Quick Facts
- Phantom’s wallet initially displayed a delay of around 15-30 minutes for new token additions due to the way it syncs with the blockchain.
- This delay was caused by Phantom’s reliance on a third-party service to fetch token data, rather than directly querying the blockchain.

- Phantom is actively working on improving this feature and reducing the delay, aiming to display new tokens near-real-time.
- In the meantime, users can try refreshing their wallet or waiting a few minutes for new tokens to appear.
- Phantom recommends users to keep their wallet running in the background to minimize the delay and ensure timely updates.
- New tokens may not appear immediately if Phantom’s servers are experiencing high traffic or maintenance.
- Phantom is working on implementing a direct blockchain query to improve token data fetching and reduce delays in the future.
- User data and token information are decentralized and stored on the blockchain, ensuring maximum security and transparency.
- Phantom’s team is committed to continually improving the user experience, and users can expect future updates to address this and other issues.
