AMPA is an interoperable Pan-African settlement asset, live and active on the XRP Ledger. It is being designed as a settlement unit based on a basket of African currencies, with the aim of letting African trade settle without passing through the dollar. Reserve backing is not yet operational. Not adapted for Africa. Built for Africa. Designed to unify 54 currency zones and serve 1.4 billion people with sub-3-second settlement at less than 1% total corridor cost.

Independent Review — Planned
⏳ Planned — reviewer not yet engaged · No report date announced
We plan to commission an independent technical review of the AMPA issuance setup on the XRP Ledger and of the AXIP smart contracts on BotChain, and a legal opinion on the structure is expected in November 2026. Reviewers have not yet been engaged. We will publish what we can once each review is complete, and will state the scope and date on this page when they are confirmed.

African cross-border payments are routed through a correspondent banking system built around the continent, not for it. Sending money to and within Africa is slow and expensive. Remittances to Sub-Saharan Africa cost 8.16% on average (World Bank, Q4 2024), against a global average of 6.26%. AMPA was built to change that.
"Remittance senders to Sub-Saharan Africa pay 8.16% on average — more than twice the UN Sustainable
Development Goal target of 3%. The gap is not a market failure. It is a routing failure."

01
Proof-of-Reserve (planned)
Planned: checks of vault collateralization before value moves, with results recorded on BotChain for regulators to verify. None of this is live yet. Activation planned with the Ghana Hub — timing to be announced.
02
Chain-Agnostic Settlement
Primary on XRPL. Interoperable with Stellar, EVM chains, and Cosmos IBC. One settlement asset, every
rail — no re-issuance, no fragmentation, no basis risk between versions.
03
Sovereign Rate Execution
Paired with AXIP intelligence agents, every AMPA settlement executes at the Sovereign Rate — the best
available price for a given corridor at that exact moment, negotiated automatically (design goal, not yet live).
04
54-Jurisdiction AML/KYC Compliance Oracle
Designed for real-time compliance screening across all active African corridors — to be activated as
each corridor goes live. Ghana Hub engagement with the Bank of Ghana regulatory framework is planned — timing to be announced. We are at the start of this project — regulatory engagement is planned, not yet active.
Pass/hold decisions recorded immutably. Any regulator can audit independently.
As the blockchain settlement
landscape evolves, AMPA remains the constant African settlement asset. Integrating a new rail requires no
changes to AMPA's core contracts — the intelligence adapts, the infrastructure endures.
0202 — Protocol Symbiosis
AMPA × AXIP The Complete Sovereign Stack
Two protocols. One mission. AMPA provides the settlement asset. AXIP provides the intelligence.
Neither is complete without the other. Together they are designed to form a sovereign Pan-African financial infrastructure
— designed to become a standard that payment applications, banks, and fintechs operating in Africa can integrate.

Why AMPA is Built for Africa
High cross-border costs persist because existing solutions were built for Western markets and retrofitted. Traditional banking rails: slow settlement, an 8.16% average remittance cost to Sub-Saharan Africa (World Bank, Q4 2024), and limited reserve transparency. AMPA was purpose-built for Africa — not an afterthought.

