​
Token Interactions

These tokens work together to create a sustainable ecosystem:

  1. Traders pay fees in ETH
  2. Fees are distributed to AMPED and ALP stakers
  3. Stakers earn additional esAMP rewards
  4. esAMP can be vested to AMPED
  5. AMPED can be used for governance or restaked
  6. ALP can be deposited into yALP for auto-compounding

​
Reward Distribution

The protocol distributes rewards as follows:

  • 70% to Liquidity Providers: ALP holders receive the majority of trading fees
  • 30% to Platform Participants: Distributed to active users who engage with the platform

This dual reward system ensures both liquidity providers and ecosystem participants benefit from the platform’s growth.
