# What is Forge?

**Forge** is a permissionless token launcher on **Uniswap V4 + Base**. Deploy a real ERC-20 in **one transaction** — no coding, no upfront liquidity, no rug surface. Forge creates the token, initializes a Uniswap V4 pool, places single‑sided liquidity that's locked forever, and wires fee routing — all atomically.

It's built for three kinds of users, on the same primitive:

* **Humans** — launch from the web app at [forgelaunch.build](https://forgelaunch.build).
* **Social audiences** — tweet **@forge\_launch** and the bot launches it for you.
* **Automation & AI agents** — call the contract or the public REST API directly.

## What you get on every launch

|                  |                                                                             |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Supply**       | 100,000,000,000 (100B), fixed, 18 decimals                                  |
| **Token**        | Standard ERC‑20 + EIP‑2612 Permit — no mint, burn, pause, tax, or blacklist |
| **Liquidity**    | Single‑sided LP, **locked permanently** in the LP Manager                   |
| **Pool**         | Uniswap V4, 1.5% dynamic fee                                                |
| **Anti‑sniper**  | Parabolic MEV fee decay: **80% → 1.5% over 30s**                            |
| **Fees**         | Route to you, a friend, or any X handle — locked at deploy, in one tx       |
| **Verification** | Auto‑verified on Basescan; metadata pinned to IPFS                          |
| **Cost**         | \~$0.20 in gas, \~30 seconds                                                |

## Why "no rug possible"

* **LP is locked forever.** The single‑sided liquidity is custodied by the LP Manager contract, which has no withdraw path. Nobody — not even the team — can pull it.
* **The token is immutable.** No mint, no burn, no pause, no blacklist, no transfer tax. What deploys is what you trade, forever.
* **The protocol is trustless by construction.** The factory is owned by a Gnosis Safe (multisig); the hook and LP manager have **zero admin functions**. A leaked deployer key gives an attacker no power over the protocol.

## The fee model in one line

Every swap pays a **1.5% fee**, split between the token's **creator (47%)**, **NFT holders (15.9%)**, and the **treasury (37.1%)** — paid in the two pool currencies, no swaps, claimable any time.
