Frequently asked questions

Is Tab a wallet?

Sort of. Tab gives every user a wallet, but the wallet is single-purpose: it holds stablecoins and signs Tab transactions. If you want a full multi-asset wallet, export the key and import it into Rabby, MetaMask, or whatever you prefer.

What happens if I forget my PIN?

If you set up a backup, sign in again, re-enter the PIN, and you're back in. If you didn't set up a backup, the wallet is unrecoverable. Tab has no way to reset it — that's the point of the design.

Is Tab really 1%? No platform percent? No FX spread?

Really 1%. The fee is taken in the same stablecoin as the payment, computed on-chain by the router. There's no spread because there's no conversion — Tab settles whatever the buyer is paying with.

What chains will you add next?

Decisions are stack-ranked by user demand. Solana and Polygon are the two most-requested. Email hello@thetab.bar if your use case needs a specific chain — every concrete request bumps a chain up the queue.

Can I run my own relayer?

Yes. The relayer is just an EOA with native gas, submitting EIP-712-signed payloads against the router. A reference implementation ships with the open-source release at mainnet; running it alongside Tab's relayer keeps your customers' payments flowing even if Tab's nodes are down.

What about refunds?

Refunds are a normal payment in the other direction — your wallet pays the buyer's wallet. Tab still charges its 1% on each leg unless you flag the order as a refund (which the API allows for cancellable settled orders).

Is Tab compliant in my jurisdiction?

Tab is a software protocol; it does not move fiat and does not custody funds. That doesn't make every regulatory question go away, but it changes the conversation. We're not in a position to give legal advice — consult a lawyer who knows crypto-payments law in your country.
