What is Entangle?
Entangle is the one-stop shop for any network, protocol, or asset seeking the core primitives and tools necessary to connect to the rest of the blockchain ecosystem. Whether it’s the tools to source data from Web2 sources as well as Web3, enabling the tokenization of assets, facilitating omnichain gaming interactions or integrations that allow the creation of new cross-chain DeFi and Liquidity products, Entangle is enabling the omnichain evolution of the crypto industry.
This is accomplished in 4 parts:
- Photon Messaging: Highly customizable omnichain messaging for any EVM or non-EVM network.
- Universal Data Feeds: Low-latency, low-cost data infrastructure for any Web2 or Web3 data source. Both price-feed data and generalizable data are supported and delivered to smart contracts on any chain.
- e-VRF: Provides highly secure, verifiable, and unpredictable numbers, ideal for projects needing randomness. Supports on-chain applications such as gaming, NFTs, gambling, generative art, and beyond.
- Liquid Vaults: Composable derivative tokens for any Web3 asset, increasing capital efficiency while still earning yield on the underlying asset.
Entangle has already established key partnerships with industry leaders, including Arbitrum, Mantle, Linea, Polygon, Avalanche, Velodrome, SushiSwap, and many others.
These integrations alongside multi-capable tech, have significantly expanded Entangle’s capabilities and influence in not only blockchain but to a diverse range of use cases including AI, GameFi, Real World Assets, DePin and more.
What makes Entangle unique?
Entangle is built with developer customizability in mind with the innovative distributed network of PoS machines termed The Agent Network. Transmitter Agents are programmable to collect and aggregate data from various on-chain and off-chain sources, such as real-world and blockchain data. A Proof-of-Collateral system is used whereby Agents must stake $NGL tokens to participate and reach consensus for data to be validated on the Entangle Blockchain.
Additionally, 3rd parties may deploy customized Transmitter Agents to verify on-chain or off-chain data, receiving $NGL tokens as compensation. Parties may elect to use Entangle’s Agents, 3rd party ones, or some combination of the two as part of their security design.
Applications may also customize security and consensus parameters such as the number of Receiver and Executor Agents, consensus threshold parameters, preferred data sources, data delivery method, data process logic, and more. These can be tailored based on security and cost preferences, and be proportionally upgraded alongside as required.
Entangle also allows connectivity of EVM and Non-EVM blockchains including Solana, Ethereum, Sei, Base, Mantle & more, where native omnichain assets can be issued on connected blockchains simultaneously.
Leveraging the core infrastructure, Entangle built its first native application, allowing users to create Composable Derivatives Tokens (CDTs) on top of yield-bearing assets to enhance liquidity and maximize returns. These assets represent the next evolution of on-chain assets enabling dApps to share liquidity throughout DeFi.
NGL token
$NGL is Entangle's native token, a keystone in powering Entangle’s core infrastructure. The token is crucial in fueling the Entangle Blockchain where $NGL is used as payment for gas transaction fees and as a bond for developers looking to integrate the Entangle suite of products.
In addition, it is used as a delegation to run both Blockchain Validators and Transmitter Agents. Holders of NGL are also able to delegate to Validators or Agents, further compounding Entangle’s security as well as receiving a share of the revenues generated. Holders are also able to stake $NGL for real yield and exclusive benefits within the Entangle Ecosystem, including access to future products and tokens.
