Why buying Nym in a non-custodial wallet is safer

When you buy Nym on an exchange, the exchange holds your funds. If the exchange is hacked, freezes withdrawals, or goes bankrupt, your Nym is at risk. Tangem ensures that doesn't happen to you. When you buy Nym, our integrated provider sends it directly to your wallet's public address.

  • Most purchases complete within a few minutes. Once the payment is approved by the provider, your Nym is delivered straight to your Tangem Wallet.
