How Tangem works

1. Connect your smartphone

Simply hold the card to your phone to use the Tangem Wallet.

2. Wallet activation takes less than 3 minutes

During activation, the built-in chip generates a random private key that ensures the security of the wallet. A Tangem Wallet set contains up to three identical cards, similar to three identical keys for your room door.

3. Use the Tangem app

You can manage your cryptocurrencies with the Tangem app. Swap, buy, sell and more.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a hardware wallet?

The main advantage of a hardware crypto wallet is its enhanced security. As the private keys are stored offline in the device, it is less vulnerable to hacking or malware that could potentially compromise your computer. This reduces the risk of losing your digital assets through theft or fraud. Another big advantage is complete independence. Your keys are yours, and you can use your cryptocurrencies at any time without the consent of a third party.

What distinguishes Tangem Wallet from other cold wallets?

The focus is on simplicity and security.

With your Tangem wallet, you always have everything to hand. You never have to charge it or connect it with a cable. The cards fit easily in your wallet alongside other credit cards, allowing you to sign transactions anywhere. Using the Tangem wallet is child's play: simply hold the card to your phone to access your cryptos. The card is not only practical, but also offers the same security as a biometric passport thanks to its EAL6+ certified chip. In short, Tangem wallets are unconditionally secure and meet the security and ease of use requirements for both beginners and experts alike.

Will third parties have access to the wallet if my Tangem Wallet card is stolen?

Your personal access code protects your wallet from unauthorized access by third parties and brute force attacks.

Can I use Seed Phrase in the Tangem Wallet?

The use of a seed phrase is optional. In the new Tangem Wallet, keys can be generated in three ways:

  1. By using the certified True Random Number Generator (TRNG), which generates and stores the keys in the card chip. These keys are only available on your Tangem card, neither Tangem nor anyone else knows them, and no copies exist outside your Tangem cards (recommended).
  2. Generate a seed phrase via the Tangem app and then import it into the card.
  3. Import your seed phrase from another wallet.
Unlike the keys generated by the card, seed phrases can be copied and stolen. You can find more information about the Seedphrase technology and our opinion on it here.

What happens if my phone is lost or suddenly breaks down?

You can use your card to access your wallet from another mobile device. All you need to do is download the Tangem app on another phone and scan your Tangem cards.
Remember that your phone doesn't store any sensitive information; it's just a screen that provides the wallet's user interface for easy access. You can use the Tangem wallet on two or more phones; the number doesn't matter as your wallet's private keys are stored in the card's chip.
