What is DMT-NAT?
Block-derived issuance
Digital Matter Theory uses properties of Bitcoin blocks to define token-generation rules. NAT uses the block header's bits field, which encodes the proof-of-work target. Its emission therefore follows that field rather than a discretionary fixed daily allocation. TAP indexers interpret the relevant Bitcoin inscriptions and token rules. The token is a metaprotocol asset, separate from BTC.
Miner distribution
From Bitcoin block eight hundred eighty-five thousand, five hundred eighty-eight, ordinary DMT-NAT mint inscriptions are ignored. Instead, NAT is credited according to outputs in each block's coinbase transaction. Reward shares follow the BTC value of those outputs. The denominator includes all coinbase outputs. Allocations that cannot be credited to a valid address are treated as burned. This creates an additional token reward associated with Bitcoin mining.
Economic purpose
The project aims to supplement miner revenue as Bitcoin's own subsidy declines. NAT does not replace the BTC subsidy or change Bitcoin consensus. Its monetary contribution depends on demand for the token. The current protocol also applies transfer restrictions to addresses receiving miner rewards. Bridged trading routes provide access to other markets, separately from the underlying Bitcoin issuance rules.
