Гаманець для Wrapped Near

What is Wrapped Near (WNEAR)?

The reason a wrapped NEAR exists at all is a quirk of the network's design: NEAR, like ETH, is the chain's native coin and not a token contract, so smart contracts that expect a standard token interface cannot handle it directly. Wrapping fixes that. One NEAR in, one wrapped NEAR out, and the same swap in reverse whenever you want the native coin back - the exchange rate never moves.

The version you hold here sits on Aurora, the EVM environment that runs on top of NEAR, where it appears as an ordinary ERC-20 balance at a 0x address. That is a different object from the wrapped NEAR used by NEAR-native applications, even though both stand for the same coin. Bridging between the two sides, or back to native NEAR, is a deliberate step rather than a transfer.

Wrapped NEAR does not pay its own way: fees on Aurora are charged in the network's gas coin, so a wallet holding wrapped NEAR alone cannot move or unwrap it. Tangem holds that gas balance alongside the token, and each transaction is authorised by touching the card to the phone - useful, because wrapping and unwrapping tend to happen in short bursts rather than once. Keeping both pieces in one place removes the usual scramble for fee money at the wrong moment.
