King DAG wallet

What is King DAG (KDAG)?

King DAG presents itself as a directed-acyclic-graph network architecture aimed at high throughput and low confirmation latency, with its own consensus design rather than a conventional chain of blocks. Whatever runs on that side, the thing a wallet actually holds is simpler than the description suggests: KDAG circulates as a standard token on Ethereum, and that is the form your balance takes.

Practically, that means it behaves like any Ethereum token and none of the architecture claims change how you handle it. Transfers are ordinary contract calls, so every send needs ETH in the same wallet to pay gas, no matter how large or small the KDAG amount is. The balance sits at your Ethereum address and does not move, split or change on its own. And because a token is identified by its contract rather than by its name, adding it by ticker alone is not enough; confirm the contract your wallet is tracking matches the one the token you bought was issued from, since generic three and four letter tickers are easy to reuse.

Supported networks in Tangem (1): Ethereum.

The gas dependency is the part that catches people out with tokens like this one. Tangem keeps ETH and KDAG in the same wallet under the same key, so the coin that pays for a transfer is already there when you need it, and the transfer is approved by tapping the card to your phone. Nobody wants to discover an empty gas balance at the moment they finally want to move a position, and keeping both together is how you avoid that.
