A working overview of FORASTERO’s agricultural development plan and the FORAS token mechanics described in the supplied Polygon contract source.
This edition replaces the project’s earlier BSC-era cocoa-only pitch. It separates reported progress and future ambitions from verified on-chain behavior.

01 / EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Agriculture is the operating plan. Token rules are separate.
FORASTERO is an early-stage agricultural project in Nigeria, with a current 15-hectare site in development and a near-term focus on groundnut and beetroot.
Project direction
The longer-term plan is to expand toward as much as 1,000 hectares, build cocoa production, develop crop processing and strengthen cross-border supply chains. These are ambitions, not completed milestones. The pace depends on land, funding, infrastructure, agronomy, market access and execution.
What this paper covers
This document summarizes the agricultural scope shared by the project, reported early site progress, token-supply targets, and the behavior visible in the supplied FORAS Solidity source. It does not establish that the token is legally backed by farmland or crop revenue.
AT A GLANCE
Current site
15 hectares under development
Reported progress
2 hectares cleared, as stated by project team
Near-term crops
Groundnut and beetroot
Long-term ambition
Up to 1,000 hectares; cocoa, processing and cross-border supply
Token network
Polygon PoS
Acreage and site-progress statements are project-provided and have not been independently audited. Photos show land preparation, not a surveyed boundary or proof of crop yield.
Important distinction: the supplied FORAS contract describes an ERC-20 token with burn and trading-fee reward logic. It does not encode land title, crop ownership, farm revenue sharing, or a claim on agricultural output.
The website and this paper are informational. FORAS can be volatile, and the agricultural program and token plans involve significant execution and market risk. No return, token price, yield or liquidity is promised.
02 / AGRICULTURAL PROGRAM
A phased path from site work to a wider value chain.
The current project description extends beyond cocoa. Groundnut and beetroot are the near-term crops identified for the developing site, with cocoa and agricultural processing described as longer-term components.
CURRENT
Groundnut
A short-duration crop in the current agricultural plan. Planting dates, acreage by crop, inputs and expected output were not supplied.
CURRENT
Beetroot
A second near-term crop identified by the project. Yield, offtake, storage and processing assumptions remain to be documented.
LONGER TERM
Cocoa & processing
Long-term direction includes cocoa cultivation, processing of agricultural crops and cross-border supply-chain development.
Reported site status
The project reports that 2 hectares of a 15-hectare site have been cleared; the other area remains under development. Photographs supplied for the website show vegetation, cleared ground and site preparation. No survey, land-tenure documents, independent verification, planting records or crop-yield evidence were included with this edition.

Scale ambition: expansion from 15 hectares toward 1,000 hectares is a long-term target. Full cocoa production, processing facilities and cross-border supply chains require future land, capital, permits, people, infrastructure and commercial partnerships.
03 / FORAS TOKEN PLAN
Supply targets and stated sale intentions.
The supplied Solidity source defines a 2 billion FORAS initial supply and caps qualifying presale investor tokens assigned at 1.99 billion. Project notes state that the invitation/presale allocation is intended to be burned. Actual burns must be completed and verified on Polygon.
Target if the full 1.99B allocation is burned; not current supply
Sale intentions shared by the project
Project notes state an intended USDC presale price of 0.0005 USDC per FORAS and an intended DEX liquidity-pool opening target of 0.008 USDC per FORAS. The latter is a target only; market price is determined by actual liquidity and trading. Neither price guarantees value, appreciation or return.
Not supplied for this edition
Presale start/end date, sale contract address, sale cap in currency, amount raised, vesting schedule, distribution schedule and confirmed DEX-pool address.
Before participating
Wait for official sale terms. Verify a sale contract independently. Do not send USDC to the token contract address; the supplied token source is not itself a presale purchase interface.
A token allocation is not a monetary fundraising cap. The projected 10M figure depends on the intended burns and other supply-changing activity. Check current totalSupply and burn events on PolygonScan.
04 / ON-CHAIN MECHANICS
Burning, reserve payout and fee rewards.
The mechanics below are summarized from the Solidity source supplied with this website update. The deployed contract may differ; its verified code, live configuration and balances should be checked on PolygonScan.
1. Presale assignment
A transfer from a configured presale source meeting the source-code threshold (5,000 FORAS) can be marked as burn-only investor tokens, up to the 1.99B assignment cap. Such balances cannot be transferred normally.
2. Burn and reserve payout
Holder calls burnInvestorTokens(amount) or burnAllInvestorTokens(). Tokens are destroyed and a proportional share of the 4M FORAS reserve is paid in the same transaction, if available.
3. Lifetime reward weight
The amount burned is recorded as the wallet’s cumulative investor weight. This weight is used for pro-rata DEX buy-fee rewards and cannot be sold or transferred.
4. Claim fee rewards
The holder reads pendingInvestorRewardOf(address) and submits claimInvestorRewards() when eligible. A claim is a transaction, not an automatic off-chain payout.
DEX buy tax: 2% total → 60% of tax amount to investor rewards · 40% to tax recipient
In the supplied source, only transfers identified as buys from configured DEX pairs are taxed. Thus 60% of a 2% qualifying buy tax corresponds to 1.2% of the gross buy amount (before rounding), not 60% of all DEX trades. Investor rewards depend on actual qualifying volume, pair configuration, cumulative burn weights and available contract funds. No reward rate or payout amount is guaranteed.
Burn is not a token conversion. The burn destroys the restricted presale balance; the holder does not receive a newly minted tradable token in exchange. A reserve payout is distinct from DEX fee rewards. Tokens separately purchased from a DEX are ordinary balances, subject to the deployed contract’s rules.

