Brave Wallet detection

Compatibility with Phantom​

Since Brave Wallet aims to be compatible with Phantom's exposed API, we set window.braveSolana.isPhantom to true. Also window.solana is an alias of window.braveSolana.

No provider until a wallet is created​

Starting in Brave 1.95, window.braveSolana (and its window.solana alias) is undefined until the user has created a Brave Wallet, and a site has no way to prompt them to create one. A missing provider therefore means "no wallet created yet", not "not Brave" — see restrictions for providers.

Synchronous detection​

const isBraveWallet = window.braveSolana?.isBraveWallet === true
console.log('Brave Wallet: ', isBraveWallet)

Wallet adapter​

Brave Wallet has its own BraveWalletAdapter and also compatible with PhantomWalletAdapter. Examples can be found here.

Here is how to add Brave Wallet into example code
