✨The Forge

The Forge is designed to function as the central hub for storing and managing information about modules, which includes their addresses, versions, and other pertinent specifics. Diligently governed by the DAO, it holds exclusive authority for listing modules, thereby ensuring a secure and transparent ecosystem.

One of the unique features of The Forge is its interoperability with other modular protocols like lens, safe aragon, zodiac, zero.dev, and biconomy. This interoperability expands its functionality and reach, allowing for greater flexibility and a wide array of use-cases in the decentralized landscape.

Each module within The Forge is represented as an ERC1155 token with a specific minting price. This price is thoughtfully distributed as royalty fees among the developers and auditors who contributed to the module. The Forge ensures accurate allocation of these royalty fees based on pre-defined shares, fortifying trust and encouraging participation in the ecosystem. Each module carries associated royalty information, specifying how the minting fee, minus the protocol fee, is to be divided among its creators and auditors.

The supply of modules can either be capped or infinite, contingent upon their unique design and security score. This nuanced approach to supply management adds another layer of customization and security to the ecosystem.

Additionally, The Forge levies a protocol fee, which is a percentage of the module's minting price. This fee can be dynamically adjusted by the DAO to meet ecosystem needs. Funds collected as protocol fees are funneled into the treasury, providing resources for continued growth and development.

The Forge also incorporates renting features inspired by ERC-5006, effectively introducing on-chain SaaS (Software as a Service) mechanics to modules. This feature allows users to rent out their modules, creating a dynamic ecosystem where assets can be both owned and leased, adding another revenue stream for module owners and further fostering community engagement.
