# FAQ

**Where does the pool's ETH come from?** From token buyers on the curve, plus whatever depth the creator seeds at launch. It does **not** come from mint proceeds, which is why holders selling ROOT can never claw back the creator's mint revenue.

**What happens if everyone sells ROOT at once?** The price slides down the constant-product curve, but the pool stays solvent and keeps quoting. It cannot be drained to a state where it can't pay.

**Do I have to swap my Rootling?** No. You can hold it as a collectible indefinitely. The swap is an option, not an obligation.

**Is this really a new standard?** The *idea* and the *name* are ours; "ERC-7420" only becomes official once the Ethereum EIP process assigns it. Until then, treat it as a working draft with a live reference implementation.

### Glossary

| Term                         | Meaning                                                                                |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Rootling**                 | One NFT in the Rootwood collection — a whole, indivisible ERC-721.                     |
| **ROOT**                     | The bonded fungible token (ERC-20) a Rootling swaps into. Fixed supply of 999,000.     |
| **Swap**                     | Burning a Rootling to receive 500 ROOT. One-way and irreversible.                      |
| **Bond / bonded allocation** | The fixed amount of ROOT tied to each NFT (500).                                       |
| **Constant-product pool**    | An `x·y = k` AMM — the liquidity engine for ROOT ⇄ ETH.                                |
| **Seed depth**               | The ETH the creator puts into the pool at launch to set market thickness.              |
| **Reserve**                  | The ETH the pool holds to back the token side; strictly separate from creator revenue. |
| **Launch**                   | The one-time event that mints ROOT, splits it, and opens swaps + trading.              |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rootwood.gitbook.io/rootwood-docs/faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
