Crypto addresses are long strings of random characters. You must copy and paste the address every time you send funds to the same recipient. A single wrong character can send your funds to the wrong place.

 

Tangem Wallet now has an Address Book. The Address Book lets you save a recipient's address one time. You can then select the address for any future transfer, instead of copying and pasting it again.

 

The Address Book is a good solution for recurring transfers. Recurring transfers include sending funds to the same exchange account, to another personal wallet, or to a trusted recipient. The Address Book makes the Send flow more convenient, reduces the risk of manual errors, and increases your confidence when you work with wallet addresses.

 

This guide shows two tasks. The first task is how to add and save an address. The second task is selecting a saved address when you send crypto.

What Is the Address Book?

The Address Book is a list of saved addresses in Tangem Wallet. You can add an address to the list one time. You can then select the address for any future transfer.
