What does a conversion rate mean on Tangem converter pages?

It is the live ratio between the two assets—how much USDT or ETH you should expect per BTC (or vice versa) before fees. Markets move; the web tool updates as conditions change.

How do I use the Tangem web converter?

Select the pair, type an amount, and read the estimated output. For real swaps you still confirm pricing and routes in the app where providers and gas are explicit.

How do I swap inside the Tangem app?

Open a token page (Tangem’s examples include USDT), tap Swap, pick the asset you want to receive—such as Solana or Ethereum—choose a provider, then sign with PIN or biometric and scan your Tangem card.

Can I buy Bitcoin with USDT or with ETH when supported?

If liquidity and integrations allow the pair in your region, yes. Availability is not guaranteed for every user or every day; check the in-app quote.

What fees apply?

Expect route or trading fees plus network costs. Tangem notes that comparing services matters because fee structures differ. Some platforms add extra charges beyond spread and gas.

What is the cheapest way to swap?

Compare all-in cost including gas and slippage. Tangem advertises a single interface that pulls from multiple exchanges and swap routes so you can evaluate alternatives faster than tab-switching manually.

Are swaps anonymous?

Not automatically. DEX-style routes may reduce custodial identity steps; regulated venues often require KYC. Treat privacy claims as route-specific, not absolute.

Where should I store assets after converting?

Prefer non-custodial cold storage for long-term positions. Tangem positions its hardware as offline protection against online threats—pair that with disciplined backups.

What about Solana after I swap?

If you routed into SOL, confirm you hold native SOL on Solana for staking and fees. Continue with our Tangem SOL buying guide and Staking Hub when ready.
