Contango TANGOPrice $ 0.0205

Contango is a DeFi protocol that enables users to create leveraged positions similar to perpetual futures contracts but with lower funding costs. It operates by automating "looping" strategies, which involve recursive borrowing and lending on spot and money markets. This allows users to take long or short positions on various assets across multiple blockchain networks.

The platform is highly composable, meaning it can support trading pairs on any blockchain that has both a spot market and a lending market. This flexibility allows users to diversify their trading activities across different chains and markets. Contango offers access to deep liquidity by aggregating liquidity from spot and money markets, and it provides some of the cheapest and most stable funding rates in the industry.

Additionally, Contango allows users to earn rewards, farm points, and participate in airdrops from the underlying protocols they interact with through the platform. The protocol's architecture supports a wide range of use cases, including delta-neutral strategies, yield farming with leverage, and arbitrage opportunities​.
