Pendulum is delighted to announce the successful completion of the Amplitude crowdloan with more than 24 080 KSM (approximately $1 172 930) received from 604 contributors across the globe. This success means Amplitude now has a live Kusama parachain slot.
Welcome Amplitude
Amplitude will be the canary network of its sister blockchain, Pendulum. Amplitude & Pendulum aim to build the missing link between fiat and DeFi through a fiat-optimized smart contract blockchain. Fintech and forex providers will be able to integrate their fiat services with DeFi applications such as specialized forex AMMs, lending protocols and yield farming opportunities. Amplitude will act as a testing ground for applications & network parameters for Pendulum and be powered by the native AMPE token.
Welcome AMPE
AMPE token utilities include powering transactions, staking to secure the network & earn rewards and governing the protocol. Despite bearish market conditions, Amplitude had an impressively successful crowdloan campaign. This is perhaps due in part to the staunch community-first focus of the AMPE tokenomics. The Pendulum team decided to take no allocation of AMPE tokens for themselves or advisors. Token holders also benefit from AMPE having a 0% inflation rate with 100% of tokens being minted at launch.

Kusama Parachain Crowdloans
Parachain auctions see projects competing for one of Kusama’s 100 parachains. These parachains can be described as sharded sidechains that interact with the network’s main Relay Chain that supports transactions and network security. Auctions happen via crowdloans that give community members a chance to lock up KSM tokens and make a bid towards the parachain, often in exchange for rewards such as native protocol tokens.
