Angle Protocol

Angle Protocol is a decentralized stablecoin infrastructure designed to issue and maintain reliable Euro- and U.S. Dollar-pegged stablecoins, named EURA and USDA respectively. It operates as an over-collateralized system, meaning the value of assets backing the stablecoins exceeds the circulating supply, providing an equity buffer that enhances security and stability. The protocol is composed of modular smart contracts deployed on Ethereum and other blockchains, enabling minting, borrowing, swapping, and yield generation on stablecoins.

The protocol’s core components include the Transmuter, a price stability module that manages a diversified basket of stable assets to back the stablecoins and allows trustless redemption at any time, even during market stress. The Borrowing module enables users to deposit various collateral assets and borrow stablecoins at competitive rates, facilitating leverage or stablecoin access without selling volatile assets. Angle also offers a Savings system that automatically allocates yield generated from the protocol’s assets to stablecoin holders, allowing users to earn native yield without additional risk or complexity.

Angle differentiates itself through its multi-audited, transparent, and fully collateralized reserves, which are publicly verifiable in real-time. Its innovative price stability mechanisms and dynamic fee models improve resilience compared to traditional stablecoin protocols, especially during adverse market events. The protocol supports seamless onchain EUR/USD stablecoin swaps at competitive forex-like rates, unlocking onchain forex capabilities. Angle is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) with ANGLE token holders controlling protocol upgrades and parameters. Developers can build on Angle’s open-source codebase and integrate its stablecoins into DeFi applications, leveraging its composable modules and cross-chain liquidity infrastructure.

To get started, users can acquire USDA and EURA stablecoins via the Angle app or decentralized exchanges like 1inch, or borrow them against supported collateral. Comprehensive documentation and developer resources are available to facilitate integration and participation in governance. Angle’s open-source smart contracts have undergone multiple security audits, and a bug bounty program incentivizes ongoing security improvements.
