Find answers to common questions about Ample
Core
Ample is a prize-linked savings product where your deposit stays yours while generated yield funds weekly payouts.
Deposit funds, earn tickets based on eligible participation, and enter recurring payout cycles funded by yield.
Your principal is not used to fund rewards though normal smart contract and underlying protocol risks still apply.
Rewards come from generated yield on supported strategies (current ones include strategies on Euler and Morpho) with occasional Ample-funded boosts or campaign top-ups.
No, only selected eligible users receive payouts each cycle.
Your funds remain deposited and continue participating in future cycles unless you withdraw.
Ample turns standard yield into a chance at larger weekly outcomes instead of distributing tiny amounts evenly.
No, outcomes are variable and depend on the cycle's weighted payout results.
Ample is better described as prize-linked savings because your deposited funds remain yours while yield funds the upside.
Participation
Tickets represent your eligible participation in a cycle and help determine your chance of receiving a payout.
Tickets increase based on eligible balance, time in the pool, and any active boosts or cycle rules.
Your odds depend on your weighted participation — not just whether you deposited.
No, Ample uses weighted randomness so outcomes are random but influenced by participation weight.
The system is designed with weighting and payout structure choices that reduce pure winner-take-all dynamics.
Because higher participation improves odds but does not guarantee a payout in any single cycle.
Yes, though withdrawing can affect your current or future eligibility.
Ample uses TWAB (Time Weighted Average Balance), so your balance is weighted by how long it was in the pool during that cycle. In simple terms: the earlier you deposit, the more of that cycle counts toward your tickets and payout eligibility.
Yes, the app shows your tickets, eligibility status, cycle timing, and any active boosts.
Payouts
Ample runs on recurring payout cycles, typically every week.
Winners are selected through a weighted random process based on eligible participation and published onchain via merkle-rooted results. A detailed version of the exact methodology will be published in Ample docs.
The number depends on payout configuration and contract constraints for that cycle.
No, payout sizes can vary by tier and cycle design. A detailed version of the exact methodology will be published in Ample docs.
Your deposit may not have been fully eligible yet, your weight may have been lower, or the draw simply did not select you that cycle.
Yield, Transparency & Risk
Yield comes from underlying integrations like supported Euler and Morpho strategies that put deposited capital to work.
Ample uses verifiable randomness and published payout data to make draw outcomes auditable.
Yes, payout outputs are published onchain through merkle-rooted results for transparency and verification. You will soon be able to audit them yourselves in an upcoming /transparency dashboard.
Ample has been audited by Pashov and is built on top of audited infrastructure from Euler and Morpho. You can find the audit report on the Ample docs.
Supported assets and chains depend on the current live version of the app.
Ample carries smart contract, integration, market, and chain-level risks like any onchain product.
Rewards and rL3
rL3 is the reward token you earn on Ample through incentives.
Deposit into eligible Ample vaults and stay deposited while incentives are live.
20% unlocks instantly, and the remaining 80% vests linearly over 6 months.
Yes, but if you exit early, you only keep the portion that has already vested.
Any unvested rL3 is forfeited when you claim before the 6 month vesting period is complete.
In general, the more you deposit and the longer you stay deposited, the more rL3 you can earn.
