Supply & Distribution

Understanding FORGE's fixed supply, deflationary model, and how tokens enter circulation.

Fixed Supply Model

FORGE has a hard cap of 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion) tokens. This is enforced at the smart contract level — no additional tokens can ever be minted beyond this cap.

Metric	Value
Maximum Supply	1,000,000,000 FORGE
Initial Circulating	TBA — based on launch schedule
Deflationary	Yes — circulating supply decreases via burns
Inflationary	No — no new tokens can be created beyond cap

How Tokens Enter Circulation

Trading Rewards — tokens are distributed weekly to active traders
Liquidity Provision — initial DEX liquidity is seeded at launch
Airdrops & Campaigns — community campaigns release tokens over time
Team Vesting — team tokens unlock gradually after 6-month cliff

Deflationary Pressure

Unlike inflationary tokens, FORGE becomes more scarce over time:

A portion of every platform fee is used to buy and permanently burn FORGE
Burned tokens are sent to 0x000...dead — irrecoverable
As trading volume grows, burn rate increases, accelerating deflation

📉

Example: If 10M FORGE are burned in year 1, the effective max supply drops to 990M — permanently. Each subsequent year further reduces the supply.
