Is there a seed phrase in the wallet?

The use of seed phrases is optional. There are three private key generation methods available in the new Tangem wallet:

1. Using a True Random Number Generator (TRNG), which generates keys inside the card chip and stores them there. Neither Tangem nor anyone else can access them (the recommended method).

2. Generating a seed phrase in the Tangem app and then importing it into the card/ring.

3. Importing your seed phrase from another wallet. Unlike private keys generated in the wallet, a seed phrase can be copied and stolen.

However, all wallet setup methods function the same for key storage. No one can access the keys, even if they steal the card, work for Tangem, or own it. The key cannot be removed from the card under any circumstances, and the primary task of the chip is to keep the key secure.
