Tangem

Tangem is a high-tech hardware wallet that radically simplifies crypto custody by using a card-shaped device with an NFC chip.

The card is durable, waterproof, and fits in a standard wallet.

Tangem focuses on user experience and mass adoption, making cold storage feel as easy as using a credit card. They offer an affiliate program where influencers can earn commissions by selling card packs. It is a legitimate Swiss-based company that has sold over a million wallets, partnering with major crypto brands like Shiba Inu and TRON.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. specific battery requirement?

No, Tangem cards do not contain a battery and do not need to be charged. They operate using NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, drawing the tiny amount of power needed from your smartphone during the tap interaction. This ensures the card can last for decades without maintenance.

2. How do I back up my wallet?

Tangem wallets are typically sold in packs of 2 or 3 cards. During setup, the private key is generated and cloned securely across all cards in the pack; the backup cards are then stored in safe places. If you lose your main card, you can use one of the backup cards to access your funds.

3. Can I use a seed phrase?

Originally, Tangem did not support seed phrases to prioritize simplicity, but due to user demand, they updated their firmware to allow optional seed phrase generation. You can now choose to generate a standard 12 or 24-word seed phrase during the setup process if you prefer traditional backups.

4. specific affiliate commission?

Tangem's affiliate program offers a commission of 10% on every sale made using your unique promo code or link. Additionally, your audience receives a discount (usually 10%) when using your code, which helps increase conversion rates. Payouts are typically made in USDT.

5. Is it safe?

Yes, Tangem cards use an EAL6+ certified secure element chip, which is the same level of security used in passports and credit cards. The firmware has been audited by Kudelski Security, and the card is designed to be tamper-proof against physical attacks.
