# What is $FOREST? **$FOREST isn’t an afterthought; it’s the engine.**\ It powers every launch, pairs every token, and captures the value of the entire ecosystem as it grows. #### Liquidity Backbone Every token launched on Forest pairs with $FOREST.\ This design **locks value inside the ecosystem** and creates continuous deflationary pressure as new tokens go live and more liquidity is seeded.\ Each launch expands the shared liquidity pool - strengthening both the new project and the $FOREST base it’s built on. #### Routing Layer Just like ETH anchors its chain, $FOREST anchors Forest.\ Every trade routes through $FOREST, whether users are entering from BNB or exiting into stablecoins - creating **constant organic demand** and making $FOREST the heartbeat of the protocol. > This routing design means that even if a user never buys $FOREST directly, every transaction within the ecosystem still interacts with it - feeding liquidity, buybacks, and burns back into the core token. **Stake to Shape** Staking $FOREST gives you **SEEDs**, a vote-escrowed token scaled by lockup.\ Holding SEEDs unlocks: * Boost tokens with protocol fees. * Airdrops from Kaizen Studio (Zeeverse and many upcoming games), Partner studios, and Creators on the platform. * Governance rights to shape protocol direction and allocate ecosystem grants. This isn’t passive staking - it’s **committed ownership** in the infrastructure layer of a new token economy. > **How it works:**\ > SEEDs are earned by staking $FOREST for set durations - the longer you lock, the higher your multiplier.\ > These SEEDs become the universal incentive unit across Forest and partner ecosystems, representing long-term engagement and voting power. #### SEED-Based Claim Model Until recently, Forest airdrops were simple claim events: connect your wallet, check eligibility, claim tokens.\ The new model introduces a **SEED-based claim system** that rewards true participation over time. > Holders can **spend SEEDs** to claim a pro-rata share of a fixed airdrop pool.\ > The more SEEDs you spend relative to others, the greater your share.\ > Unspent SEEDs stay in your balance for future rounds - giving holders freedom to choose when to claim. **Why this matters** * **Aligned incentives:** Rewards go to active community members who stake, play, or hold partner assets. * **Fair distribution:** Each round distributes a fixed pool; your share depends only on SEEDs spent. * **Strategic control:** Choose whether to spend or save SEEDs for later rounds with different rates. * **Unified rewards:** SEEDs connect staking, airdrops, and partner ecosystems into one shared incentive layer. > **Example:**\ > Pool size = 200,000 $FOREST\ > Total SEEDs spent by all users = 12,500\ > Per-SEED rate = 16 $FOREST\ > If you spend 50 SEEDs, you claim = 50 × 16 = 800 $FOREST. Unspent SEEDs remain in your wallet for later rounds, and staking continues to earn both $FOREST and SEEDs. #### Beyond Airdrops SEEDs are more than claim tickets - they are the foundation of Forest’s growing economy. * **Boost campaigns:** Spend SEEDs to increase a project’s visibility or reward share on the Launchpad. * **In-game and marketplace rewards:** Redeem SEEDs for exclusive items, access, or collectibles in partner worlds. * **Governance:** Use SEEDs to vote on proposals, listings, and ecosystem grants. Together, these utilities make SEEDs the common thread linking Forest’s community, partners, and long-term growth. > 📰 **Read more:** [Forest Airdrop Unlock: The SEED-Based Claim Model - Zeeverse on Medium](https://zeeverse.medium.com/forest-airdrop-unlock-the-seed-based-claim-model-4c230a66f55f) **Every launch strengthens $FOREST.
