Phantom vs Backpack: official install paths

Two Solana extensions, two IDs. This page is not a TVL debate — it is how not to install a third ghost-icon clone.

Comparisons · 7 min · Updated Jul 2026 · Expert

Phantom vs Backpack comes down to two official sites and two Chrome IDs: Phantom bfnaelmomeimhlpmgjnjophhpkkoljpa from phantom.app, Backpack aflkmfhebedbjioipglgcbcmnbpgliof from backpack.app.

Solflare is a third product we do not catalog here. If your file is Phantom or Backpack, hash it with the matching preset. Do not install a “Solana Wallet Pro” that is neither.

Do this now

  1. Open the vendor site you mean. Phantom: phantom.app. Backpack: backpack.app. Type them. Ads for “Phantom Backpack combo” are not a product.
  2. Confirm that brand’s ID, then hash. Default verifier preset is phantom_chrome. Switch to a Backpack catalog row if the file is Backpack’s build.
  3. Connect hardware if the balance is real. Both are hot wallets. The vs-page does not make a hot wallet into a cold one.

xNFT / “in-wallet app” prompts are still signatures. A real Backpack or Phantom will not need your seed to “enable xNFTs.”

What this Solana vs page cannot do

It cannot rank NFT marketplaces. It cannot detect a malicious token program. It identifies which extension listing you are allowed to install.

WalletGuard does not simulate Solana transactions.

Frequently asked questions

What is the official Phantom Chrome ID vs Backpack?

Phantom is bfnaelmomeimhlpmgjnjophhpkkoljpa. Backpack is aflkmfhebedbjioipglgcbcmnbpgliof. If the ID is neither, it is not those products.

Should Solana users install both?

Only if you have a reason. Each extra extension is another phishing surface. Verify whichever you install.

Where is Solflare on this page?

Solflare is not in the WalletGuard catalog, so we do not publish a hash preset for it. We will not fake a comparison table with invented Solflare checksums.
