Unlock Schedule
Amp (AMP) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Amp (AMP) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence AMP price performance.
Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.
Tokenomics & Utility
Supply and original allocation
AMP has a fixed-supply model built around a fully diluted total of 100 billion tokens. When Flexa introduced AMP, it said the new token would keep Flexacoin’s long-term supply and distribution plan. That original plan assigned 25% to merchant development, 25% to developer grants, 20% to the founding team and employees, 20% to token sales, and 10% to a network development fund. Those categories describe the initial allocation plan rather than how many tokens any group holds today. (medium.com)
The token’s main utility is providing collateral capacity. AMP holders can contribute tokens to a Flexa Capacity pool, making them available to back transfers linked to that pool. Providers receive AMP rewards allocated in proportion to their participation and weighted by how long their collateral has been supplied. Capacity v3 distributes those rewards monthly and also allows selected pools to receive temporary bonus rewards called Boosts. (flexa.co)
This incentive structure connects the people supplying collateral with the apps and networks using it. More contributed AMP gives a pool more collateral to support payments. Providers, in turn, choose which pools they want to support. Rewards and the time needed to unlock tokens follow the pool system’s rules; in Capacity v3, Flexa described an unlock interval of roughly 12 to 24 hours after a request. (flexa.co)
Assumptions
- Amp retained Flexacoin’s fixed 100B supply and the same long-term allocation plan after the 1:1 migration in September 2020.
Flexa explicitly states AMP keeps FXC supply and distribution curve; migration minted AMP only when FXC was burned.
- Developer Grants unlock modeled as annual 1B cliffs the January after each January grant from 2020–2044.
Flexa specified 1B granted each year starting January 2020, stake-locked 12 months; exact day not specified, so we use the first of January for monthly modeling.
- Network Development Fund Year 1 is precisely Dec 16, 2019–Dec 31, 2020; Years 2–10 modeled as 1B/year linear from 2021–2029.
Flexa published the Year 1 daily rate and timeframe; for the rest, only 'roughly 1B per year' was specified for the first decade.
- Merchant Development Fund emissions modeled as linear from 2019-04-25 through 2045-12-31.
Flexa described these tokens as reserved for longer-term merchant efforts with no explicit cadence; linear modeling enables monthly series; will revise if official schedule is published.
- Token Sales: 12B were already liquid by 2019-04-25 and 4.5B unlocked on 2020-01-04; the remaining 3.5B are modeled as linear 2021-01-05 through 2045-12-31.
Flexa did not publish a precise schedule for the residual sale allocation; modeling aligns totals with the stated 20% sale allocation while flagging low confidence.
- Staking rewards funded by protocol fees (buybacks) are redistributions, not new issuance, so no separate 'staking emissions' allocation is included.
Flexa’s materials describe rewards sourced from transaction fees and buybacks; no inflation or PoS/PoW issuance for AMP.