04 — How It Works
From initiation to settlement in seconds
Every AMPA transfer powered by AXIP follows the same
pipeline — negotiated, verified, routed, and settled. The design targets fast negotiation and settlement within seconds on the XRP Ledger; this is a design goal, not yet live at scale.
01
Transfer Initiated
A user, fintech, or institution initiates a cross-border payment across any of 54 supported
African corridors. AMPA is the settlement asset — accepted across all integrated rails from a single issuance.
02
AXIP Rate Negotiation
AXIP Rate Agents simultaneously scan private institutional market maker pools and public
XRPL DEX liquidity — computing the Sovereign Rate for the specific corridor in a design target of under a second. No intermediary is intended to decide your rate.
03
Proof-of-Reserve Verified
Once reserve backing exists, AXIP PoR Agents are designed to check vault collateralization before value moves. Pass/hold decisions are intended to be recorded on BotChain for regulators to verify. Activation planned with the Ghana Hub — timing to be announced.
04
Optimal Path Selected
Dynamic Routing Agents compute the optimal multi-hop path across XRPL, Stellar, EVM, or
Cosmos IBC — minimizing total cost across fees, spread, and time simultaneously. Chain-agnostic. The full pipeline is designed to complete quickly; timing is a target, not a measured result.
05
BotChain Execution & Burn
All agentic logic executes on BotChain's native EVM in a design target of under a second. 25% of the AXIP used in each operation is intended to be burned. The terms will be set in the deployed contracts, which are not yet deployed.
∞
The Economic Flywheel
More AMPA volume → more AXIP operations and a small AMPA Settle burn on each transfer → AXIP burned per operation → stronger network economics → more corridor adoption → more AMPA volume. The burn is a service mechanism that recycles a small share of usage. It is not a promise of scarcity or price appreciation.
0505 — Tokenomics
AMPA Token Economics — The 100B Standard
AMPA is Africa's settlement asset on the XRP Ledger, designed to become reserve-backed, with a usage-linked burn: AMPA Settle (ampasettle.com), the payment software, sends 0.1% of each transfer it settles back to the issuer (tested, not yet live). The 100B supply is calibrated for
high-frequency settlement across 54 African currency pairs while maintaining meaningful per-unit value. The burn scales with real transfer volume through the service.

0.1%AMPA Settle Burn · Per Transfer
AMPA Settle (ampasettle.com) is the payment software that processes AMPA transfers. On each transfer it settles, it sends 0.1% back to the issuer on the XRP Ledger, which removes it from supply. This is a rule in AMPA Settle, not enforced by the ledger, so payments sent outside AMPA Settle are not burned. Tested on the XRPL test network, not yet live. Illustration only: at 1B AMPA of daily transfer volume, 1M AMPA would be burned daily. It is not a promise of scarcity or price.

AMPA Settle Burn — Tested
AMPA Settle (ampasettle.com) is the payment software that processes AMPA transfers. On each transfer it settles, it sends 0.1% back to the AMPA issuer on XRPL, which retires it from supply. This is a rule in AMPA Settle, not enforced by the ledger, so payments sent outside AMPA Settle are not burned. Tested on the XRPL test network, not yet live. The AXIP burn is a separate mechanism for the AXIP token only.
Stability Fund Burns — Under Consideration
Discretionary burns from the 10B Stability & Burn Fund are under consideration. Rules, timing and amounts are not decided and are not commitments.
Buy-Back Burns — Under Consideration
Using protocol revenue to buy and burn AMPA is under consideration. No protocol revenue exists yet, and this is not a commitment.

0808 — Use Cases
Where AMPA moves value
01 — Diaspora Remittances
Sending money home should not cost 8%
Cameroonians in Paris sending to Douala. Nigerians in London sending to Lagos. Ghanaians in
New York sending to Accra. AMPA is designed to eliminate the predatory spread between the available market rate and what
African families actually receive — replacing it with the Sovereign Rate, every time.
02 — SME Trade Finance
Pan-African commerce without correspondent banking
Traders settling invoices across CEMAC, ECOWAS, and EAC zones without 2–5 day settlement
delays or opaque intermediary rates. AMPA enables same-corridor settlement at the Sovereign Rate with
planned real-time reserve verification — removing the friction that has strangled intra-African trade for decades.
03 — Institutional Infrastructure
The settlement layer beneath African fintech
AXIP is not a payment app. It is the intelligence layer beneath payment apps. Flutterwave,
Wave, Chipper Cash, Zynta, M-Pesa — AMPA is designed as the settlement asset they could integrate beneath their products,
replacing fragmented correspondent relationships with a single sovereign settlement asset and AXIP
intelligence.
04 — Development Finance
Sovereign-grade infrastructure for institutional capital
Development banks, multilateral institutions, and sovereign wealth funds allocating capital
across African markets need settlement infrastructure that meets institutional standards — planned Proof-of-Reserve checks,
on-chain auditability, regulatory compliance oracles, and immutable transaction records. AMPA is designed to deliver it.

