# Why Tangent Tangent is a permission-less token which brings together governance, utility and a stabilising factor in the rapidly evolving Art x Finance blockchain industry. In 2022, the team believes many of the available tokens are relying on nothing more than hype in order to sustain their market cap and overall position within the market. Tangent is a token that will deploy the available capital wisely in order to bring about tangible real-world change within art & finance, whilst contributing to the growth of Cardano’s utility and accessibility. Tangent promises to put Artists and the community at the forefront of their decisions, giving budding creators the opportunity to gain financial support & passive income through the Tangent ecosystem. Furthermore Tangent plans to provide a platform for users to purchase virtual land, across the **Tanglobe**, a 3-D virtual environment that will merge digital life with real world experiences, whilst creating endless new playgrounds to build and landscape with personal digital art and other possessions. **Tanglobetrotters** will have the ability to take part in land-grabs through on-chain game battles, bringing a new dimension to play-to-earn initiatives. Tangent’s Dapp will allow users to monetize their virtual assets and experiences through the investment of digital currency, allowing for the acquisition of more TANG. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
