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
Fixed supply and non‑inflationary design
Amp is designed as fixed‑supply collateral. The whitepaper emphasizes a non‑inflationary model: instead of minting new tokens for rewards, the system aims to use network economics (such as programmatic buy‑pressure and rewards funded from network activity) to compensate collateral providers over time. While public dashboards and explorers may show slightly different counts due to bridges and rounding, the core idea is simple: AMP’s supply is capped at just under 100 billion tokens and is not designed to inflate.

Distribution approach
Early documentation and ecosystem summaries describe a distribution focused on building payments utility: sizable portions for merchant development and developer grants, a pool for the founding team and employees, a network development fund, and a portion for token sales/private placements. The emphasis of this structure is to grow acceptance, integrations, and tooling around collateralized payments. (kando.tech)
Utility in practice
- Collateral for payments: securing instant payments on Flexa’s network.
- Collateral for apps: any project can create a collateral manager to back in‑app transfers or escrow.
- Stake‑in‑place: partitions let users commit AMP without losing custody, simplifying how third‑party apps tap collateral. (docs.amp.xyz)
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.
