$NAT: The first protocol token and universal token of the DMT Digital Material Theory! Not understanding it is probably the best investment, right? $NAT has been rising against the trend in the BTC ecosystem, and it is the first protocol token issued by the DMT Digital Material Theory. The proposal of the DMT Digital Material Theory has opened up a new frontier for blockchain, equivalent in significance to smart contracts, returning from smart contracts (following Code is Law) to block elements (following Block as ledger), and back to the minimalism of Bitcoin. It allows us to examine what Bitcoin's native digital material is from a new perspective, uniquely belonging to the characteristics of the Bitcoin ecosystem, discovered from block elements rather than arbitrarily created by contracts. $NAT is the first protocol token issued simultaneously with the DMT Digital Material Theory. 2. $NAT is the first token of the non-arbitrary token issuance protocol. The DMT Digital Material Theory believes that token issuance protocols can be mainly divided into two paths: arbitrary tokens and non-arbitrary tokens. BTC, ETH, and ORDI are representatives of arbitrary tokens, set subjectively by the creators; non-arbitrary tokens are more like mining, excavating from existing block elements rather than being subjectively set by the creator. $NAT is the first token of the non-arbitrary token issuance protocol, publicly revealing the protocol standards for mining block elements. Among the two token issuance models, NAT represents the first branch of the token issuance model, with $NAT becoming its first protocol token. 3. $NAT is the first companion token of block-associated materials. Just like in the real world where mining gold mines often yields many associated minerals, while mining BTC, the digital materials generated in sync with Bitcoin blocks can be referred to as block-associated materials. The first block-associated material is Bitmap, which is the first block-associated NFT. Its issuance increases according to block data and is also a type of non-arbitrary asset; $NAT is the first token of block-associated materials. 4. $NAT is the universal token of the DMT digital world. The DMT Digital Material Theory is unveiling a new digital world, just like discovering gold in the real world and reaching a consensus as a general equivalent. The digital material world also needs a token that is naturally discovered from blocks and becomes a general equivalent, representing the value of the entire DMT protocol and the DMT digital world. $NAT is generated and increased with blocks—each block, each satoshi, each UTXO transaction, and each digital material created by BRC20 is valued with the output of BITS—NAT can be used as the universal currency in this digital material world, just like the US dollar in today's real world, but it is non-sovereign issuance, discovered in blocks, and reached by community consensus, similar to the consensus process of gold and silver as general equivalents. The value of various DMT digital materials discovered in the digital world needs a medium for measurement and exchange. Bitcoin, as digital gold advocating value storage, is becoming less suitable for general payments, just like gold in the real world, where fiat currency reserves gold. Meanwhile, $NAT stored 546 satoshis at the time of inscription casting, so it can be linked to BTC, perfectly replacing Bitcoin in many scenarios for general payments and circulation.
