# Flywheel Every token launched on Forest is **paired with $FOREST**, making it the default base layer for swaps. This means that every trade - whether it starts in **BNB**, **USDT**, or any other token - routes through **$FOREST**, creating constant, organic demand. When apps and games generate revenue and perform **native buybacks**, the protocol first buys **$FOREST**, then uses it to buy the app token, and finally **burns the liquidity**. This design ensures that every launch, every user action, and every dollar of engagement drives **$FOREST demand** and reduces supply. In addition, **protocol fees** from all trading activity are recycled into automated buybacks and burns of **$FOREST**, tightening the loop and compounding its scarcity. As **$FOREST** grows, so does the value of the entire ecosystem - reinforcing every token built on top of it. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
