Solflare Brings Perpetuals Directly Into the Wallet — With Phoenix's On-Chain Orderbook
Solflare has shipped perpetual futures natively in its mobile wallet, settled via PhoenixTrade's on-chain orderbook. More than 65 markets can be traded long or short — without leaving the wallet.
Update (21 October 2026): Phoenix is set to be shut down
On 20 October, Imperial announced on X that it is shutting Phoenix down. The post names no date. The wording is in the report on the announcement.
What Happened
Solflare has shipped perpetual futures directly in the wallet — mobile, settled via PhoenixTrade’s on-chain orderbook. Users can go long or short on more than 65 markets without holding the underlying asset and without leaving the wallet for an external trading app; settlement stays on Solana.
What Shifts With This
The wallet category is visibly working its way from custody tool to trading interface: Solflare recently built bridge onboarding with fixed deposit addresses, Phantom and Backpack keep expanding their surfaces — and now leveraged derivatives arrive natively in the mobile wallet. The difference from the centralized variant: the orderbook lives on-chain, custody stays with the user.
The other side belongs in the same paragraph: perpetuals are leveraged derivatives — liquidations on price moves are part of the mechanics, and a trading interface in the everyday wallet lowers the threshold for users these products aren’t meant for.
Perpetual futures are leveraged, high-risk products.
What to Watch
- How volume and orderbook depth of the wallet perps develop
- Whether other wallets follow with their own perps integrations
- How Solflare implements risk notices and protections in the interface
