How to buy AMPH (Bootstrap Contract)

The Treasury Bootstrap System (0x268d16fBbCe5cc427e4b26478141302B408CceF7) allows users to convert $SNX, $CRV, $cvxCRV, $BAL or $USDA into $AMPH at a set proportional rate, during the bootstrap period. These assets will become protocol owned liquidity.

Step 1:

To interact with the contract, first select the token you wish to use for converting. The options and rates are as follows:

SNX (0xC011a73ee8576Fb46F5E1c5751cA3B9Fe0af2a6F) converts at the rate of 7 CRV worth of AMPH per SNX. cvxCRV (0x62B9c7356A2Dc64a1969e19C23e4f579F9810Aa7) converts at the rate of 0.68 CRV worth of AMPH per cvxCRV. BAL (0xba100000625a3754423978a60c9317c58a424e3D) converts at the rate of 7.2 CRV worth of AMPH per BAL. USDA (0xD842D9651F69cEBc0b2Cffc291fC3D3Fe7b5D226) converts at the rate of 2.31 CRV worth of AMPH per USDA. CRV (0xD533a949740bb3306d119CC777fa900bA034cd52) converts at the rate of 0.99 CRV worth of AMPH per CRV.

Notes: Each token has a cap of how many can be used during the sale. No purchase may exceed more than 1M AMPH issued in one purchase. SNX and USDA have bonus rates.

Step 2:

Navigate to the Etherscan page for the token you wish to use, for example SNX (https://etherscan.io/address/0xc011a73ee8576fb46f5e1c5751ca3b9fe0af2a6f#writeContract)

Under the Approve() function you'll enter the Treasury Bootstrap System (0x268d16fBbCe5cc427e4b26478141302B408CceF7) as the spender, and the amount of tokens you wish to approve in 1e18 format. Then click "write" to send the approve transaction.

Step 3:

Next you'll go to the Treasury Bootstrap Systems Etherscan page: https://etherscan.io/address/0x268d16fbbce5cc427e4b26478141302b408ccef7#code

Here under the function purchaseAMPH() you'll enter the token you are using to purchase (in our sample case $SNX) and the amount of that token you wish to spend in 1e18 format and then click "write" to send the transaction:

Since each transaction is limited to a limit of 1M AMPH, you may need to limit the amount you send. At current rates this means you can send a single transaction of no more than 5100 $SNX at one time. This is in place to prevent abuse. More about the rates and caps can be found under the "Treasury Bootstrap System" page.
