Cygnus is the industry’s first Instagram App Layer, merging onchain and off-chain assets to power the creator economy.

Cygnus is the first Web3 Instagram App Layer and a modular real yield layer.

Our Instagram Layer connects 2B+ Instagram users to Web3, starting with the rapidly growing Cygnus InstaPlay Hub and expanding into the creator economy, data sovereignty, and AI integration.

Powered by the Cygnus Omnichain Liquidity Validation System (LVS), Cygnus Chain secures liquidity and provides distributed validation services, enabling users to earn staking yields, LVS fees, and ecosystem incentives from onchain and off-chain assets.

Use Cases

USDC → cgUSD Minting & Liquidity Backbone

USDC is the base asset to mint cgUSD on Base (via the Cygnus dApp), which can be wrapped to wcgUSD for multi-chain trading. This unifies the unit of account, reduces liquidity fragmentation, and keeps 1:1 on-chain transparency and low slippage.

Yield & Risk-Managed Strategies: Pendle + Morpho

With Pendle, wcgUSD enables yield tokenization and fixed-rate strategies - users can trade future yield and lock in rates. With Morpho, wcgUSD underpins safer, flexible, institution-grade lending/borrowing and yield strategies. USDC’s stability improves depth, execution quality, and risk control across these integrations.
