Frequently asked questions
What is ANGLE and how is it different from Bitcoin?
Unlike Bitcoin, which is primarily a store of value, ANGLE is a governance token tied to the Angle Protocol, which focuses on issuing stablecoins and pegged assets. Its purpose is to give holders a say in the protocol's direction rather than serve as digital gold. It also has a hard cap of 1 billion coins, similar in spirit to Bitcoin's limited supply.
How does the Angle Protocol work?
Angle is a decentralized protocol that mints stablecoins and other pegged assets against collateral supplied by users. It relies on smart contracts on a public blockchain, so no bank or intermediary is involved — transactions and minting are enforced by code. ANGLE holders govern the protocol by voting on upgrades and parameter changes.
How is ANGLE issued and what is its maximum supply?
ANGLE has a fixed hard cap of 1,000,000,000 coins, so the total supply can never exceed that number. Tokens were distributed through mechanisms like airdrops, liquidity incentives, and allocations to the team and treasury, with vesting schedules in place. This capped design protects against unlimited inflation of the supply.
How can I store and use ANGLE tokens?
Since ANGLE is an ERC-20 token, you can store it in any wallet that supports Ethereum-based assets, such as MetaMask or a hardware wallet like Ledger. Beyond holding, you can use ANGLE for governance voting, staking, or providing liquidity on decentralized exchanges. Always double-check the contract address before transacting to avoid fake tokens.
