Tangent, a new DeFi protocol, has officially launched with frxUSD as its core default stablecoin.​

The protocol offers liquidity providers up to 30% APR plus future $TAN token allocations through its PegKeeper pool integration with Curve Finance.​ Unlike other stablecoins that only use frxUSD for secondary market liquidity, Tangent's USG stablecoin relies on frxUSD as its primary mechanism for maintaining its peg.​

This launch follows a pre-deposit phase where frxUSD was selected as one of only two default stablecoins (alongside USDC) to secure $TAN allocations.​

Protocols like @Tangent_fi continue to build on frxUSD as their default stablecoin. frxUSD is the safest stablecoin you can hold, and its yield forwarding also makes it the most rewarding. An easy choice for building a better DeFi for all. We look forward to Tangent's growth.
