Enter Amp:
When using Amp as collateral, transfers of value are guaranteed against fraud and default while settling instantly
With over 21B Amp staked, the current spending capacity on the Flexa network is over $80M 🤯

1️⃣ Stakers lock Amp in a smart contract to collateralize payments
2️⃣ Spenders pay recipients using their asset of choice. Since collateral is locked in smart contracts, Flexa or any entity that interacts off-chain can instantly authorizes the transaction.

3️⃣ Once the transferred asset settles, the collateral is released back to the collateral pool and stakers paid a fee for securing the transaction

As of today, staking Flexa enables spending of more than 99 different digital assets including $BTC, $ETH, $LTC, $DAI, $CUSD, $ALGO or $DOGE at merchants like Chipotle, Baskin-Robbins, Nordstrom and more
