Core Philosophy
An unconventional approach to cryptocurrency tokenomics. $FORGE is a governance token deliberately designed to discourage speculation and distribute power rather than concentrate it.
This is ideology implemented through code.
Three Foundational Principles
Fair Launch
No insider advantages. The team receives no liquid tokens; compensation comes through salaries, equity in Fininverse, and milestone bonuses. VCs cannot purchase tokens at discounted rates.
Demand-Based Release
Tokens unlock based on actual ecosystem activity rather than fixed timelines. More things to decide = more votes distributed.
Anti-Speculation Design
Explicitly discourages short-term trading through time multipliers (holding longer increases voting weight) and contribution scores (builders gain more influence than passive holders).
Governance Structure
Voting power combines three factors:
Token Quantity
Holding Duration Multiplier
Contribution Score
Quadratic weighting prevents wealth concentration: theoretically, 1,000 people with modest holdings outweigh one whale.
Progressive Decentralization
Key Differentiators
Total Supply
100 million (fixed, non-inflationary)
Community Allocation
50% reserved for community
No VC Discounts
Same pricing for everyone
No Team Pre-mine
Team earns through work, not allocation
Who Should NOT Participate
This initiative explicitly targets builders, governors, and mission-aligned participants: not speculators seeking "100x returns." Those unwilling to vote or contribute are discouraged from participation.
