To continue the [democratization rollout](https://medium.com/pendulum-chain/amplitude-the-rollout-1ddc51a3f68f), the Amplitude core team are performing the following network upgrades over the following days.

## Step 1: Add Treasury, Collator Staking, and Multi-asset Handling via Runtime Upgrade

Using the sudo privileges, a runtime upgrade will be performed to:

- add a treasury on Amplitude via `pallet-treasury`, `pallet-bounties` and `pallet-child-bounties`
- add collator staking via `parachain-staking` but set up as the session manager for `pallet-session`
    - i.e., keep `pallet-collator-selection` in the runtime and keep it as the session manager
    - define the inflation of `parachain-staking` as per the previous [referendum](https://amplitude.polkassembly.io/post/915)
- add multi-asset via  `orml-tokens` and `orml-currency` with a set of candidate parachain tokens 

## Step 2: Transfer funds to collator accounts

Using sudo, funds will be distributed from the ecosystem accounts (see [tokenomics](https://pendulum.gitbook.io/pendulum-docs/get-started/token-economics)) to the initial set of collators, so they can stake the minimum required amount.

## Step 3: Join the set of collator candidates
Ensure each Amplitude collator stakes the minimum amount with `parachain-staking`

## Step 4: Runtime Upgrade

Using sudo, the final adjustments are implemented:

- direct all transaction fees on network to treasury
- set `parachain-staking` as the session manager of `pallet-session`
- remove `pallet-collator-selection`

Update: Add Treasury, Collator Staking, and Multi-asset Handling via Runtime Upgrades

### Summary

In the final step towards the [Amplitude democracy launch](https://medium.com/pendulum-chain/amplitude-the-rollout-1ddc51a3f68f), where the network will be entirely in the hands of the token holders, we propose to remove the Sudo pallet and enable asset transfers.

### Proposal

1. **Remove Sudo pallet:** Up until this point, prior runtime upgrades were executed with a sudo key as a fallback. Sudo is a “super user” with special privileges that can override governance decisions. Removing the [Sudo pallet](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/tree/master/frame/sudo), will remove the sudo user from the network, which means that from hereon Amplitude relies on the Councils and the decentralized governance to steer the network.
2. **Unlock token transfers:** Enable $AMPE token transfers. From hereon the AMPE token can be freely transferred between accounts on Amplitude.
3. **Other additional items required to be done using Sudo:** with this runtime upgrade a few additional updates will be performed.
    1. Increase democracy cycle times: During the democratization rollout, the democracy cycles were decreased to expedite the process. Now we change the democracy cycle times to the average of Kusama parachains as below:
        1. 5 days launch period
        2. 5 days voting period
        3. 2 days enactment period
        4. 7 days cool off period
    2. Change pallet weights — small [security update](https://github.com/pendulum-chain/pendulum/issues/33#issuecomment-1195399811)

Proposal: Democracy Launch

# Summary

In order to enable *delegated* collator staking via KILT’s [parachain-staking pallet](https://github.com/KILTprotocol/kilt-node/blob/develop/pallets/parachain-staking/src/lib.rs) while keeping the original the token distribution and release schedule, the Pendulum/Amplitude team proposes to burn 36 million AMPE tokens, which will be used for rewarding collators through issuance.

# Proposal

1. Amplitude chain has a maximum supply of 200 million AMPE (part of this supply is allocated to collator staking rewards to maintain the network) 
2. At genesis, Amplitude already issued the 200 million AMPE
3. KILT’s staking pallet `parachain-staking` — which allows AMPE holders to delegate their tokens to collators — by default rewards collators via *inflation,* i.e. issuance of new tokens.
4. In order to introduce the `parachain-staking` pallet and enable delegated collator staking, **we propose to burn 36 million AMPE, which will then be released as rewards to collators and delegator’s.**

The changes are mainly *technical* and will *effectively* make no changes to the planned tokenomics.
