Гаманець для Wrapped ADA (Universal)

What is Wrapped ADA (Universal) (UADA)?

uADA is an ADA denominated balance that lives nowhere near Cardano. It is an ERC-20 token, issued against ADA held one for one in institutional custody, and it exists so that an ADA position can be used inside EVM applications: swapped, supplied, paired. Minting puts ADA into reserve and burning the token is how you get the underlying coin back out.

What this means for a holder is mostly a list of things uADA is not. It is not ADA, it does nothing on the Cardano network itself, and it takes no part in how that network operates. Its transfers are ordinary EVM transfers, and the fee for one is paid in ETH on Base, not in ADA.

The bigger practical risk is confusion between venues. The same uADA design is deployed on more than one EVM chain, and unrelated wrapped ADA tokens from other issuers also circulate. Before sending anywhere, confirm both the chain and which wrapped ADA the other side is expecting, because these are genuinely different tokens that share a name.

On that front Tangem keeps a separate balance per network rather than one merged number, and the transfer screen names the network the transaction will be broadcast on before the card signs it, which is the moment to compare it with what the recipient asked for. Supported networks in Tangem (1): Base. Checking is still your job; having the chain stated plainly in front of you at least makes it a quick one.
