Tangem Support for Shiba Inu
Meanwhile, the development comes over a year after Tangem introduced a card-shaped branded wallet for Shiba Inu. The initiative attracted the attention of Shiba Inu community members, who quickly pre-ordered 5,000 units of Tangem Wallet. Tangem commenced shipment of the first batch of the branded Shiba Inu wallets by July 2023.
The wallet provider also offered a 10% discount to early users as compensation for the delay in shipping the products. Notably, Tangem further expanded its support for the Shiba Inu ecosystem in February by integrating with Shibarium, the cryptocurrency’s L2 blockchain.
