How do I create Tangem Wallet 1.0?

To get started with Tangem Wallet, you'll need a mobile device that supports NFC and the official Tangem app. The Tangem app is available for download from the App Store and Google Play. You can also tap the card on your phone's NFC module, and be prompted to download the app from the store.

To set up your Tangem Wallet with a backup, follow these instructions:

1. Open the Tangem app.

2. Tap the "Scan" button and scan the card by placing it close to the device.

3. Choose the "Create wallet" option and scan the card again.

At this point, all the keys are generated and the wallet is created.

The wallet will then prompt you to create a backup. You can back up your keys to two other blank Tangem Wallet cards. Please note that you can either create a backup now or later. If you add one backup card now, however, you won’t be able to add more backup cards later. To start the backup process:

— Select the "Back up now" option.

— Tap the "Add a backup card" button.

— Scan a backup card, placing the card close to the device.

— Repeat the last 2 points as many times as there are cards in your bundle. You can link up to 3 cards to one wallet.

— Tap the "Finalize the backup process" button.

You will then be asked to create a single access code to protect all the cards.

1. Tap the "Continue" button and enter an access code. Choose any word, phrase or number you want as your access code. You can set a unique access code for each card later.

2. After that, select the "Continue" option, enter your access code again, and tap the "Submit" button.

3. Scan all the cards one by one again.
