FAQs

What is a hardware wallet?

A hardware wallet is a physical device used to store your cryptocurrency private keys offline, providing a high level of security against online threats like hacking and malware. The TANGEM wallet is a type of hardware wallet.

How do I back up my TANGEM wallet?

The TANGEM Wallet Set comes with three identical cards. You can set up one card as your primary wallet and the other two as backups. If you lose one card, you can access your funds using another.

Is my cryptocurrency safe if I lose a card?

Yes, as long as you have at least one other active TANGEM card from your set, you can still access your funds. The private keys are securely stored on each card.

Do I need an internet connection to use TANGEM?

You need an internet connection on your smartphone to interact with the blockchain for sending transactions or checking balances. However, your private keys, which secure your assets, remain offline on the TANGEM card.

How long does the TANGEM card last?

The TANGEM cards are designed to be highly durable and are built to last for over 25 years under normal usage conditions.

Can I use TANGEM with my computer?

The primary method of interaction is via NFC with a smartphone. While some third-party solutions might exist, TANGEM is optimized for mobile use.

What happens if the TANGEM app is discontinued?

Your private keys remain on the card, and the wallet should remain functional for accessing funds. However, compatibility with future blockchain updates or new features would depend on ongoing app support.

Troubleshooting

Card not detected by the app

Ensure NFC is enabled on your smartphone. Try tapping the card to a different location on the back of your phone. Make sure the card is clean and free from debris. Restart the TANGEM app and your phone.

Transaction failed

Verify that the cryptocurrency is supported by TANGEM and the receiving address is correct. Check your smartphone's internet connection. Ensure you have sufficient funds for the transaction and network fees.

Unable to activate a new card

Confirm you are using the official TANGEM app. Ensure your smartphone's NFC is functioning correctly. Try tapping the card to a different area of your phone. If issues persist, contact TANGEM support.

Forgotten wallet access (without backup cards)

If you have lost all your TANGEM cards and did not back up your wallet elsewhere, access to your funds may be permanently lost, as TANGEM does not store user data or recovery phrases.
