Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Share-Based Compensation Share-Based Compensation
The Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of all of its authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock on April 14, 2025. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of common stock awarded and available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans, as well as the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding stock options and other equity securities under the Company’s equity incentive plans. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," and Note 13, "Subsequent Events," for additional information.
Prior Stock Plan
In March 2018, Legacy Forge adopted its 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “2018 Plan”), which provided for grants of share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), and other forms of share-based awards. The 2018 Plan was terminated in March 2022 in connection with the adoption of the 2022 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”). Accordingly, no shares are available for future grants under the 2018 Plan following the adoption of the 2022 Plan.
2022 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
In March 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Plan, which provides for grants of share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other forms of share-based awards. In addition, the number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2022 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years, beginning on January 1, 2023 and on each January 1 thereafter and ending on the tenth anniversary of the adoption date of the 2022 Plan, in an amount equal to (i) 3% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock of the Company on the preceding December 31, or (ii) a lesser number of shares as approved by the Company's board of directors. The Company has authorized 1,931,687 shares of common stock for the issuance of awards under the 2022 Plan as of March 31, 2025.
2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In March 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2022 ESPP”). The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2023 and each January 1 thereafter until the 2022 ESPP terminates according to its terms, by the lesser of (i) 271,467 shares of common stock, or (ii) 1% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31. The Company's board of directors may determine that such increase will be less than the amount set forth in (i) and (ii) above. The Company has authorized the issuance of 504,440 shares of common stock under purchase rights granted to the Company's employees or to employees of any of its designated affiliates as of March 31, 2025.
2025 Inducement Plan
In March 2025, the Company adopted the 2025 Inducement Plan (the "Inducement Plan") pursuant to which the Company reserved 100,000 shares of its common stock to be used exclusively for grants of equity-based awards to individuals who were not previously employees or directors of the Company, as an inducement material to the individual’s entry into employment with the Company. The Inducement Plan was adopted by the Company’s board of directors without stockholder approval pursuant to NYSE Listed Company Manual Rule 303A.08.

Share Repurchase Program
In March 2025, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $10 million. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its common stock, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. The program has no expiration date. As of March 31, 2025, $10 million remained available for repurchase under the program.
