The new ‘Yield Mode’ feature integrates Aave to offer non-custodial, onchain yield directly within Tangem’s app.

LUZERN, Switzerland, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tangem, the Swiss maker of NFC-based hardware wallets, today launched "Yield Mode," a new in-app feature that allows idle stablecoins to generate yield in real time. Launching with native integration of Aave – DeFi’s largest and most trusted liquidity protocol with over $60 billion in net deposits – the new feature enables users to generate yield while assets remain fully liquid and in the user's complete control.

Users activate Yield Mode with a single, hardware-secured transaction that fully automates all future deposits to Aave. Yield is earned automatically and added to the balance in real time, with no need to claim. Funds are never locked and remain fully liquid; users can send, swap, or withdraw assets—and accumulated rewards—instantly at any time. The feature runs on an audited smart contract to keep user assets fully non-custodial and isolated from third-party access.

"Our users trust us to keep their assets secure, but they've been waiting for a way to put those assets to work," said Andrey Lazutkin, CTO at Tangem. "We've now delivered that by building a seamless experience of a neobank that connects them to Aave’s onchain yield—something traditional finance simply can't offer."

“This integration with Tangem brings together two key building blocks of onchain finance – self-custody and yield,” said Stani Kulechov, Founder of Aave Labs. “It makes earning onchain yield simple and secure, letting users put assets to work while staying fully in control.”

Tangem’s Yield Mode is available now in the latest version of the Tangem Wallet app.
