The stack
Three revenue streams. one position.
Most liquidity programs give you one reason to stake. ALP gives you three — and the airdrop alone covers the time-value of the lock.
Every perpetual trade on Amara generates fees. The majority flows to LPs in real time — not the protocol treasury, not a governance vault. You.
Amara runs a house-vs-traders model. When leveraged positions liquidate, the LP pool captures the upside. Volatility is your tailwind, not your risk.
Early LPs receive AMARA tokens at a fixed $50M FDV reference, regardless of secondary market price. Get in before price discovery does.
The tiers
The earlier you move, the more you earn.
Airdrop allocation steps down as cumulative TVL crosses each threshold. The tier you enter at is locked into your schedule — no retroactive bumps when later tiers fill.
* Allocation formula: depositedUsd × tierBps × supply / (10000 × FDV). With supply = 1B AMARA and FDV = $50M, $1,000 at Tier 1 (5000 bps) = $1,000 × 0.5 × 1,000,000,000 / 50,000,000 = 10,000 AMARA. Tiers are global; the active tier is set by the depositing market's cumulative TVL at the moment of stake.
The math
What $1,000 actually earns you.
Three streams compounding from day one — plus a vesting schedule you don't have to babysit.
Floor case: airdrop alone returns 50% on principal at the FDV reference, before any trading fees or liquidation gains.
Vesting clock starts at deposit time, not at program-end. Schedules accumulate per stake — every additional deposit gets its own 180-day vest.
How it works
Four steps to activate all three streams.
Deposit into a whitelisted Amara market on the Pools page to mint AM (Amara Markets LP) tokens. You're contributing the long/short collateral that backs perpetual positions.
Open the ALP page, choose your market, approve and stake. The tier ladder is read from on-chain TVL the moment your tx lands — that's the tier that locks in for your position.
Trading fees and liquidation PnL accrue to your AM tokens continuously. Your AMARA airdrop schedule begins vesting immediately — 20% claimable, 80% unlocking linearly over 180 days.
After the lock matures, withdraw your AM tokens (now worth more from accumulated fees + PnL) and continue claiming any remaining vested AMARA.
Staked positions cannot be withdrawn until the lock matures. There is no soft-unstake, no early-exit penalty path, and no governance unlock. The only exception is an owner-only emergency unstake reserved for compromised wallets / regulatory cases, which sends funds to a recovery recipient (not back to the original wallet). Stake only what you can commit for the full period.
Why now
Tier 1 is open. the window is the TVL curve.
Allocations step down as cumulative TVL crosses each threshold — and they don't reset.
- The highest reward tier is open and accepting deposits today.
- Trading volume is still ramping — early LPs capture the first-trade share before competition arrives.
- Your tier locks in at deposit time. Later participants don't dilute your allocation; they just enter at a lower rate.
- Vesting starts immediately. Every day you wait is a day of unlock you don't get back.
- Carbon-credit perpetuals are a brand-new market category — Amara is the first protocol to bring real liquidity.
Once cumulative deposits cross $10,000 in any market, Tier 1 closes for that market and new stakes drop to Tier 2 (40%). Same logic at $25k, $50k, $100k. Each step is a one-way ratchet.
Final pitch
This is what it means to be early.
ALP isn't a passive yield farm. It's a position in the only protocol building real perpetuals infrastructure for the carbon-credit market — and the airdrop window prices early capital at a fraction of where the market will.