What is AMPA and how is it different from USDT or USDC?
▼
AMPA is a settlement asset on the XRP Ledger. It is not a stablecoin today. It is being designed as a settlement unit based on a basket of African currencies, with the aim of letting African trade settle without passing through the dollar. The design targets include 1:1 reserve backing and programmatic peg defense, plus a 0.1% burn on transfers settled through AMPA Settle. None of this reserve backing is operational yet. USDT and USDC are USD-denominated, so every African intra-corridor trade using them incurs USD exchange risk twice. Reserve architecture activates corridor by corridor beginning with the Ghana Hub (timing to be announced).
Is AMPA live? Where can I verify it?
▼
Yes — AMPA is live and active on the XRP Ledger right now. Verify the issuer address directly on XRPScan ↗ or Bithomp ↗. Issuer: r9h1Q4XLDdd34EDyrzjYhJMb4CcpBiNtHc
What is AXIP and how does it relate to AMPA?
▼
AXIP is a separate native token on BotChain.ai — the intelligence layer that powers AMPA settlements. AXIP
is being designed to handle rate negotiation, Proof-of-Reserve checks and dynamic routing for AMPA transfers. These are planned and not yet live. AXIP is designed so that 25% of the AXIP used in each operation is burned (intended, not yet live). AMPA is the settlement currency; AMPA Settle (ampasettle.com), the payment software that processes AMPA transfers, sends 0.1% of each transfer it settles back to the issuer, which retires it from supply. That rule lives in AMPA Settle and is not enforced by the ledger, so payments sent outside AMPA Settle are not burned. Tested on the XRPL test network, not yet live. Two tokens. Two chains. One sovereign African financial stack. Learn
more at afroaxis.io ↗
What do Diaspora Anchors stake — AMPA or AXIP?
▼
Diaspora Anchors stake AMPA tokens. Three tiers: Regional Agent (500,000 AMPA — 0.04% routing reward per tx),
Diaspora Anchor (2,000,000 AMPA — 0.05%), Continental Hub (5,000,000 AMPA — 0.06%). Routing rewards are planned to be paid from partner fees; the fee model is not yet live. All tiers are chain-agnostic from a single staked AMPA position.
Slashing for failed PoR attestations is planned; rules are not yet set.
How is AMPA regulated?
▼
Africa Money Ventures is at the start of this project. Regulatory engagement with the Bank of Ghana is planned — timing to be announced, not yet active. CEMAC/COBAC engagement is planned for Q4 2026. Regulatory compliance is
architected into the protocol from the ground up. The 5% Regulatory Compliance allocation (5B AMPA) is
ring-fenced for AML/KYC oracle maintenance, legal counsel, and sandbox fees across 54 jurisdictions.
Which blockchains does AMPA support?
▼
AMPA is issued natively on the XRP Ledger (primary — live). Stellar is planned for lower-volume corridors and
development finance. EVM-compatible chains are planned for DeFi liquidity access. Cosmos IBC is planned for
future interchain routing. AXIP's routing agents dynamically select the optimal chain — no re-issuance
required across rails.
What happens if reserve backing fails?
▼
Reserve backing is not yet operational. Once it is, the design has three protection layers: (1) AXIP Proof-of-Reserve agents are designed to check custodial vaults before each transaction and hold a transfer if a shortfall is detected. (2) The 10B AMPA Stability Fund is intended as liquidity of last resort. (3) Emergency controls, still to be defined, are intended to let the project respond if a reserve anomaly is detected. We intend to publish reserve audits on-chain once reserves are live; timing will be announced.

"Africa Money Protocol (AMPA) is an interoperable Pan-African settlement asset issued on the XRP Ledger. AMPA is designed to unify 54 African currency zones, targeting sub-3-second settlement at less than 1% total corridor cost, with reserve architecture designed for full backing by a basket of African currency reserves. Reserve backing, regulatory engagement and the Ghana Hub are planned and not yet active; timing will be announced. AMPA is designed to be orchestrated by AXIP (Afro-Axis Protocol), a separate token on BotChain.ai that provides rate negotiation, Proof-of-Reserve audits and routing, with mainnet deployment targeted for November 16, 2026 and a token generation event date to be announced.
