The first Amp governance proposal has now passed, with 99.74% of votes in favor! The Amp community has voted to establish the Amp Community Grant Program, with initial funding of 1 billion AMP (more details to come). Much appreciation to all who voted on this first proposal!
Recently, a flash loan exploit was used to liquidate Amp on Cream Finance. After an initial review, we believe the Amp contract is functioning as intended. We are working closely with
@CreamdotFinance
to investigate further and will provide additional details as soon as possible.
1/ Today, we are excited to announce major milestones for the Ampera Foundation after 12 months of hard work! Based on our community's valuable feedback, we're introducing two distinct projects to better serve the crypto ecosystem: Ampera & Anvil.
Even with the turbulent macro environment, $AMP staked on the Flexa Network is showing resilience. The # of holders has remained consistent and the amount of Amp staked is nearly at ATHs. Since last month, we have had a 5% increase in Amp staked on Flexa Capacity!
Amp is now available as collateral on

Companies like
@FlexaHQ
utilize $AMP to provide unconditional and immediate guarantees for all merchant payments. By utilizing decentralized collateral as its foundation, Flexa is able to guarantee payments without relying on external protocols or trusting network participants.
Staked $AMP has been steadily increasing over the last 30 days. Staking Amp helps support the spending capacity of networks like

Did you know the name Amp was derived from André-Marie Ampere and his landmark work in electrodynamics? As a unit of measure, the SI ampere refers to the base unit of electric current: the fundamental element used in creating capacity.
CORRECTION: an earlier version of this tweet cut short the end date for the special incentive of $AMP and $xRULER on
@RulerProtocol
. The incentive distribution is *actually* running through Tuesday, July 27. (Thanks
@Kanyesweatzz
!)
⚖️ Using Ruler, anyone can lend Amp to earn interest from borrowers. And to help celebrate this launch, Ruler will be distributing a bonus incentive of 81,125 $AMP and 25 $xRULER tokens to the Amp pool each week between now and July 27.
Why is digital collateral necessary? It allows transactions to reach instant economic finality, regardless of consensus mechanism. Faster economic finality creates more viable use cases (e.g., IRL payments via Flexa) and a better user experience.
Great news! The vote to whitelist $AMP in
@Bancor
v2.1 has passed unanimously. Amp holders will soon be able to stake and earn $AMP on with single-sided exposure and impermanent loss protection.
Thanks to the support of the
@Bancor
and Amp communities, this proposal has successfully passed! Amp holders can now supply additional liquidity to the AMP/BNT pool.
What makes Amp uniquely suitable as collateral? The token offers developers a secure, straightforward interface to sub-address dimensions called “partitions,” which can be accessed on-chain in a variety of useful ways by collateral manager smart contracts.
