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