Frequently asked questions
What is Wrapped Ampleforth (WAMPL) and how does it differ from AMPL?
WAMPL is a wrapped version of AMPL, meaning it represents AMPL tokens in an ERC-20 format. While AMPL has an elastic supply that adjusts based on demand, WAMPL is a fixed-supply token that allows AMPL to interact with Ethereum-based DeFi platforms.
How does the technology behind WAMPL work?
WAMPL uses a wrapping mechanism to convert AMPL into an ERC-20 token. This process involves locking AMPL tokens in a smart contract, which then mints an equivalent amount of WAMPL, enabling seamless integration with Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem.
How is WAMPL issued and what controls its supply?
WAMPL is issued when AMPL tokens are locked in a smart contract, creating a 1:1 representation. The supply of WAMPL is fixed and does not adjust like AMPL’s elastic supply, ensuring stability for DeFi applications.
How can I store and use WAMPL?
WAMPL can be stored in any Ethereum-compatible wallet, such as MetaMask or Ledger. It’s primarily used in DeFi platforms for lending, borrowing, or liquidity provision, leveraging Ethereum’s ecosystem.
