what's Tangem?

Tangem is a hardware wallet solution designed for secure storage and management of cryptocurrencies. It features a card-shaped device that uses NFC technology to interact with mobile phones, eliminating the need for batteries, cables, or screens. Private keys are generated directly on the chip during activation and never leave the device, providing robust protection against hacks and physical tampering. The wallet supports over 13,000 tokens across 70+ blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ERC-20 assets, allowing users to store, send, receive, and interact with DeFi and NFTs seamlessly. The system's security is enhanced by its EAL6+ certified chip, audited by leading firms like Kudelski Security and Riscure. Tangem offers backup options through multiple cards or a ring variant, ensuring recovery without traditional seed phrases if desired. Users access the wallet via a dedicated app for iOS and Android, enabling easy transactions by simply tapping the card to the phone. This approach combines the convenience of hot wallets with cold storage security, making it accessible for both beginners and advanced users. Tangem emphasizes self-custody and portability, with products available in packs for redundancy. It integrates buying and selling crypto directly in the app using fiat on-ramps like Apple Pay, while maintaining offline key storage to mitigate online risks.
