How The Forest Works
The whole mechanism, without the whitepaper cosplay. Five systems, and none of them need you to trust anybody.
The Curve
Every launch opens on a bonding curve. Price is a pure function of supply sold — no order book, no market maker, no listing committee. You buy, the price moves up the curve. You sell, it moves back down. Same math for everyone, all the way from the first wallet to the last.
The curve parameters are written at deploy time and are read-only after that. There is no admin key, no pause function, and no upgrade proxy. Nobody — including us — can halt trading, throttle a wallet, or change the price function once it is live.

Fair Drop
There is no presale, no whitelist, no allocation round and no team reserve. When the contract goes live, 100% of supply sits on the curve and the only way to get any is to buy it at the same price everyone else pays at that moment.
Creators can buy their own launch like anybody else, in public, from the same block. What they cannot do is start with a bag. If a launch shows up here, nobody was holding it before you could.

Full Draw & Graduation
The draw meter on every bounty is the curve's fill level. As buys accumulate, the bow pulls back. At 100% the arrow looses: the contract takes the accumulated reserve, pairs it with the remaining supply, deposits it into the DEX pool, and burns the LP tokens.
That whole sequence is one atomic transaction triggered by the buy that crosses the threshold. No team action, no multisig delay, no announcement. If it hits full draw at 3am, it lists at 3am.

- LP tokens
- Burned on graduation
- Human involvement
- None
- Time to list
- Same transaction
The Sherwood Toll
Each graduation pays a fee. That fee does not go to a founder wallet — it routes into the Sherwood Vault, which does exactly two things with it: buy back $SHERWOOD on the open market, or drop it directly on holders weighted by holding duration.
Both paths are executed by contract and both are visible onchain. The vault has no discretionary spending, no treasury multisig, and no line item labelled 'operations'.

Green Hat Armor
Sniping a fresh launch is where retail loses the most money, and it usually isn't to another trader — it's to a bot that saw the transaction first and wrapped it. Green hat holders route buys through a protected path that makes that sandwich unprofitable to attempt.
The protection is contract-level, not a private mempool subscription you have to configure. Hold the credential, get the armor.

FAQ
- Can you stop me from buying?
- No. There is no function in the contract that would let us. That's the entire point of the thing.
- What stops the creator from dumping on me?
- They start with zero tokens, same as you. If they want a position they buy it on the curve in public, and everyone can see the wallet do it.
- What happens if a launch never hits full draw?
- It sits on the curve indefinitely. You can buy and sell against it the whole time — nothing expires and nothing gets clawed back.
- Is any of this financial advice?
- Absolutely not. Most tokens on any launchpad go to zero, this one included. Size accordingly.
