What FROTH is
FROTH is the protocol token used by the app on Robinhood Chain and Base. Its canonical supply is held on Flow EVM for bridge custody; the Robinhood and Base legs are LayerZero V2 OFTs backed one-to-one by canonical FROTH locked in the bridge adapter. Flow is not an app network.
You need FROTH to launch: creating a token costs a flat 1,000 FROTH (or pay in ETH; the factory swaps for you). It also trades and LPs on FrothSwap.

The burn flywheel
Trading routes back into buying and burning FROTH. FrothSwap protocol fees include a FROTH buy-and-burn leg, and 5% of every 1% curve trade fee buys FROTH and sends it to the dead address. More trading, less supply.
Burning the OFT on Robinhood is a real economic burn: the burned leg can never be redeemed, so the matching canonical FROTH is permanently stranded in the bridge lockbox on Flow.
