Campaign Brief: Zero-Fee USDC on Stellar (Tangem x Mercuryo)

What it is:

Tangem and Mercuryo have launched a limited-time, zero-fee offer letting users buy USDC and XLM on the Stellar network directly into their Tangem wallet — no fees on the transaction. This is based on a grant by the Stellar foundation and is positioned as a tri-party promo, with subsidy coming direct from Stellar.

How it works (two steps): A two-step offer inside the Tangem app:

1. Buy XLM with zero fees, up to 50 EUR equivalent.
   • This funds the Stellar account reserve and the USDC trustline, so the wallet can actually hold the token.
   • The min amount will be reduced just to €10 equivalent.
   • Users who buy more XLM than they need can swap the surplus inside the app.
2. Buy USDC on Stellar at a 1:1 rate. Pay 500 USD, receive 500 USDC.
   • No spread, no fee.

What users need to do:

• Buy via card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay inside the Tangem app
• Complete the small XLM step first, then buy USDC
• Minimum purchase in the first transaction is $10/€10, capped at $50/€50
• After the first transaction, minimum purchase is $150/€150, capped at $700/€700 per transaction and $700/€700 per user

Not available to users in the US, UK, or EEA

For a specific list of countries, this offer allows a smooth, no-KYC experience with Apple Pay:

Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Brazil, Canada, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Georgia, Greenland, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Israel, Japan, Jersey, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Macau, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Oman, Paraguay, Peru, Qatar, San Marino, Serbia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Thailand, Taiwan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Vatican City, Vietnam

Why it matters for users:

• A fee-free way to get into USDC and XLM onramping into Tangem Wallet
• Held in self-custody from the moment of purchase — no exchange, no middleman holding the funds
• Simple, one-to-one entry point into USDC and XLM without the usual on-ramp costs
• A gateway into the Stellar network itself — once onramped, users can explore other assets and DeFi services available on Stellar, not just hold USDC and XLM

Campaign duration: Running for an estimated 1–2 months, until the allocated campaign budget is used (exact end date TBD).
