How Ampleforth works
Ampleforth is a set of smart contracts for the AMPL coin.
Rebasing
Rebasing mechanism can be called by anyone. The effect can only happen once every 24 hours.
Supply increase
- When the price goes above $1 a rebasing mechanism can be called to increase supply.
- Supply and demand will then make AMPL drop in price.
Supply decrease
- When price goes below $1 a rebasing mechanism can be called to decrease supply.
- Supply and demand will then make AMPL increase in price.
Oracle
At launch, tracking the price in relation to $1 will have a trusted whitelist of sources and the value will be the volume-weighted median between them.
Ownership
If you have AMPL equal to 1% of the total supply you will always have 1% of the total supply, regardless of rebases.