Contract source includes setPresaleSource, setDexPair and a function to freeze DEX pair configuration. Verify which sources and pairs are enabled and whether configuration is frozen before relying on reward behavior.
05 / EXECUTION, RISKS & DISCLOSURES
What remains to be built, measured and verified.
Development path
Current
Develop the 15-hectare site; document land access, clearing, crop plan and inputs.
Next
Publish planting and crop-progress updates, operational costs, harvest and offtake evidence.
Build out
Evaluate cocoa production, crop processing, storage/logistics and cross-border supply partners.
Scale
Consider expansion toward 1,000 hectares only as land, capital, agronomy and commercial capacity allow.
No dates, budgets, permits, commercial contracts or yield forecasts were supplied as verified commitments in this edition.
Key risks
Agricultural: weather, pests, soil, crop disease, land tenure, labor, transport, storage, processing, market prices, export rules and operating capital.
Execution: project plans may be delayed, changed or not completed. The supplied token source does not create a legal claim on the farm, crops, company revenue or land.
Reward uncertainty: DEX rewards rely on qualifying buy volume and contract balances. Burn reserve payouts are limited to the reserve. Neither is a guaranteed income stream.
Disclaimer. This whitepaper is informational and reflects project statements and source code supplied for this update; it is not independently audited. It is not an offer, solicitation, financial, legal or tax advice, or a guarantee of agricultural production, token value, liquidity, reward, income or return. Cryptocurrency and agricultural development both involve substantial risk. Verify all project claims, applicable laws and on-chain activity independently, and consult qualified advisers before making decisions.

06 / PROJECT-STATED AGRICULTURAL REVENUE POLICY
A harvest allocation, separate from token fees.
The project states that agricultural earnings after harvest will be allocated 40% to the FORASTERO project and 60% toward token buybacks and early-buyer rewards. It intends qualifying presale buyers who burn their tokens to receive harvest-linked rewards at each harvest for up to seven years.
40%
Forastero project allocation
The project’s stated plan is to use this share to develop physical agricultural assets, including plantation crops.
60%
Buybacks and early-buyer rewards
The project intends to direct this share toward token buybacks and harvest-linked rewards for eligible early buyers who burn presale tokens for up to seven years. The division between buybacks and rewards has not been specified.
A different mechanism: lifetime DEX fee-reward weight
Separately, the supplied FORAS contract source applies a 2% fee to qualifying DEX buys. It routes 60% of that fee amount to a pro-rata investor reward pool for eligible wallets with burned-token weight, and 40% to a tax-recipient address. The project identifies that 40% recipient share as the Forastero project’s share; verify the recipient wallet and its use on-chain. Burned amount remains a wallet’s lifetime weight in the fee pool while the mechanism is active; it does not give each investor an individual 60% share of fees.
Harvest earnings: 40% project assets · 60% buybacks / harvest rewards, up to 7 years DEX buy tax: 2% total · 40% project-designated recipient / 60% lifetime, pro-rata investor pool
These are intended benefits, not guaranteed returns in the supplied contract. The calculation basis for “earnings after harvest,” accounting and reporting method, timing, the split of the 60% between buybacks and rewards, and the seven-year schedule were not provided for this edition. The supplied Solidity source does not implement agricultural income collection, farm-earnings distributions, buybacks, or a seven-year reward term. Treat the harvest allocation and tenure as project-stated plans until formal terms and an enforceable, independently verifiable mechanism are published.
The two allocations describe different sources of funds and must not be conflated: agricultural earnings after harvest are a project-declared operating allocation; the DEX buy tax is a token-contract mechanism dependent on live configuration and qualifying trading activity. Neither guarantees a return or a particular payout amount.
