Overview
What is Tangent?
Tangent is a DeFi protocol building $USG, an over-collateralized USD stablecoin minted through a collateralized debt position (CDP) model. The design takes cues from Curve’s crvUSD, with $USG backed by productive collateral like Curve LP tokens and Pendle PTs rather than idle assets.
The protocol focuses on capital-efficient borrowing and yield generation. Users can mint $USG against productive positions, often at low or interest-free rates depending on the market, and earn yield through a savings vehicle (sUSG) or by providing liquidity. Peg stability is handled through Peg Keepers placed on top of the main Curve pools, similar to the crvUSD mechanism.
Tangent integrates with Curve, Frax, and Pendle and is built on Ethereum. The protocol is in late-stage pre-launch, with the pre-deposit campaign opening before the public $USG release.
Tangent Airdrop Details
The Tangent airdrop is confirmed. A total of 12% of $TAN governance token supply is allocated to community rewards: 10% for liquidity engagement and 2% for vote engagement. A fixed 2% slice of total supply is reserved specifically for participants in the pre-deposit campaign, distributed proportionally to deposit size.
Key Parameters:
- Allocation: 12% of total supply (10% liquidity engagement + 2% vote engagement); 2% fixed share for pre-deposit campaign
- Distribution Method: Points program based on protocol usage; pre-deposit share proportional to deposit
- TGE Date: TBA (after $USG mainnet launch)
The pre-deposit campaign opens on May 18, 2026 and runs for 90 days. Deposits are routed into two Curve pools, USDC/USG and frxUSD/USG, and depositors receive a Curve LP token in return.
The campaign moves through three phases: a private phase for partners, a public phase open to all, and a retention phase where withdrawals affect eligibility. Pre-depositors also receive a 2x boost on the regular Points Program plus trading fees and optional CRV rewards if they stake their LP tokens.
Participation Requirements6 links
1
Visit the Tangent Pre-Deposit PageMedium·~5min
Go to the Tangent pre-deposit page and click “Connect Wallet” in the top right.
2
Acquire USDC or frxUSDEasy·~5min
You will need USDC or frxUSD on Ethereum mainnet to deposit. If you do not hold either, you can buy USDC on Binance and withdraw it to your Ethereum wallet.
3
Choose a Pool and DepositEasy·~5min
Select one of the two pre-deposit pools based on the asset you hold:
USDC/USG Pool: Deposit USDC, paired against $USG inside the Curve pool frxUSD/USG Pool: Deposit frxUSD, paired against $USG inside the Curve pool
Enter the amount you want to deposit and confirm the transaction. Your funds are routed into the corresponding Curve pool, and you receive a Curve LP token that represents your position.
4
Decide Whether to Stake Your LP TokensEasy·~10min
You have two options for what to do with the LP token:
Hold the LP token: Earn maximum points for the regular airdrop campaign Stake the LP token: Stake on Curve, Convex Finance, or StakeDAO to earn CRV rewards alongside trading fees, but with fewer points
Staking does not affect your pre-deposit campaign share, only the regular points program multiplier.
5
Maintain Your Position Through the Retention PhaseEasy·~5min
Once the retention phase begins, your deposit must stay active until the campaign ends to remain eligible for the 2% pre-deposit share. A full withdrawal during retention forfeits your eligibility, even if you redeposit later.
6
Claim Your $TAN Allocation Post-TGEEasy·~2min
After the 90-day campaign ends and $USG launches, $TAN tokens will be distributed to eligible participants. The claim portal and exact TGE date will be announced through Tangent’s official channels.
