Introduction to Phantom Wallet

Phantom Wallet is a popular non-custodial wallet designed specifically for Solana (SOL) and other cryptocurrencies. It allows users to manage their assets securely and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) seamlessly. One of the features users often seek is the ability to hide small assets within the wallet to maintain a cleaner interface. This article will guide you through the process of hiding small assets in Phantom Wallet.

Understanding Small Assets in Phantom Wallet

In the context of Phantom Wallet, small assets refer to tokens or cryptocurrencies that have a low balance, often considered negligible by the user. Hiding these assets can help declutter the wallet's interface, making it easier to focus on more significant holdings. However, it's important to note that hiding these assets does not delete or transfer them; they remain in your wallet but are not displayed by default.

Accessing the Phantom Wallet Settings

To begin the process of hiding small assets, you need to access the settings in Phantom Wallet. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open Phantom Wallet: Launch the Phantom Wallet application on your device.
• Navigate to Settings: Click on the settings icon, usually located in the top right corner of the wallet interface.
• Select 'Manage Assets': Within the settings menu, find and select the 'Manage Assets' option.

Hiding Small Assets in Phantom Wallet

Once you are in the 'Manage Assets' section, you can proceed to hide small assets. Follow these steps:

• View All Assets: Ensure you are viewing all assets by selecting the appropriate tab or option within 'Manage Assets'.
• Identify Small Assets: Scroll through your list of assets and identify the ones you consider small or negligible.
• Toggle Visibility: Each asset should have a toggle or checkbox next to it. Click on the toggle to hide the asset. When the toggle is off, the asset will no longer appear in your main wallet view.

Setting a Threshold for Small Assets

Phantom Wallet allows you to set a threshold for what is considered a small asset. This can automate the process of hiding assets based on a specific value. Here’s how to set it up:

• Go to 'Manage Assets': As mentioned earlier, navigate to the 'Manage Assets' section in the settings.
• Find 'Hide Small Balances': Look for an option labeled 'Hide Small Balances' or something similar.
• Set a Threshold: You will see a field where you can input a numerical value. Enter the threshold amount in SOL or the relevant cryptocurrency. Any asset with a balance below this threshold will automatically be hidden.

Verifying Hidden Assets

After hiding small assets, it’s important to verify that they are no longer visible in your main wallet view but are still accessible if needed. Here’s how to do that:

• Return to Main View: Navigate back to the main wallet interface.
• Check Asset List: Scroll through your list of assets and confirm that the small assets you hid are no longer visible.
• Access Hidden Assets: To ensure they are still in your wallet, go back to the 'Manage Assets' section. You should see all assets, including the hidden ones, with their toggles off.

Managing Hidden Assets

If you need to manage or view your hidden assets at any time, you can easily do so by following these steps:

• Go to 'Manage Assets': Navigate to the 'Manage Assets' section in the settings.
• View All Assets: Ensure you are viewing all assets, including the hidden ones.
• Toggle Visibility: If you need to view a hidden asset in the main wallet view, simply toggle it back on.
