Tangent

TANGENT is integrating NFTs, DeFi utility and smart contracts in a web3 app that brings new capabilities and functionality to the Cardano blockchain. Our mission is to create robust DeFi tools and services that can be utilized by developers, creators, artists and users.

As advocates for permissionless financial services, we built Tangent as an independent platform owned and led by the community. To serve this aim, we created the Tangent DAO and the TANG token. The Tangent DAO is a self-sovereign smart contract, backed by its own Cardano native governance token called TANG, which is the governor and guiding force of the Tangent protocol. The TANG token gives holders the ability to participate directly in governance by voting on proposals related to the TANG token’s development and usage as well as development and direction of Tangent protocol itself.

The TANG token gives holders the ability to participate directly in governance by voting on proposals related to the TANG token’s development and usage as well as development and direction of Tangent protocol itself. Any proposal that meets the proposal thresholds set by the governance protocol are eligible to be voted on by the community. Proposals can even modify or create completely new internal governance parameters, as well as invoke contract calls on any smart contracts for which the DAO is set as the governor.

The TANGENT REDEEMABLE NFT LAUNCHPAD supports artists, creators and enterprises whilst allowing for the sale and funding of tangible NFTs backed by the tokenization of real-world items, products and assets. Each Redeemable NFT is backed 1 to 1 by a physical item or product in the real world and these can be redeemed from the NFT issuer via the launchpad redemption function.

The TANGENT NFT FARM provides DeFi services and solutions on Cardano to projects, developers and end users. Tangent is a DeFi-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform serving the farming needs of the Cardano community. NFT Farming is the next step in the evolution of complex NFTs, that on one level are collectible digital art pieces but on another, form parts of smart contracts that are utilized within decentralized finance. These NFTs are not only aesthetically pleasing but possess staking capabilities within Farming Pools thus generating yield rewards for each user. Tangent has coined the phrase Operative Artwork to describe this function. The TANGENT NFT FARM is completely permissionless, providing a platform where any user (even those with zero knowledge of coding) can create their own NFT Farming Pools on Cardano.
