Why buying Spare in a self-custody wallet is safer

When you buy Spare on an exchange, the exchange holds your funds. If the exchange is hacked, freezes withdrawals, or goes bankrupt, your Spare is at risk. Tangem ensures that doesn't happen to you.

Buying Spare with Tangem

Here we've answered some of the most common questions we received

  • No. Tangem lets you buy Spare directly in the app using Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more payment options. You never need to create an exchange account or go through a separate verification process to get started.

  • No. Tangem is fully self-custodial. Your Spare is stored on the secure chip inside your Tangem card, and only you hold the private keys. Tangem never has access to your funds.

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

  • Your Spare is stored on your Tangem card, not on your phone. Simply install the Tangem app on your new device and tap your card to regain full access to your wallet.

  • Your Tangem Wallet already is cold storage. The private keys for your Spare are generated and kept on the card's secure element and never leave it.

  • KYC requirements depend on the payment provider and the amount you're purchasing. For small purchases of Spare, many providers allow you to buy without verification.
