Amped Finance Unveils Cross-Chain Trading Interface: The Foundation of Amped V2
Amped Finance is launching its new trading interface powered by SODAX's Unified Liquidity Layer, marking the first major milestone in our Amped V2
roadmap.
This release brings seamless access to assets from 12 major blockchains and sets the stage for our ambitious vision of cross-chain token indices and
lending markets.
Trade Any Asset, From Any Chain, in Seconds
Through our integration with SODAX, Amped Finance now offers intent-based trading that connects you to the best liquidity across the entire crypto
ecosystem. Trade major L1 tokens like ETH, BTC, SOL, AVAX, BNB, XLM, INJ, SUI, and POL alongside stablecoins like USDC, USDT, and bnUSD – all through a
single, unified interface.
The magic happens through SODAX's solver network. When you place a trade, SODAX instantly sends you the asset you want (typically within 30 seconds), then
handles all the cross-chain routing and settlement behind the scenes. You get competitive prices aggregated from exchanges across 12 chains, with
transparent 0.2% trading fees and no complex bridging required.
From ALP Pool Blueprint to Multi-Chain Token Indices
Our ALP pool on Sonic has served as a successful blueprint for what we're building next. The ALP demonstrates how a carefully curated basket of assets can
provide balanced exposure to an entire ecosystem – in this case, assets native to the Sonic network. This proof of concept has shown strong demand for
simplified, diversified exposure to crypto ecosystems.
Now, with SODAX integration, we're taking this concept to the next level. The expanded range of cross-chain assets unlocks our ability to create
sophisticated token indices that span multiple ecosystems. We're not just limited to assets on a single chain anymore – we can build indices that capture
value across the entire crypto landscape.
Our vision extends beyond single-chain limitations. We plan to support token index baskets on multiple chains, including Sonic and LightLink, allowing
users to gain exposure to curated asset collections regardless of their preferred network. Whether you want exposure to major L1 tokens, DeFi blue chips,
or emerging ecosystem plays, Amped V2 will make it possible through simple, one-click index products.
Building Blocks for Comprehensive DeFi
This cross-chain liquidity access represents the critical first component of Amped V2. The diverse array of L1 token assets now available through our
interface will power our upcoming features:
Multi-Chain Token Indices: Building on our ALP pool success, we'll create diversified indices that automatically rebalance across BTC, ETH, SOL, and
other major chains. These liquidity pool tokens will serve dual purposes: providing exposure to diversified asset baskets while simultaneously acting as
productive collateral in our lending markets.
USDax Stablecoin & Overcollateralized Lending: These same assets will back USDax, our overcollateralized stablecoin built on proven lending
architecture. Users deposit liquidity pool tokens as collateral and borrow USDax at conservative 150% collateralization ratios, ensuring protocol solvency
while maximizing capital efficiency through our dual-purpose collateral model.
veAMPED Governance-Controlled Markets: Our progressive governance system allows veAMPED token holders to democratically onboard new collateral types.
Collateral starts at conservative 50% loan-to-value ratios and can earn higher LTV (up to 75%) through proven reliability metrics, creating a
trust-building mechanism that balances innovation with security.
Cross-Chain USDax via LayerZero: USDax will be natively omnichain, allowing seamless bridging between Sonic, Base, Arbitrum, and other supported
networks. Borrowers on any chain can access USDax liquidity while the protocol maintains unified risk management across all deployments.
A Trading Experience Built for DeFi's Future
Our new interface brings several improvements designed to make cross-chain trading seamless:
- Instant Quotes: Real-time pricing aggregated across all connected exchanges
- Fast Execution: Average trade completion in ~30 seconds
- Best Price Discovery: Access to optimal prices across 12 chains
- Unified Experience: Swap assets or move them between chains in one interface
- No Bridge Complexity: Let SODAX handle the cross-chain mechanics
The Amped V2 Roadmap
This trading interface launch initiates our transformation into a comprehensive DeFi platform. Over the coming months, we'll be rolling out:
- Dual-Purpose Liquidity Pool Indices: Launching with indices modeled after our successful ALP pool, expanded to cover multiple chains and
strategies. These LP tokens serve simultaneously as diversified exposure vehicles AND productive lending collateral – achieving 50% better capital
efficiency than traditional models. - USDax Stablecoin System: Overcollateralized stablecoin backed by liquidity pool tokens at 150% collateral ratios. Features demand-based minting
(only mint what borrowers need + safety buffer) rather than full-capacity minting, maximizing capital efficiency. - veAMPED Progressive Governance: Vote-escrowed AMPED token holders control collateral onboarding and risk parameters. New collateral types start at
conservative 50% LTV and can earn up to 75% LTV through demonstrated reliability, creating natural alignment between governance and protocol safety. - Multi-Layer Oracle Security: Flash-loan resistant oracle system with 1-hour TWAPs, ±10% deviation guards, and rate-of-change limits. Protects
against manipulation while maintaining price accuracy across all collateral types. - Cross-Chain USDax Infrastructure: LayerZero-powered omnichain deployment across Sonic (mainnet), Base, and Arbitrum. Unified risk management with
per-chain reserve balancing and automated bridge monitoring. - Advanced Position Management: Limit orders, DCA strategies, automated rebalancing, and liquidation protection mechanisms including ADAPT soft
liquidation system for protected borrowing tiers.
Each feature builds upon this unified liquidity foundation, creating compounding value for Amped users across all supported chains.
Redefining DeFi Accessibility Through Capital Efficiency
The ALP pool showed us that users want simplified access to diversified crypto exposure. With our new trading interface and SODAX integration, we're
delivering on that insight at scale. No more juggling multiple DEXs, bridges, and chains to build a balanced portfolio. Amped V2 brings everything
together in one place.
What sets Amped V2 apart is our dual-purpose collateral architecture: the same liquidity pool tokens that provide diversified exposure also serve as
productive collateral for USDax borrowing. Traditional models waste capital by requiring separate insurance funds that sit idle. Our approach achieves 67%
capital efficiency (vs. 44% in traditional models) by making every dollar work twice – earning yield from the liquidity pool AND enabling borrowing
capacity.
This is particularly powerful for users who want exposure to multiple ecosystems but don't want the complexity of managing assets across different chains.
Our token indices will offer curated, rebalancing exposure to the best opportunities in crypto, all managed through smart contracts and accessible with a
single transaction. Plus, those same index tokens unlock borrowing power without sacrificing your market exposure.

Our technical innovations – dual-purpose collateral, demand-based USDax minting, progressive veAMPED governance, multi-layer oracle security, and
cross-chain LayerZero infrastructure – combine to create a lending protocol that's both more capital-efficient and more secure than traditional
approaches. With conservative 150% collateralization and flash-loan resistant oracles, we're delivering institutional-grade risk management in a
decentralized, community-governed package.
