The trusted settlement layer for AI agents
The financial layer of the AI-agent economy is being built now. Amadeus is the confidential L1 where agents run and settle. Live since March 2025, no premine. Take a founding seat: earn by contributing compute, staking AMA, or both.
Set it up yourself, or we set it up for you. Same seat either way.
You have the hardware and the ops team. Spin up a node and pick your path: compute, stake, or both. Then start earning from a live network.
You want the seat without standing up the infrastructure. We handle the setup and get your node live on the network, then stay close while it runs.
Take a seat early and you plug into the network and its distribution.
For selected partners, Amadeus upfronts the 1,000,000 AMA that qualifies a validator for staking rewards. You take a seat and start earning without committing that capital yourself. Terms and duration are agreed with you up front.
Join a workgroup and shape commission ranges, emission splits, and network parameters while they're still being written.
A permanent place among the named founding operators, ahead of the wider network.
In before launch and listing, when influence is easiest to shape.
A named place on the AMA Hub and in the ecosystem directory, in front of an audience that is already building.
A starting allocation of Hub and compute credits to build and run agents on Amadeus.
Three ways a validator earns on Amadeus. Uptime is what pays.
Charge a 0–10% fee on the staking rewards delegated to you. Recurring, scales with your delegated stake, and fixed within an epoch so delegators always know their net.
Stake AMA in LockupVaults for a fixed APY, locked at creation. Earn on your own stake, delegated stake, or a mix.
Run Useful Proof of Work, real AI compute, and earn from the solver emission every epoch. Hardware only, no AMA required.
Tiers fixed at vault creation; the 12-month tier carries a +5% bonus until epoch 1150. APY shown gross of any validator fee. Rewards depend on network stake and compute. Nothing here is financial advice.
The yield is only half of what a seat returns. The other half is reach, into an audience that is already building on Amadeus.
Founding Partners are featured across the AMA Hub and the ecosystem directory, in front of an audience that is already building and running agents.
Attention concentrates around the September launch, when traffic to the Hub peaks. Seats held going into it carry that exposure.
The people who meet your brand here are builders and teams shipping agents or the infra that connects it. Today they are users. Next they are your customers, integration partners and the people who route volume to you.
Agent and user figures are current AMA Hub totals. The launch figure is additional users we are planning and building for, not a guarantee.
The timing is baked into the protocol, not a sales line.
Small, named, and it fills once. The earliest seats carry the most weight.
Contribute to the future of an open agent economy.
Only set members are paid. Every epoch you are out is lost accrual.
APY locks at creation; the +5% 12-month bonus ends at epoch 1150.
Earn validator fees for securing the network and powering AI models.
Get on the network quickly with minimal setup, relying on a network of expert operators.
One seat, many reasons to hold it.
Top 33 solvers by compute, plus any validator backed by ≥ 1M AMA in vaults. Same node either way.
You have hardware to spare. No AMA required.
You hold AMA or can attract delegation.
The happy path on a fresh Linux box. Full steps in the docs.
# 1. Confirm your CPU has AVX512 (must print "avx512") lscpu | grep -o avx512 | head -1 # 2. Open the node's port sudo ufw allow 36969/udp # 3. Grab the latest node release (v1.5.5+), verify it, run it # Download from github.com/amadeusprotocol/node/releases sha256sum amadeusd # compare to the releases page chmod +x amadeusd ./amadeusd # first launch begins syncing
Then set up a systemd service and, for the vault path, stake via wallet.ama.one. Full setup guide →
From first conversation to live seat. Three steps, we do it with you.
Tell us who you are and how you'd validate. A 20-minute call to scope fit and delegation size. Not a form into the void.
We set the node up for you, or support you standing it up yourself, and get you running on testnet then mainnet. If you are a selected partner, we size the upfronted stake at this point too.
You join the active set, start earning commission from day one, and get your founding listing and partner perks.
Not always. For selected partners, Amadeus upfronts the 1,000,000 AMA that qualifies a validator for staking rewards, so you start earning without committing that capital yourself. Terms and duration are agreed up front. Otherwise the uPoW path needs only hardware and no AMA, and the vault path needs 1M staked, which can be your own, delegated, or a mix.
It is a launch-phase boost. Over time you grow your own delegation book and keep your seat via your own or delegated stake. Duration is agreed up front. No surprises.
Setup can go either way. Either you stand it up yourself, or we do it for you and get you live on the network. Once it is running we agree the operating arrangement with you, in-house or handled with our help. Uptime is what pays, so it is worth settling this early.
Commission is earned on delegated stake, so it doesn't lock any capital of yours. If you choose to add your own stake, vaults use fixed 3/6/12-month tiers with a 21-day unlock window. Adding your own stake is optional.
Yes. An optional 0–10% fee on the staking rewards delegated to you, fixed within an epoch so delegators always know their net. It's a key lever for attracting delegation.
You can do a full dry run on testnet first, then move to mainnet. If we are doing the setup, time-to-live is mostly on us. If you are standing it up yourself, it depends on your own infrastructure.
Tell us who you are and how you'd like to validate. We read every application ourselves and reply personally. This starts a conversation, not a queue.
We use your details only to assess your application and get in touch about the Validator Program.
Set it up yourself, or we set it up for you. Founding partners get a governance seat and distribution, and selected partners get the 1M AMA upfronted. Agreed with you directly.
