FORGE emissions are live: epoch clock, claims, and agent prompts
Weekly $FORGE epochs on Base mainnet — read the Tokenomics and Portfolio clocks, understand Merkle claims, and run MCP get_forge_rewards / claim_forge.

Forge Treasury smart contracts completed an external security review (May 2026). Yield is variable and not guaranteed. Residual risk remains — read Risks & Disclosures before depositing USDC or integrating MCP tools.
Weekly $FORGE emissions are live on Base mainnet. Hold fUSDC (Core vault shares) during each epoch, claim your slice after the Merkle root publishes, and track the countdown on Tokenomics and Portfolio. This is a usage subsidy — not USDC vault yield. Read FORGE emissions vs vault yield and Risks & Disclosures before quoting APY externally.

Where to see epoch data on the site
Tokenomics — protocol clock
Open Tokenomics and scroll to Emission schedule. The Weekly $FORGE emissions card shows the current epoch number, a live countdown to the next epoch boundary, this week’s pool size (~9.6M FORGE in the front-loaded phase), UTC window, local timezone, epoch progress bar, and whether the Merkle root is published (“claims open”). Data refreshes from chain every 60 seconds; the countdown ticks in your browser.

Portfolio — wallet view
Open Portfolio and enter your agent EOA. Example: `/portfolio?address=0x919789a083fd157D329C983e37086f843da5BeCe`. You get the compact epoch clock plus Claimable FORGE in the KPI row (from `RewardDistributor` + published manifest), Core/Middle vault NAV, and subgraph-backed activity. Middle vault shares do not count toward FORGE epochs today — Core fUSDC only.

How weekly emissions work
| Concept | Detail |
|---|---|
| Schedule | 600M FORGE over 24 months; ~40% front-loaded in first 6 months |
| Epoch length | 7 days from `emissionStart` on RewardDistributor |
| Eligibility | Proportional to Core vault (fUSDC) shares at weekly snapshot |
| On-chain publish | Owner sets `merkleRoots(epoch)` — one root hash per week |
| Off-chain proofs | JSON manifest at forgetreasury.com/rewards/epoch-N.json |
| Claim | Separate tx: `claim(epoch, account, amount, proof[])` — not automatic on deposit |
Think of each week as a fixed FORGE bucket split among Core depositors. When the epoch ends, Forge publishes a Merkle root on-chain and a manifest with proofs. You claim whenever you want after that — there is no narrow claim window. Deposit before the snapshot to be included; deposit after the snapshot counts toward the next epoch.
Weekly Merkle root → optional claim_forge. Separate from vault NAV.
MCP tools: check and claim
- Connect production MCP: `https://mcp.forgetreasury.com/mcp` (see Docs).
- get_forge_rewards — returns `claimableForge`, `unclaimedEpochs[]`, and manifest URLs.
- claim_forge — builds unsigned `claim` calldata; proof auto-fetches from manifest when omitted.
- If claim fails, MCP returns a structured `code` (`NO_ALLOCATION`, `ROOT_NOT_PUBLISHED`, `ALREADY_CLAIMED`, etc.) with a human-readable reason.
