Tangent (@Tangent_fi) — Twitter Score 32 out of 1000

Tangent is a DeFi protocol that issues USG, an over-collateralized, USD-denominated CDP stablecoin governed by TAN token holders. Tangent's Twitter Score is 32 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #29,786 (top 10%) among 486,037 tracked accounts.

Tangent describes itself as a capital-efficient synthetic stablecoin platform, currently featuring USG and sUSG, a savings-account variant of USG. USG can be minted against productive collateral including Curve Finance LP tokens and Pendle PTs, and under certain conditions can be borrowed interest-free on dedicated markets. Rather than relying on redemptions to maintain its peg, USG uses Peg Keeper contracts alongside a dynamic interest-rate and rewards-deduction model inspired by crvUSD.

Tangent emerged as a pivot from Convergence, a previous project it was formerly affiliated with. In August 2024, a vulnerability in Convergence's CvxRewardDistributor was exploited, resulting in unauthorized minting of all staking emissions, a token dump that sent CVG to zero, and the breakdown of core protocol components. Following that exploit, a DAO vote held on Snapshot asked whether to redeem treasury assets for affected users or pivot to Tangent; according to Tangent's own documentation, over 97% of voters supported the pivot.

Tangent has undergone security reviews by Egis Security, Sherlock, Pashov Audit Group, and Zerocool. The account has published 518 posts and has been mentioned by 28 accounts, totaling 46 mentions.
