What is the exchange rate for converting cryptocurrency into fiat?

Currency rates in the Tangem app are taken from the largest cryptocurrency aggregator, coingecko.com, and are updated every 15 minutes. Please note that this is just a guideline figure to help you estimate the portfolio's value. We recommend monitoring the exchange rate with an exchange app or website for active trading.

How to add a custom token to the Tangem wallet
To create a custom token, do this:

  1. Open the Tangem app.
  2. Tap the three dots in the top right corner.
  3. Select the wallet you want to use.
  4. Choose the desired account.
  5. Go to Manage tokens.
  6. Tap + in the upper right corner of the list of tokens.

To add a token, you need the following information:

  1. Token network.
  2. The address of the token's smart contract — usually found on CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, or the appropriate blockchain explorer.
  3. Token name (e.g., BinaryX) and symbol (e.g., BNX).
  4. The number of decimal places (Decimals). This parameter determines where one token can be split for operations. Decimals can be found in the relevant blockchain explorer.
  5. Derivation path — typically set to Default.

Example of adding a custom token
For example, to add the BinaryX (BNX) token on the BNB Smart Chain, you need to fill out the fields as follows:

  1. Contract address: 0x5b1f874d0b0C5ee17a495CbB70AB8bf64107A3BD
  2.  Network: BNB Smart Chain
  3. Token name: BinaryX
  4. Token symbol: BNX
  5. Decimal places: 18
    You can see the number of decimal places in the Explorer.
  6. Derivation path: Default

Detailed instructions are also available on our blog: How to add a custom token to the Tangem app.

Why do I not see the token's price?

If you've added a custom token via a smart contract address, we may not have the price for that token. These custom tokens won't be included in the total balance calculation, and instead of the price, a dash will be displayed next to the token name.
