Phantom Wallet Verification Process and Blowfish Verification Method
You’ve developed your application on the Solana network and released it, but the red flag users see in Phantom Wallet can postpone all your dreams.
If your application uses the signAndSendTransaction method, Phantom will detect your app as a potential threat and show users a warning that the app could steal their funds. In such a case, users may immediately stop using your app and might never return to your site again.
The only way to remove this warning is to directly contact Blowfish, Phantom Wallet’s security partner, and begin the challenging process of “Blowfish Verification.” During this verification, they may ask for your project’s X account and a GitHub account containing your project’s source code. In addition, the project’s X account should have an established and active community. Applications without an existing community are often not included in the “Phantom Wallet Whitelisting” process.
If you think the process is complete once you provide these, you’re mistaken 🙁 Finally, they ask for an endorsement (someone to vouch for you) from a developer who is part of the Solana community. If you know an active developer on the Solana network, that person must directly contact them about your project. If the developer has contributed to active projects and created genuinely useful work for the Solana community, their endorsement is considered valid, and your application can be included in the Phantom Wallet Whitelisting program. This process with Blowfish usually takes about 3 to 5 weeks and generally results in a negative outcome. For more details on the process, you can visit https://blog.blowfish.xyz/.
Speeding Up the Phantom Blowfish Verification Process
If you want to launch your project quickly and join the Phantom Whitelist program, you can reach out to “Byte Bard”, one of the Solana developers, and get detailed information. He has played an active role in helping many projects obtain Blowfish approval, and for now, this is the fastest way to get verified.

In the future, if new methods emerge for Phantom Whitelisting, I will definitely update this article and share new solutions with you. For now, goodbye—and stay active in the Solana community!

An application that doesn’t match the speed of the Solana network. This security method is ridiculous and unfortunately delays the release of new applications! :@
Thanks to your article, I was able to reach Bard, and it secured the approval I hadn’t been able to get for weeks—in less than a day. In an ecosystem like Solana, having to depend on other people is disappointing.
Our time is going down the drain!
