How do I view NFT property details in Phantom?

Accessing NFT Metadata in Phantom Wallet

1. Open the Phantom wallet application on your preferred device, whether it’s a desktop browser extension or mobile app. Ensure you’re logged into the correct wallet address where the NFT is stored.

2. Navigate to the “NFTs” tab located within the main interface. This section automatically displays all non-fungible tokens associated with your connected Solana wallet address.

3. Click on the specific NFT you wish to inspect. Selecting the asset will open a detailed preview, including its image, name, and collection information.

4. Look for an option labeled “View on Explorer” or a similar link. This redirects to a blockchain explorer such as Solscan or Solana FM, where comprehensive token metadata is publicly recorded.

5. On the explorer page, review key details like mint address, ownership history, token standard (e.g., Metaplex), and any embedded attributes or properties defined by the creator.

Verifying Ownership and Authenticity

1. Confirm that the NFT appears under your wallet’s asset list in Phantom. The presence alone does not guarantee legitimacy, so further verification is essential.

2. Cross-check the mint address shown in Phantom with the official contract address published by the NFT project. Discrepancies may indicate counterfeit assets.

3. Use the blockchain explorer to trace the transaction history. Legitimate NFTs typically have a clear transfer trail originating from verified drop contracts.

4. Inspect the creators' field on the metadata page. Official collections list recognized team wallets; unknown or anonymous creators raise red flags.

5. Check if the NFT has been flagged for duplication or fraud on community-driven platforms like AlphaGems or Solana Beach.

Understanding NFT Attributes and Traits

1. After opening the NFT in Phantom, tap the info icon or expand the details panel to reveal trait breakdowns. These include rarity scores, category types, and individual characteristics.

2. Each trait is usually categorized under headings such as Background, Clothing, Eyes, or Accessories. Their values contribute to overall scarcity rankings within the collection.

3. Compare trait frequencies using external analytics tools linked from the explorer page. Some marketplaces integrate this data directly into their listings.

4. Be aware that trait descriptions are part of the JSON metadata hosted off-chain. While the hash is secured on Solana, the content can be altered if centralized hosting is used.

5. For maximum transparency, verify whether the metadata URI points to decentralized storage like Arweave or IPFS. Persistent links ensure long-term accessibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Phantom display hidden NFT features before mint reveal?Phantom only shows visible metadata once it's been written to the blockchain. Pre-reveal traits remain inaccessible until the collection’s flip event occurs and updated data propagates across nodes.

Why doesn’t my NFT show up in Phantom even though I own it?This often happens when the wallet isn’t set to display low-value or suspected spam tokens. Adjust visibility settings under preferences or confirm the mint address matches your balance on-chain.

Is it safe to share my NFT property details from Phantom?Sharing public metadata poses minimal risk since it's already recorded on a transparent ledger. Avoid disclosing seed phrases or signing unauthorized transactions when prompted by third-party sites.

How do I export NFT metadata from Phantom?Phantom does not support direct exports. Retrieve the metadata manually via the explorer link, then save the JSON response from the provided URI using developer tools or cURL commands.
