SPOT is a perpetual note backed by fully collateralized AMPL derivatives. SPOT can be held directly as a refuge from inflation, used as a peer-to-peer digital cash, or held as alternative collateral to USDC within reserves. Its price will likely float within a range similar to AMPL and you can think of SPOT as a derivative that strips away most of AMPL's supply volatility.

For more about Spot, see the dedicated site
