StreamCoin wallet

What is StreamCoin (STRM)?

STRM is the token of StreamCoin, a project aimed at live streaming: the idea is that streaming platforms plug into its infrastructure and use the token for platform-side functions and governance, with MeiTalk as the first platform built around it. For someone holding it, the useful part is less the roadmap than where the token actually sits.

STRM began life as a BEP-20 token on BNB Chain, and that is how most older write-ups still describe it. It has since appeared on more than one EVM chain, and this is where holders get into trouble. A token contract on one chain is a different token from a contract with the same name and ticker on another: balances do not merge, and there is no automatic path from one to the other without going through a bridge that someone has actually deployed for this asset. Before you send, know which chain your STRM is on, and know which chain the receiving side is expecting.

Two more details worth keeping in mind. Fees are never paid in STRM - each chain wants its own native coin in the same wallet, and a wallet holding only STRM cannot move it. And because the ticker is short and generic, several unrelated tokens use the letters STRM; the contract behind the balance is what identifies the asset, not the three letters your app prints.

Tangem keeps a separate balance per chain for this token and names the network a transfer is leaving on right before the card signs, which gives you the one moment to check it against where the recipient is waiting. That check is yours to make, and holding STRM somewhere that puts the network in front of you is worth something. Supported networks in Tangem (4): Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon POS, Fantom.
