Examined promise
This dossier examines the documented purpose and mechanisms of Ampleforth Governance Token (FORTH) on the Ethereum network, identified by contract address 0x77fba179c79de5b7653f68b5039af940ada60ce0. The objective is to explain the stated aims of this token as recorded in community-maintained integration registries. This examination relies solely on provided documentary summaries and does not constitute an independent operational verification or audit of the deployed bytecode, current controllers, or live network behavior.
Established facts
The Trust Wallet Ethereum integration record identifies Ampleforth Governance with the symbol FORTH and specifies 18 decimal places for amount representation. Decimal places define how amounts are stored and displayed but do not measure supply or value. The registry labels this entry as ERC20 and active. The community-maintained description states that FORTH is the governance token for the Ampleforth protocol. It further describes AMPL as the first rebasing currency, noting that the AMPL protocol adjusts total supply daily based on market conditions to transfer volatility from price to supply. This description attributes specific economic aims to the project. The general ERC-20 specification defines a standard interface for fungible tokens, including functions for totalSupply, balanceOf, transfers, and allowances. An allowance permits a named spender to use a specified amount of tokens, subject to approval. A wallet label of ERC20 establishes no independently checked compliance or actual implementation of these standards for this specific contract. The network context confirms the Ethereum blockchain hosts this record, though the registry itself is community-maintained and excludes brand-new tokens from submissions. Inclusion does not imply partnership or verified issuer statements.
Unknowns
Independent control, beneficial ownership, actual usage, client adoption, supply distribution, concentration, liquidity, and complete incident history remain unverified. No live network observation was performed to confirm the deployed bytecode matches the documented address or to verify the existence of governance mechanisms. The active status in the registry is a metadata label without live-network validation. The relationship between the stated rebasing mechanism of AMPL and the governance function of FORTH is not operationally confirmed. No security audit results or investment return data have been established.
Consequences
Documentary mechanisms alone cannot establish actual network behavior or investment outcomes. Without independent verification of control and supply, the efficacy of the governance token remains theoretical. Users relying on registry descriptions may encounter discrepancies between stated aims and actual contract functionality. The lack of verified incident history prevents assessment of historical resilience. Scoring coverage is at 0%, resulting in an unrated status due to missing essential criteria such as identity, supply, and control.
Verdict
Operational strength remains unproven. The asset is unrated with 0% scoring coverage. The documented claims provide a basis for inquiry but do not substantiate operational safety, governance effectiveness, or economic viability. The dossier serves as a preliminary identification of the token's stated purpose within the Trust Wallet registry context.
Evidence that would change it
Reproduced identity checks confirming the contract address controls the claimed governance functions. Independent dated network observations verifying supply distribution, transaction volume, and active usage. Criterion-specific evidence demonstrating secure implementation of the ERC-20 interface and any additional governance logic. Calibration and editorial review following the acquisition of these operational proofs would be required to move from an unrated status to a scored assessment.

Sources behind this analysis
Trust Wallet: captured Ethereum record for Ampleforth Governance
The pinned Trust Wallet Ethereum integration record names Ampleforth Governance with symbol FORTH, contract 0x77fba179c79de5b7653f68b5039af940ada60ce0 and 18 decimal places. Decimal places concern amount representation and do not measure supply or value. The record labels the entry ERC20 and active. Its community-maintained description states: "FORTH is the governance token for the Ampleforth protocol. AMPL is the first rebasing currency and a key DeFi building block for denominating stable contracts. The AMPL protocol adjusts total supply daily based on market conditions, transferring volatility from price to supply. Unlike stablecoin models, AMPL does not rely on traditional banks or lenders of last resort." Every project, economic, partnership, performance, supply, date and adoption statement within this quoted description is an attributed registry claim, not an independently established issuer statement or operational observation. This dossier may explain those stated aims with that attribution. No deployed implementation, rights, ownership, safety, supply, use or investment outcome was checked. The general ERC-20 specification is separate from this token implementation. Treat the generic application family as a documentary contract subject; its economic niche and scoring criteria remain unclassified and unknown.

The pinned wallet blockchain-information file names the network Ethereum, symbol ETH, and lists its project website and explorer. That named network context accompanies token records in the repository's Ethereum subtree. This identifies the documented integration network without reproducing its operation. This source is the wallet project's own integration registry, maintained with community submissions. Its project descriptions are documentary claims from that registry, not independently verified issuer statements or operational observations. The active status is a metadata label, with no live-network validation. No deployment bytecode, controller, supply, reserve, use, concentration, liquidity, security audit, incident completeness or investment return has been established.
Inspect the primary source ↗Trust Wallet Assets: README.md (bbe582d25a22)
The Trust Wallet Assets README describes a community-maintained registry of token information and logos across blockchains, used by the wallet and other projects. It says additional token information is optional and unavailable on-chain. Anyone can submit assets, and inclusion does not imply a direct partnership with the listed projects. It also explicitly excludes brand-new tokens from submissions, so this source cannot provide an exhaustive inventory of recent launches. The README states that its scripts and documentation use the MIT license. This source is the wallet project's own integration registry, maintained with community submissions. Its project descriptions are documentary claims from that registry, not independently verified issuer statements or operational observations. The active status is a metadata label, with no live-network validation.

Inspect the primary source ↗Ethereum ERC-20: pinned token interface specification
The pinned ERC-20 specification describes a standard interface for fungible tokens in smart contracts. It defines totalSupply and balanceOf reads, transfers, third-party transfers after authorization, approval and remaining allowance. An allowance is the amount a named spender may use; a repeated approval overwrites that amount. The specification says callers must handle a false transfer result and describes Transfer and Approval events. Name, symbol and decimal-place metadata are optional in the standard. These interface requirements describe what a conforming implementation should do. A wallet ERC20 label establishes no independently checked compliance, actual deployed implementation, controller permissions, token use, supply or security. No token transaction was performed in this review. Copyright and related rights are waived under CC0.
