Why Choose ChainATM Over Phantom?
Natural language, not forms
Phantom uses traditional wallet UI — pick a token, pick a network, fill out a form. ChainATM lets you type or speak what you want in plain language.
Voice on iOS
Phantom has no voice interface. ChainATM is the only major crypto wallet with voice commands on iOS.
0% on USDC and EURC
Buying USDC or EURC with fiat is free of provider and transaction fees on ChainATM. With Phantom, fiat onramps go through MoonPay or similar partners — typically 1–4.5%.
Cross-chain in one command
ChainATM bridges and swaps across chains in a single command via LI.FI. Cross-chain bridging is limited or requires switching to external bridges.
