why are crypto wallets dropping network support?
Wallets are dropping some network integrations because supporting a blockchain comes with ongoing technical and security costs, and not every network generates enough activity to justify them. Each integration requires maintenance of transaction infrastructure, security systems, asset indexing and compatibility with decentralised applications. As wallets add more chains, they also have to decide which networks are worth continuing to support.
Trust Wallet, for example, has announced plans to end support for Agoric, Aurora, Boba, BounceBit, Conflux and Decred from September 15, citing efforts to improve product efficiency. Coinbase’s Base App also dropped support for networks including Dogecoin, Litecoin and zkSync Era, directing users holding those assets to other wallets. These decisions do not mean the affected blockchains have stopped operating. Instead, the wallet removes its own infrastructure and interface for interacting with those networks.
For Sui users, that means the blockchain remains available, but Phantom will no longer be the gateway through which they access it after September 24. The immediate question is therefore not whether the network can function without Phantom, but how effectively competing wallets can absorb users who now need another way to access the ecosystem.

Users debate whether Phantom’s Sui exit is a sign that its multi-chain strategy is changing
Phantom’s decision has prompted a different conversation among users about whether the wallet is becoming more selective about the networks it supports rather than simply expanding its multi-chain footprint. Some users have pointed to the timing of the Sui decision alongside Phantom’s earlier exit from Monad, arguing that the pattern could show tighter requirements for maintaining individual blockchain integrations. Others are less concerned, noting that alternative wallets already provide access to Sui and that switching providers is relatively straightforward for self-custody users.
There is also a more speculative angle emerging from the community. One user pointed out that MON rose by more than 50% after Phantom ended Monad support, joking that SUI could experience a similar reaction. There is no evidence that Phantom’s decision caused that rally, but the comparison shows an important distinction of how removing wallet support does not necessarily weaken a blockchain itself. Network activity, developers, applications, and liquidity can continue through other wallets even when a major interface exits.
Users are also pointing to wallets such as KriptoK, which supports Sui alongside 11 other networks, as alternatives for people who do not want to leave the ecosystem. Others are weighing established options such as Slush and Solflare.
Meanwhile, Phantom expanded its capabilities through the acquisition of Solsniper, a rapidly growing meme coin trading platform on Solana. This move strategically positions Phantom to offer enhanced trading experiences and deeper engagement with the vibrant meme coin community that continues to thrive within the Solana ecosystem.
