Two friction points just disappeared. First: you can now swap any supported token without pre-pinning it to your main screen. Second: Monad, one of the most anticipated new blockchains, is now live in Tangem Wallet. Get ready to participate in the next major network launch—with full self-custody, from day one.
The old problem: Your Tangem Wallet shows your main holdings (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC). You spot a trading opportunity—a token that's spiking, a new DeFi protocol launching, a rebalancing play. But that token isn't on your main screen. So you have to:
That's 4 steps. By the time you're done, the opportunity is gone. Or worse, you pin a token you only want temporarily, cluttering your view.
Scenario: You want to swap into a token you don't normally hold.
Result: Friction. Delays. Missed opportunities.
Scenario: You want to swap into a token you don't normally hold.
Result: Three taps. Markets move. You move with them.
In recent releases, you can swap supported tokens directly from the swap screen (availability varies by asset and region). No pinning. No portfolio adjustment. Just search, confirm, and execute.
Self-custody shouldn't feel rigid. Traditional hardware wallets lock you into planning your portfolio in advance. Tangem's updated swap flow lets you react to markets in real-time, the way you would on an exchange, but with 100% custody of your keys.
Monad is one of the most anticipated blockchain launches in crypto. It's an EVM-compatible Layer 1 (like Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) built for speed and low fees.
Key facts about Monad:
You now have self-custody ready for Monad on day one. No waiting for your wallet to add support. No migrating to a new provider. When Monad goes live, you tap Tangem, hold, receive, and transact on Monad directly—with the same hardware-grade security you have on every other network.
If you've been waiting to get on Monad early, this is your setup moment.
You're watching Twitter. A new DeFi protocol launches on Polygon, and early LPs are earning 50% APY. By the time you think "I should participate," the opportunity will be gone in minutes.
Old way: You'd have to use your hot wallet (MetaMask), expose yourself to blind signing risk.
New way (latest release): Open Tangem. Tap Swap. Search for the protocol's token. Swap your USDC into it in seconds. Deposit into the protocol. Sign the transaction on your hardware. Full custody. Lower counterparty risk than custodial exchanges. Full opportunity capture.
Monad mainnet goes live Tuesday. Early ecosystem activity starts immediately. You want to be on day one.
Old way: Wait for your hardware wallet to add support (could take weeks). Or use a new wallet you're not comfortable with.
New way (latest release): Monad is already in Tangem. You bridge some tokens to Monad Tuesday morning. You're one of the earliest self-custodial users on the network. You participate in the first protocols, yield farms, and community governance.
You're a yield farmer managing positions across multiple networks. Bitcoin drops 15%. You want to increase your stablecoin allocation across Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum—today, not tomorrow.
Old way: Open each network in your wallet. Find each token. Pin them. Swap. Unpin. Tedious.
New way (latest release): Open swap. Search "USDC on Ethereum." Swap some Bitcoin. Search "USDT on Polygon." Swap. Repeat on Arbitrum. Done in under a minute. No clutter on your main portfolio view.
These are quality-of-life improvements. The fundamentals don't change:
If you use Tangem Wallet on mobile: Version 5.34 is available now on iOS and Android. Update immediately to unlock Swap Any Token and Monad support.
If you use Tangem Card: The firmware already supports Monad and unlimited swaps. Just update your mobile app when you tap the card, and you're ready.
These updates are small individually but they signal a bigger shift: self-custody wallets catching up to the flexibility of centralized exchanges, without the custody risk.
Swap any token. Transact on new networks instantly. Earn yield. Execute strategies. All while keeping 100% control of your keys.
That's the future of self-custody crypto. And it's here now.
Update Tangem Wallet to the latest release and verify supported assets/networks in-app before executing swaps.
