Hi tobeaj2mer01,
it depends on what you mean by related.
Phantom is SHIFT's implementation of Zeronet. Phantom is able to interact with Zeronet, but Phantom is more than Zeronet. It will have its own DNS, that means instead of using account addresses to access sites, you will be able to create a domain name like mydomain.shift, which is more memorizable by humans. And since SHIFT is a cryptocurrency and Dapp platform, it will allow an entire ecosystem to be created.
An image can help you get it more easily, even if it's not 100% accurate.
Now you're interested in an ICO, but instead, you can invest in SHIFT simply by buying on the market! And it's actually the best time to buy because we're at a few days of our first release of Phantom!
Our two biggests exchanges right now are Bittrex and Livecoin.
