what's Ampleforth?
Ampleforth is a synthetic commodity money protocol designed to maintain purchasing power stability against a CPI-adjusted US dollar through elastic supply adjustments. Its native token, AMPL, undergoes daily "rebase" events that expand or contract total supply based on deviation from the target price, aiming for unit-of-account properties without pegging to fiat reserves. The protocol uses algorithmic mechanisms to target price stability while remaining decentralized and non-collateralized. AMPL serves as a base money layer for DeFi applications, with governance via the FORTH token. It pioneered rebasing tokens, influencing subsequent elastic supply designs in crypto.
