Tangem urged users to immediately update their apps to secure various Cardano native assets, such as Iagon (IAG), SingularityNET (AGIX), Cornucopias (COPI), Snek (SNEK), and World Mobile Token (WMT), among others.
According to Tangem, users can find their favorite Cardano-based tokens in the “Manage Tokens” section of their updated app.
Despite the Cardano integration, Tangem noted that it has not implemented native staking support within the network. However, Tangem plans to integrate staking functionality in the near future.
It is not supported yet, but it is on our roadmap for future integration. Stay tuned!
