How to start in 4 steps
Open the official Tangem site (tangem.com) and check the address
Order only from the official shop (a referral code gives 10% off)
Set it up in the official Tangem app and create the backup cards
Move savings to it; keep trading money in a separate hot wallet

How Tangem works
A set of 2 or 3 cards holds the same key, so the extra cards are your backup; a seed phrase is optional. Tangem says it supports 90+ networks (tangem.com). Compared with Ledger and Trezor, it is the simplest to carry, but losing all cards without a seed backup means losing access.
The referral discount
Per Tangem's referral programme, a buyer using a referral link or code gets 10% off on tangem.com; the referrer gets 5 USDT (TRC-20) per wallet sold, paid 30 days after the purchase. Referral is activated in the Tangem app. We don't have a Tangem referral link yet, so the link here is the official shop.
Tangem for memecoins
Tangem is for holding, not fast trading. A sensible setup is a small hot wallet (Phantom or a trading app) for new coins and Tangem for what you keep. Always buy from tangem.com or an authorised seller, never second hand.

Signed up but waiting on first deposit?
Nothing is paid until your first purchase through the Deposit button in the pump.fun app (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or another method the app shows). SOL or other crypto sent from an exchange or wallet does not count. The 10-day window starts when that deposit is confirmed: trade on 5 different days (UTC) inside it, and keep the purchased funds in the wallet until the last payout.
