Introducing Amped Finance

In the rapidly evolving DeFi landscape, finding platforms that balance innovation with security can be challenging. Today, we're excited to introduce Amped Finance — a cutting-edge DeFi platform built on Sonic Network that combines battle-tested infrastructure with forward-thinking vision to amplify your capital.

Since our deployment in February 2025, we've achieved remarkable traction:

• 10,000+ active users on Sonic Network
• $200M+ in trading volume
• $650K+ in protocol fees generated

Built on Proven Foundations

At Amped Finance, we believe in starting with a solid foundation. Our platform is forked from GMX V1, meaning our smart contracts are battle-hardened and thoroughly audited. Rather than reinventing the wheel, we've made minimal, strategic changes to this proven architecture, allowing us to focus on optimization and user experience.

This approach provides our users with the confidence that comes from established security patterns while still enjoying the benefits of a modern DeFi platform tailored specifically for the Sonic ecosystem. For those interested in our security practices, our comprehensive security audit is available in our documentation.

Key Features

Amped Finance offers a comprehensive suite of DeFi functionality:

• Asset Swaps: Seamlessly exchange between popular assets including S, WETH, ANON, stS, USDC, and scUSD with minimal slippage
• Leveraged Trading: Access up to 10x leverage on S, WETH, ANON, and stS to amplify your trading strategies
• Yield Generation: Provide liquidity through ALP purchases to earn sustainable yields from protocol fees and trading activity

Each feature is designed with both security and usability in mind, creating an accessible yet powerful DeFi experience.

The ALP Liquidity Pool: Strategic Asset Selection

Central to our platform is the ALP token, representing our carefully curated liquidity pool. We've made conscious decisions about which assets to include, creating balanced market exposure that benefits both traders and liquidity providers.

What sets our ALP apart is our strategic selection of boosted assets that qualify for the Sonic airdrop program. By participating in Amped Finance, users are simultaneously earning toward the future $S token distribution — effectively stacking yield and future opportunities.

Deep Sonic Integration

As a platform built specifically for the Sonic Network, we're deeply integrated with the ecosystem:

• Fee Monetization Program: We participate in Sonic's Fee Monetization program, earning back fees based on network usage, which directly enhances platform sustainability.
• Seamless Liquidity: We're integrated with all popular DEX aggregators including Fly, Odos, and KyberSwap, ensuring maximum accessibility and competitive rates.
• High-Performance Infrastructure: Our high-frequency price feed is supported by Pyth Network, while our platform relies on Goldsky for subgraphs and Dwellir for RPC nodes — ensuring reliability and performance at every level.

Most of our volume comes through swaps at highly competitive rates, making us one of the most efficient liquidity venues in the ecosystem.

Our Vision: The Future of DeFi

While we're proud of what we've built so far, Amped Finance is just getting started. We're currently in a liquidity bootstrapping phase, laying the groundwork for what comes next.

The AMP Token & Governance

Soon, we'll be launching the AMP token, which will provide holders with:

• Direct revenue sharing from platform fees
• Participation in platform governance
• Additional utility within the expanding Amped ecosystem

This token launch will mark our transition from bootstrapping to a community-owned financial platform that rewards participants at every level.

AI-Driven DeFi: Where We're Heading

What truly sets Amped Finance apart is our vision for the intersection of AI and DeFi. We believe autonomous agents will play a crucial role in the future of finance, and we're building with this future in mind:

• Agent-Friendly Design: Our "AX" (Agent Experience) philosophy guides our development, ensuring our platform is accessible not just to human users but to autonomous agents.
• AI Endpoints: We're developing MCP server integration and HeyAnon compatibility, allowing AI agents to interact directly with our protocol — trading with leverage or yield farming without human intervention.
• AI-Informed Liquidity Management: We utilize artificial intelligence to develop sophisticated vault curation strategies, carefully managing the ratio of volatile to stable assets based on market conditions.

This AI-driven approach helps us minimize impermanent loss for liquidity providers while maximizing fee generation — a win-win that's reflected in our performance metrics.

Performance That Speaks for Itself

Among Sonic DEX protocols, Amped Finance has quickly established itself as a top performer. When considering our TVL-to-performance ratio, we're likely the highest performer in the ecosystem. This efficiency demonstrates the effectiveness of our technical approach and strategic decision-making.

You can verify our performance metrics through independent platforms:

• DefiLlama - Track our TVL and other key metrics
• Amped Stats - Detailed platform statistics showing user activity and volume
