Used for governance proposal submission and validator staking requirements.
Provides the economic infrastructure for access, interaction, and value exchange across commerce platforms, commodity marketplaces, AI-powered services, and tokenized asset exchanges.
FWRD has a total supply of 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) tokens distributed over a 10-year decay schedule. Early participants may earn a greater share of network rewards due to higher initial emissions.

Following mainnet activation, daily FWRD emissions are distributed across four pools designed to support network infrastructure, long-term participation, and ecosystem growth.
FWRD is not designed or marketed as an investment, and it should not be purchased or held with an expectation of profit derived from the efforts of others. FWRD does not constitute debt, equity, or a derivative instrument, and no return on capital is implied or offered. Reward formulas describe how network participation rewards are allocated among eligible participants. They are not promises of financial return, and the real-world value of any rewards, if any, may be limited or zero.
