Ethereum is a blockchain-based computing platform and operating system whose core innovation is enabling smart contracts. Ethereum's smart contract functionality, and versatile scripting language, have made it the most popular network for creating decentralized applications. What makes Ethereum different from Bitcoin is that its primary purpose is to serve as a general purpose blockchain for creating DApps, and not as a payment network. Ethereum was created by Vitalik Buterin. It was launched in July 2015 and has become one of the most important blockchain platforms in the industry. Ether is the native currency of the Ethereum blockchain and can can be used as a transfer of value, as well as a form of compensation for mining. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) executes scripts using a network of public nodes. "Gas" is used as an internal transaction pricing mechanism that decides how resources are used on the network.

The Amp token is a digital collateral token that is specifically designed to enable the decentralized collateralization of digital asset transactions. It evolved from what was previously known as the Flexacoin network, and is meant to allow the token to better facilitate recent innovations related to borrowing and lending in the DeFi space. The Amp token's supply was created by burning the existing supply of Flexacoins, which were exchanged for the new token at a rate of 1:1. Amp will improve upon Flexacoin’s collateralization features with a new architecture that will allow for the implementation of additional on-chain supply operations and more collateral-related DeFi options.

The Ampleforth token is a cryptocurrency with a variable supply. The total number of Ampleforth tokens in circulation changes daily and is adjusted according to the overall demand. The Ampleforth protocol is non-dilutive and ensures that the adjustments in supply that result in response to changes in demand occur proportionally across all the wallets in the network. This ensures that the percentage of each token holders overall ownership of the network remains stable, despite the adjustments in the overall token supply. The protocol is designed to reduce the correlation of the price of Ampleforth to the price of Bitcoin.
