Terms of Service
##Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Forge (the "Platform"), including the forgelaunch.build website, its smart contracts on Base mainnet, and any public API endpoints, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
##What Forge Is
Forge is a permissionless ERC-20 token launcher built on Uniswap V4 + Base. The Platform automates token deployment, single-sided liquidity provision, and fee distribution. Contracts are non-custodial and open source. Forge does not hold user funds beyond the transient routing of LP fees per the published fee split.
##Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter contracts to use the Platform. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with the laws of your jurisdiction. The Platform is not offered in jurisdictions where its use would violate local law.
##User Responsibilities
- Wallet + credentials — you are solely responsible for securing your wallet, private keys, and any social-login credentials.
- Token metadata — the accuracy of names, symbols, and fee recipient addresses you submit is your responsibility.
- Verification — verify contract addresses and on-chain state before transacting.
- Compliance — follow all applicable securities, tax, AML/KYC, and anti-fraud laws of your jurisdiction.
- Taxes — any taxes owed on fees you receive through the Platform are your responsibility.
##Token Deployment + Fees
Tokens deployed through Forge have a fixed supply of 100,000,000,000 (100 billion) units, are standard ERC-20 with EIP-2612 Permit, and have no mint, burn, pause, or tax functions. Every swap pays a dynamic fee that decays parabolically from 80% to 1.5% over the first 30 seconds (anti-MEV), then stays at 1.5% indefinitely.
The collected fee is split:
- 47% of the WETH side + 47% of the token side → fee recipient (creator wallet, designated address, or X-handle owner via vault)
- 15.9% of the WETH side → ForgeNFT holders (unwrapped to ETH automatically)
- 37.1% of the WETH side + 53% of the token side → platform treasury
Forge does not guarantee the value, liquidity, trading volume, or success of any token deployed through the Platform.
##Fee Recipient + Handle Routing
When deploying you may designate a fee recipient by EVM address or by X (Twitter) handle. If you choose a handle, the Platform resolves it to the owner's embedded wallet via Privy. If the handle has not yet signed into Forge, fees accumulate in the ForgeFeeVault contract keyed to keccak256(handle), claimable later by the handle owner via signed authorization.
The fee recipient is locked at deploy time. Only the current recipient (not the deployer) can re-assign the slot via ForgeLPManager. Choose carefully — Forge cannot reverse a deploy or redirect fees retroactively.
##NFT
ForgeNFT is a separate ERC-721 contract reused from V3 (0x3ee6…f9Cd). 888 NFTs across four tiers (Common / Rare / Epic / Legendary) revealed at mint via on-chain gacha. Mint price 0.015 ETH. Holders collectively receive 15.9% of every WETH-side fee across every Forge-deployed token, distributed via a MasterChef-style accumulator.
##Smart Contract Risk
Smart contracts are immutable code. Forge contracts have been tested (86+ unit + fuzz tests) and statically analyzed (Slither, zero high severity), but no audit eliminates risk entirely. By using the Platform you accept the risk of bugs, exploits, or dependency failures that could result in partial or total loss of funds.
Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Funds sent to the wrong address, lost private keys, and accidentally deployed tokens cannot be recovered by the Platform.
##Third-Party Services
Forge integrates with the following third parties, each governed by their own terms:
- Privy — wallet provisioning + X OAuth login
- Uniswap V4 — pool manager, position manager, universal router
- Base — L2 settlement network
- Pinata — IPFS storage for token metadata + images
- Upstash — Redis cache for metadata + response caching
- Basescan / Etherscan — contract verification + explorer
##Prohibited Use
- Deploy tokens that infringe intellectual property or trademark rights
- Engage in fraud, market manipulation, or pump-and-dump schemes
- Launder funds, evade sanctions, or finance illegal activity
- Impersonate other persons or projects in token metadata or fee recipient handles
- Probe, scan, or attempt to compromise the Platform's infrastructure
##Disclaimers
- The Platform is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind
- Forge does not provide financial, investment, or legal advice
- Nothing on the Platform constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation to buy a security
##Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Forge, its operators, and contributors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Platform. Total liability for any direct damages will not exceed the fees you paid to the Platform in the 30 days preceding the claim.
##Modifications
Forge may revise these Terms at any time by updating this page. Continued use of the Platform after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
