Amp is a digital collateral token built on Ethereum, designed to provide instant, verifiable assurance for value transfers. It utilizes a system of collateral partitions and manager smart contracts to secure transactions. These partitions can be assigned to specific accounts or transactions, with balances verifiable directly on-chain.

The token facilitates fast and irreversible transaction finality for various asset use cases, such as payments. Its ecosystem enables flexible collateralization models, including predefined partition strategies that allow staking without moving tokens from their original address.
