## What FORTH is

FORTH is the **governance token** of the Ampleforth Protocol and its DAO, not an equity, ETF, or security. Per the project itself, "Forth is the governance token used to control the Ampleforth Protocol and DAO," with proposals finalized by FORTH holder votes [[9]](https://www.ampleforth.org/). It governs two underlying primitives: **AMPL**, an elastic-supply token targeting a CPI-adjusted dollar, and the **SPOT** protocol [[9]](https://www.ampleforth.org/)[[11]](https://www.ampleforth.org/). As a digital asset it has no company filings or quarterly earnings [DOC-2]. Its contract address is `0x77fba179c79de5b7653f68b5039af940ada60ce0` [[5]](https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/ampleforth-governance-token/latest-updates/)[[9]](https://www.ampleforth.org/).
