Each transaction appears instantly under the “Activity” tab. Phantom securely indexes your transaction hash, which you can review on Solscan for transparency.
One of the best features of Phantom is its built-in **staking feature**. You can stake SOL directly and earn rewards automatically every epoch (around 2–3 days).
