We spent the last few weeks saying as little as possible on purpose.
Tomorrow, that changes. Forest Road Vault is built by people who've done this before, and it's built to be checked, not just trusted.
More in a few hours.
Forest Road Vault has raised $1M in seed funding.
This marks the first close of our funding journey as we build the infrastructure to bring real-world credit on-chain.
Forest Road Vault is built on years of experience originating, underwriting, and servicing real-world credit now being brought into an on-chain financial ecosystem.
This is only the beginning.
Additional funding rounds are currently ongoing as we continue bringing together strategic investors and partners aligned with our vision for the future of on-chain credit.
To everyone who has supported Forest Road Vault from the beginning, thank you.
We’re building the vault.
And we’re just getting started.
The wait is over. The Vault is opening.
We’re opening the doors to Forest Road Vault and giving you a closer look at what we’re building.
Many of you have been asking:
“What do we have for the community?”
As part of our roadmap and tokenomics, 50% of token rewards will be reserved for the community, with Season 1 participants eligible to earn from this allocation. T&Cs apply.
And this is only the beginning.
You’ll be rewarded for helping us build:
→ Bringing new members to the ecosystem
→ Community participation & engagement
→ Transactions and volume
→ Staking activity
→ Holding Discord roles and contributing to the community
→ Actively using the platform
→ Referring friends to Forest Road Vault
A major change to the Points Program is also coming later today.
If you’ve been early, stayed active, supported the build, or helped bring others in this is where it starts to matter.
The audit is public.
Every contract, every design decision, checkable on GitHub, not a summary slide, not "trust us." Read it yourself.

Mainnet is live because that review is done, not instead of it.
Forest Road Vault is live.
Effective today, the protocol is open. USDfr is available on decentralized exchanges, and the vault holds $1M in initial capacity for staking into sUSDfr.
This is not a proposal or a roadmap. It is operational.

How to participate
1. Acquire USDfr
Available now on Uniswap (https://t.co/ydetEH1o52), or minted directly, 1:1, through the protocol's KYC-gated controller for verified users.
2. Connect and verify
Visit https://t.co/zWdQyZfQ12 and complete identity verification. This is a KYC-gated protocol, lending against real regulated collateral requires it.
3. Stake into sUSDfr
Deposit USDfr into the vault. In return, you hold sUSDfr, the yield-bearing side.
4. Let the book do the work
sUSDfr's exchange rate moves with actual performance across the credit book. No fixed rate. No promised return. Yield reflects what is earned, nothing more.
5. Exit through the queue
Redemptions process through the protocol's FIFO epoch system, matched to real underlying liquidity.
