SPOT price

$SPOT is the world’s first decentralized Low-Volatility Asset (LVA), designed as an AMPL-based financial primitive. What makes LVAs special? SPOT stands out from cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and, particularly, centralized, fiat-backed stablecoins. It achieves true decentralization, inflation resistance at the protocol level (thanks to $AMPL), and predictably lower volatility. SPOT accomplishes this all without having to rely on any peg mechanics or lenders of last resort. Can a token have predictably lower volatility without a peg or stability mechanism? Yes, and here is how: When users deposit AMPL into the Rotation Vault, it creates two new derivatives through a process called tranching. One of SPOT, the low-volatility senior tranche, and the other is stAMPL, a high-volatility junior tranche. The Vault holds the stAMPL and serves as a continuously rotating basket of collateral that backs SPOT. As an LVA, SPOT incorporates volatility-transformed supply dynamics inherent to AMPL’s daily rebases, translating volatility into controlled and predictable price behavior without the need for collateral backing or artificial pegs. Its innovative funding rate dynamically redistributes value between SPOT and stAMPL: positive funding rates reward SPOT holders during bullish market conditions. In contrast, negative rates incentivize stAMPL holders in bearish periods, naturally promoting system equilibrium. The pioneering approach above positions SPOT uniquely as a reliable store of value for risk-averse investors, DeFi treasuries seeking stable, inflation-resistant reserves, and any user desiring a consistent, dependable medium of exchange. By integrating decentralization, automated incentive mechanisms, and market-driven equilibrium, SPOT effectively defines what LVAs can and should be. It empowers Ampleforth ecosystem users to strategically manage exposure to crypto-economic volatility and stability within a fully transparent and decentralized financial framework.

In the past ten years, the opportunity for Bitcoin has a very high degree of certainty. Even Nvidia, ten years ago, did not have such strong certainty. It is difficult to predict the direction of the industry and the competition of peers. Just like today's Intel, it was a brother ten years ago, and it is no longer good today. Only Bitcoin, if you have a little knowledge of economics, you could understand it ten years ago, and today it is firm.

BTC is just an ordinary tradable speculative asset, I don't know what's so great about it. It's not like you developed the project; if you didn't know better, you'd think you were Satoshi Nakamoto. There are plenty of assets that have increased more than BTC; do those assets get the same hype? Looking back to 2022, BTC increased by 7 times, while other assets went up by more than 10 times, and their trends weren't as torturous. Which one would you buy?

SPOT v5 is now live. The dashboard labels the Funding Rate (formerly known as the “Enrichment Rate”). What’s unchanged? The underlying value-transfer formula that moves yield between SPOT (stability) and stAMPL (high volatility). 1. Positive rates pay $SPOT holders 2. Negative rates subsidize $stAMPL holders What did change? Before v5, the funding transfer was executed only when weekly tranche rotations were successful; if rotations stalled, enrichment and debasement also stalled. v5 breaks that link, allowing the Funding Rate to run independently, thereby keeping incentives alive even in cases of heavy imbalance. Additionally, all protocol fees now scale with the deviation ratio (DR): actions that pull the system toward equilibrium are inexpensive (or even free), while moves that push DR away incur higher costs. That makes costs transparent and self-balancing. Lastly, 100% of fees now flow to stAMPL depositors, the biggest and most widely supported change of SPOT v5, boosting returns for risk-takers. Overall, SPOT v5 is an efficiency upgrade: - Clearer language: Enrichment Rate → Funding Rate - Continuous value flow that is decoupled from rotations - Smarter fees & better incentives Track the live Funding Rate and explore the new flows at
