Amp development update #3
Official contract address and source code release
In advance of Amp’s release on the Ethereum mainnet this Tuesday, the Amp token contract has been verified on Etherscan and its source code has been released on GitHub. Read on for more details and news of what’s next.
Published and verified on Etherscan
To ensure that network participants can mint their Amp tokens safely and confidently at Amp’s release on Tuesday, September 8, 2020, the official Amp token contract has now been published and verified on Etherscan.
Now and forever, the official Amp contract address on the Ethereum mainnet is 0xfF20817765cB7f73d4bde2e66e067E58D11095C2.
Please note that there is no other officially supported implementation of the Amp token contract, and that this contract address is the only Amp token that will be supported within Flexa Capacity or any other implementations of Amp collateral managers (as corroboration, this contract address has also been published to the official Amp Twitter, Discord, and website).
Between now and Amp’s release on Tuesday, September 8, 2020, please beware of fraudsters who may try to convince you to accept alternative Amp tokens, which are likely worthless, and cannot be used with apps like Flexa Capacity. For your security, always ensure that you are interacting with the official Amp token contract only and verify your transactions on Etherscan or confirm the Amp contract address on Twitter or Discord before transacting.
Amp is now open source
In conjunction with publishing the Amp token contracts to Etherscan, the audited smart contracts for the Amp token and Flexa collateral manager contract have been open-sourced.
The Amp token contracts source code is now available on GitHub as an open-source standard under the MIT License—one of the most permissible licenses for free and open source software.
In addition, Flexa has released the Flexa collateral manager source code on GitHub. The Flexa collateral manager source has also been made available under the MIT License, and can be freely used, copied, modified, etc. as long as the original license is followed and remains intact.
Together, these contracts represent everything needed for developers to build and test new collateral use cases on Amp. Of note, the Flexa collateral manager is not simply a reference implementation of the Amp interface for the Flexa network. Instead, this source is the exact production code that Flexa uses to secure payments on the Flexa network with Amp, and represents the culmination of years of research and development, now made freely available for other developers to adopt, iterate on, and improve for their own use cases.
Any developers interested in exploring Amp’s capabilities for collateralization are encouraged to explore the Amp documentation and API reference and to join other developers on Discord to collaborate and ask questions.
What’s next?
With less than four days to go before Amp’s release on the Ethereum mainnet, there are still many more updates to come. To stay in the loop, be sure to follow Amp on Twitter or join the official Discord server for updates.
