Tap your card

Secure your backup

Get the official Tangem application from the App Store or Google Play to begin your secure onboarding.

Hold your physical card against the back of your phone. The NFC antenna connects and reads the chip instantly.

Link your secondary backup cards to clone your private keys. Store them safely to ensure seedless recovery.

Zero Trust Backup

Secure recovery without paper

Traditional crypto wallets force you to write down vulnerable seed phrases on paper. Tangem replaces this weakness by using your secondary cards as cryptographic backups.

EAL6+ Chip Security

During setup, the EAL6+ military-grade chip clones your private keys directly onto your backup cards. Your keys never leave the hardware, remaining completely isolated from the internet.

The built-in microchip is certified to military-grade standards, successfully resisting physical attacks and unauthorized extraction.

Where is my seed phrase?

Losing your mobile device

Tangem generates keys directly inside the card's chip. There is no seed phrase to leak, steal, or lose on paper.

Your assets remain safe. The app is merely a viewer; your private keys stay embedded inside your physical hardware cards.
