Drawdown From All-Time High
Price Action
25/25
100%
How far the price sits below its peak. Deep drawdowns are common to abandoned and post-collapse tokens, but also to assets in a prolonged bear market — on its own this measures price history, not conduct.
Volume Anomaly

What the contract allows
Ethereum · measured 2026-09-09
Amp’s deployed contract grants its owner 1 privilege that can affect your position. These are properties of the code itself, not allegations about anyone’s conduct — many legitimate projects retain them deliberately.
Owner can mint new tokens
Supply is not fixed; new tokens can be created, diluting existing holders.
Checked and not present: change any wallet balance, pause all transfers, blacklist wallets, ownership can be reclaimed after renouncing, contract has a hidden owner, contract can self-destruct.
Source code: published and verified, so the deployed bytecode can be independently reviewed.

How we counted holders here
Ten largest wallets
61.9%
including custodial
Largest private wallets
58.6%
after excluding 2
2 of Amp’s ten largest holders are labelled exchange, market-maker, treasury or vesting, liquidity-pool, staking, bridge, multisig or burn addresses — supply that is custodied, pooled or destroyed rather than sitting in one person’s wallet. Separating them out moves the top-10 figure by 3.3 points. We report the private-wallet figure because that is the supply someone can actually choose to sell today.
Wallets excluded from the top 10
| Address | Classified as | Label | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0xf977…acec | Exchange wallet | Binance 8 | 3.61% |
| 0xafcd…c5da | Exchange wallet | Gemini · Gemini: Cold Wallet | 3.03% |
Classification applied to the 100 holder records returned for this contract; 87 remained after exclusions · measured 2026-08-30. Custodial wallets are identified by public address labels, so an unlabelled one may still be counted as private — this correction is a floor, not a guarantee.
