What FROTH is
FROTH is the protocol token. The canonical supply lives on Flow EVM; the leg you trade on Robinhood Chain is a LayerZero V2 OFT (omnichain fungible token) backed one-to-one by canonical FROTH locked in the bridge adapter. Same token, two chains, no wrapped-token weirdness. The bridge does lock-and-mint both ways.
You need FROTH for exactly one thing today: providing liquidity or trading on FrothSwap. When the launchpad opens, launching a token costs a flat 1,000 FROTH.
Addresses
The burn flywheel
Everything routes back into buying and burning FROTH. FrothSwap protocol fees include a FROTH buy-and-burn leg, and when the launchpad opens, 5% of every 1% curve trade fee buys FROTH and sends it to the dead address. More activity, 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.
