Core Concepts Overview
Each concept is designed to be modular. Creators can adjust, combine or extend them to define how their token behaves.
1. Token Structure
Every token created in FOREST has a few foundational components.
Supply FOREST does not enforce a fixed maximum supply model.
Instead, supply adjusts based on actions: buying, selling, staking, rewards, app engagement or distribution logic chosen by the creator.
Supply becomes a mechanic, not a constraint.
This allows tokens to expand, deflate or rebalance as their ecosystem grows.
Distribution Creators decide how their initial supply is allocated:
liquidity
treasury
staking rewards
airdrops
external purposes
The distribution determines how much influence the creator retains, how much liquidity is available for trading, and how incentives are set for the community.
2. Liquidity System
When a token is created, part of its supply is paired with $FOREST to form a trading pool.
Curve Phase
The token begins on a bonding curve that defines how price changes as tokens are bought or sold.
The creator chooses the curve type: linear, exponential or logarithmic.
The curve enables early price discovery and steady liquidity growth.
Liquidity Phase
Once a defined threshold is reached, the token transitions into a standard liquidity model.
From this point onward, the price is set by the balance of assets in the pool, and the token trades like any other asset in an automated market environment.
This progression creates a smooth launch cycle: discovery → stability → long-term trading
3. Fees & Buybacks
Fees play a central role in how tokens behave in FOREST. Creators define both buy and sell fees, expressed as percentages.
Fees can route value in different ways:
to project treasury
to the protocol
to automatic buybacks
to burns
to reward pools
Buybacks are a tool creators can use to direct part of fee revenue into purchasing their own token from the market.
This can introduce deflationary behaviour, support liquidity depth or provide predictable recurring demand.
In FOREST, fees are not penalties — they are design tools that shape how the token sustains itself.
4. Bonding Curves
A bonding curve defines how token price moves during the early stage of its lifecycle.
Creators select from predefined curve shapes:
Linear for steady growth
Exponential for aggressive early movement
Logarithmic for fast initial ramp that stabilises later
The curve phase lasts until the liquidity threshold is reached.
This mechanism gives creators full control over how their token behaves at launch — whether it favours early adopters, smooth distribution or narrative-driven volatility.
5. Graduation Threshold
When the threshold is reached:
the curve phase ends
the liquidity pool transitions
the token becomes part of the main trading environment
This ensures every token starts small and experimental but has a path toward stability and long-term growth.
6. Staking & Reward Mechanics
Creators can allocate part of their supply toward staking rewards.
Staking can be used to:
encourage long-term holders
distribute tokens over time
compensate contributors
provide yield linked to project activity
Rewards can be:
fixed
dynamic
tied to app engagement through Campaign OS
Creators decide the pacing and the size of reward emissions.
Staking transforms passive holders into active participants in the token's economy.
7. Campaign OS & Playable Tokens
Campaign OS is the system that connects tokens to interactive mini-apps.
These can be:
quests
risk games
staking modules
referral systems
social actions
custom experiences
When a token is launched, the creator can attach one of these apps directly to it.
This gives the token immediate utility, engagement and user flow from day one.
Campaign OS bridges trading and user behaviour, letting creators design ecosystems rather than static coins.
8. Trading Environment
The trading interface in FOREST adapts based on the token's current state.
Trades follow the bonding curve formula.
Trading follows the liquidity pool balance.
Users always see:
current price
liquidity depth
fees
recent trades
buybacks
tokenomics overview
This transparency allows anyone to understand how a token behaves at a glance.
9. Creator Control & Finality
Before publishing, the creator can modify all configuration settings.
Once published, the token becomes immutable:
tokenomics are frozen
fees and routes are locked
distribution cannot be changed
FOREST gives creators full flexibility before deployment, and users full predictability after.
