Why buying WAX in a non-custodial wallet is safer

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

Buying WAX with Tangem

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

  • No. Tangem lets you buy WAX 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 WAX 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 WAX is delivered straight to your Tangem Wallet.

  • Your WAX 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 WAX 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 WAX, many providers allow you to buy without verification.
