The FRONT token is an [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token. Frontier has deployed smart contracts that allow token holders to bridge their FRONT ERC-20 tokens to Binance Smart Chain’s [BEP-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/bep-20) standard. Frontier released its Frontier Chain Incentivized Testnet, powered by Cosmos SDK, in April 2021.

The FRONT token is a utility token within the Frontier ecosystem. It was made for use by small players in DeFi who are disadvantaged by high costs. The total supply of FRONT is capped at 100 million tokens and is distributed as follows: * Token sale: 32.5% * Ecosystem: 20% * Staking rewards: 13.5% * Reserves: 10% * Team: 10% * Community: 8% * Marketing: 6% The FRONT token can also be used for: * Voting on the Frontier Chain. FRONT token holders make decisions within the framework of decentralized governance. * Providing liquidity to pools. This allows users to earn a passive income. FRONT tokens will bootstrap liquidity for several DeFi protocols. * Staking as a way of securing the Frontier Chain network. Users will do so by either running a validator node or delegating their FRONT tokens to validators.

Frontier aims to solve the problem of fragmentation within the DeFi sector. Significant isolation exists when it comes to swapping, borrowing, lending, staking and providing liquidity. Frontier aims to solve this challenge by aggregating several DeFi applications in one location. Frontier claims that non-[custodial](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/custodial) wallets are mostly suitable for storing [cryptoassets](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/cryptoasset) but are unusable when it comes to DeFi. This forces users to download multiple wallets in an attempt to participate in a single ecosystem. Frontier integrates several wallets such as Metamask, FortMatic, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, and imToken. Its users don’t have to transfer their cryptoassets between different wallets to participate in DeFi.

Frontier has a team of at least 15 members spread across the world. The co-founders of the project are Ravindra Kumar, Palash Jain and Vetrichelvan Jeyapalpandy.

Frontier is a chain-agnostic decentralized finance ([DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-decentralized-finance)) aggregator. The project aims to add DeFi support to several [blockchains](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain), including BandChain ([BAND](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/band-protocol/)), Ethereum ([ETH](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/)), Binance Smart Chain ([BSC](https://coinmarketcap.com/view/binance-smart-chain/)) and Harmony ([ONE](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/harmony/)). Frontier’s applications allow users to manage [staking](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/staking), DeFi positions, best-rate asset swapping, [liquidity](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity) mining, and collateralized debt position ([CDP](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/collateralized-debt-position-cdp)) creation and monitoring. In a nutshell, Frontier is bringing the core functions of DeFi to users, regardless of the platforms they use. Frontier began development in April 2019, and the beta platform launched in November 2019.
