<p>According to the official notes, the browser extension, the Phantom mobile app, and the website are operational, along with the external dependencies.</p> 
<p>The issue occurred earlier today, less than 2 hours ago, and according to Phantom’s monitoring system, the Service Phantom Backend seems to be down, and it became unresponsive.</p> 
<p>The backend downtime came following the live launch of Grass Airdrop.</p> 
<h2 id="grass-airdrop-triggered-phantom-wallet-downtime">GRASS Airdrop Triggered Phantom Wallet Downtime</h2> 
<p>The <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/grass/">GRASS</a> Airdrop went live about an hour ago, according to official data shared via X, and the token was listed on important changes including KuCoin, Bitget, Bybit, Gate.io, and more.</p> 
<p>The Grass network <a href="https://x.com/grassfdn/status/1850885392943423876" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">went live</a> earlier, and according to the Grass Foundation, the claiming window for GRASS <a href="https://x.com/grassfdn/status/1850885406038151301" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">will end</a> on January 15, 2025.</p> 
<p>The airdrop was announced back in September, with 2 million active users set to receive tokens. The network is powered by over 3 million users running nodes to scrape petabytes of data for AI models.</p> 
<p>Grass is a Solana-based AI data layer and the project’s airdrop was a stress test for Phantom’s stability.</p> 
<p>Despite the wallet’s issues, the Solana network continues to <a href="https://status.solana.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">function normally</a>, handling the increased load without interruptions.</p>
