Product updates
From the new Tangem Wallet to hitting 40K followers on X (formerly Twitter), here’s an overview of September’s most exciting moments.
— New Tangem Wallet announcement
The Tangem Wallet's latest version is a cutting-edge piece of hardware that improves how we use and store cryptocurrencies. While developing the wallet, we compiled the most popular features requested by our community, listened to the broader crypto community about the challenges they face when switching to Tangem, and learned what the average user wants in a secure cryptocurrency wallet.
These are the new features we’ve announced so far:
- Seed phrase option
- Dark mode
- Sorting and grouping tokens
- Hide balance
- 24-hour token price changes
- BTC, ETH transaction histories
- Rapid access from the homepage
We plan to add a market data feature inside the app, address book, cross-chain swap, staking, and more support for more blockchain networks.
— A new product page
Tangem’s redesigned product page reimagines the purchase experience for potential users.
The new page exudes a contemporary brand aesthetic, seamlessly blending aesthetic appeal with user-friendly navigation. Our unwavering commitment to convenience is reflected in the design; every click and scroll is effortless, ensuring visitors can easily explore our cutting-edge cold wallet’s features.
Load times have been reduced on all devices, eliminating lag and allowing users to access critical information quickly. The improved interface not only improves aesthetics but also functionality.
It's more than just a page; it's an immersive journey that invites users to begin their asset security journey. We're confident that our new product page will provide an experience as seamless and secure as our hardware wallets.
— CHIA support
We added support for the Chia network and its native CHIA token. This blockchain employs the Proof of Space and Time consensus algorithm, which does not require much computing power — node owners must set aside hard drive space. Using Raspberry Pi microcomputers, you can "farm" Chia instead of mining it. Our article contains additional information about the project.
— OCTA support
The Tangem app now supports OCTA, the OctaSpace cloud platform's native coin. The creators of this project hope to solve the problem of cloud computing centralization by allowing participants to rent computing power, data storage, VPN protection, and other services.
We also made standard improvements, such as bug fixes and making the app run more smoothly.
Partnerships
Here's an overview of our new partnerships and agreements in the past month.
— ChangeNOW x Tangem
Tangem has chosen ChangeNOW's CEX as one of their partners and exchange providers for their exchange aggregator — Tangem Express. This integration will allow Tangem Wallet users to run cross-chain swaps, convert cryptocurrencies, and access on-ramp/off-ramp services from various providers — all within the Tangem Wallet app.
Our companies’ shared vision drove the decision to integrate ChangeNOW's services into Tangem Wallet: to provide cryptocurrency users with a smooth, secure, user-friendly experience.
By leveraging ChangeNOW's exchange services, Tangem Wallet users will benefit from the best market rates for cross-chain swaps, ensuring optimal value when converting digital assets.
— New B2B affiliates
Tangem reached a significant milestone by signing new distribution agreements with several prestigious B2B resellers worldwide. This move reinforces our global expansion strategy, solidifying Tangem's position as a trusted leader in the crypto security space.
Tangem's newly formed partnerships are expected to significantly increase its accessibility and reach within these markets, allowing more users seamless access to our hardware wallets.
This expansion also reflects our devotion to democratizing secure crypto storage. With these new reseller agreements, we will make an even bigger impact on the crypto landscape while making the case for secure hardware wallets and their role in the broader cryptocurrency industry.
Community highlights
Notable events, contests, or initiatives involving the Tangem community.

Tangem participated in two major blockchain events in September — Permissionless II and TOKEN2049. We were represented by an outstanding team, including our CTO, CCO, marketing managers, and brand ambassadors.
At these events, we provided demos and sold a limited number of the new Tangem Wallet. Our guests also had the opportunity to purchase SHIBA-branded wallets at a discounted price.
For entertainment, we hosted lottery games and shared prizes, including Tangem-branded merchandise like bottles, T-shirts, hoodies, power banks, travel accessories for in-flight naps, tote bags, bracelets, baseball caps, and wallets.
We had an incredible time at Permissionless II, Austin, and TOKEN2049, Singapore. It wouldn't have been great without our community, whose enthusiasm and curiosity made our booth come alive.

We'll soon publish the results and give a visually appealing experience for our valued community.
Crypto in September: A month of devastating exploits and losses
According to CertiK, this month was the most concerning month for crypto-related exploits. Exit scams totaled approximately $1.9 million in losses, while flash loans equaled roughly $400,000. However, hot wallet exploits were the most significant contributor to the month's total, accounting for approximately $329.8 million in losses.
The Mixin Network attack on September 23 was the most notable event. A breach in its cloud service provider caused the Hong Kong-based decentralized cross-chain transfer protocol to suffer a significant breach, resulting in a loss of $200 million.
Another significant incident occurred on September 12, when CoinEx, a cryptocurrency exchange, was subjected to a suspected attack due to a significant outflow from four hot wallets. This breach resulted in losses totaling more than $53.1 million.
Stake.com was also attacked on September 4, resulting in a $41 million loss.
We will discuss these hacks and how they could’ve been prevented in the next article.
Upcoming events and announcements
In October 2023, the new Tangem Wallet will start shipping out to customers who have preordered theirs.
We’ll also release our new app with major features on the Apple and Google mobile app stores. We are already working on a new firmware audit for the new Tangem Wallet, and we’ll inform the general public once it is published.
A Tangem representative will speak at the DEGAMIFI WEB3 conference held in Tbilisi, Georgia, on October 7, 2023. The topic is: Using seed phrases is a risky gamble: Exploring better alternatives. We hope you will tune in and hear what we have to say on this slightly-controversial topic.
