Good questions.
Straight answers.
Does a hardware wallet remove every risk?
No. It can help protect private keys, but it cannot automatically protect you against a stolen backup, malicious approvals or sending assets to the wrong address.
Does every wallet use a seed phrase?
No. Some setups use other recovery methods. Check what happens if you lose all your backup devices before choosing a setup.
Is Tangem Helper an official Tangem website?
No. This is an independent educational publication. We are not Tangem, do not provide official support and do not sell devices.
