$NAT: A Bitcoin-Native Token Rewarding Miners

$NAT is the primary token of the NatGMI ecosystem. 

$NAT is part of DMT, a concept that uses Bitcoin’s existing system to create tokens and apps without changing its core.

What Is Digital Matter Theory (DMT)?

Digital Matter Theory (DMT) views Bitcoin as more than a digital currency. It treats Bitcoin’s blockchain (especially its block and difficulty data) as a foundation for creating verifiable assets. Imagine it as an extension of Bitcoin’s functionality.

The framework utilizes tools such as Ordinals and Inscriptions to associate data with Bitcoin transactions. This enables DMT to develop Bitcoin assets that are clear and verifiable. These resources can be directly associated with Bitcoin’s block data.

The Role of $NAT

At the center of this system is $NAT (Non-Arbitrary Token). It compensates Bitcoin miners by connecting the production and price of Bitcoin to the mining operation. A new block of Bitcoin can create a certain number of $NAT tokens. The amount varies according to the bits field, which indicates the level of difficulty of mining.

How $NAT Rewards Miners

Miners secure the Bitcoin network by solving complex puzzles. However, because Bitcoin’s block rewards halve every four years, the income of miners declines. $NAT fills that gap by adding a new revenue stream.

Initially, anyone could mint $NAT on a first-come, first-served basis. Later, the system transitions to a miner-redirect model, where BTC miners earn $NAT each time they mine a block. This adds a continuous bonus layer to their regular Bitcoin rewards, helping to maintain long-term security.

So, $NAT’s supply adjusts to Bitcoin’s mining difficulty. This means that when BTC mining difficulty rises, the system mints fewer tokens. When it becomes easier, the system mints more. This keeps $NAT aligned with Bitcoin’s health and energy use.

Strengthening Bitcoin’s Security

$NAT strengthens Bitcoin by increasing miner incentives, which boosts the network’s hash rate and security. DMT cross-chain integration allows applications to anchor authority in Bitcoin. It also facilitates quicker and less expensive operations, such as minting, trading, and transferring, across different chains.

Why $NAT Is “Non-Arbitrary”

Creators usually design most tokens how they want, setting their own rules and supply. $NAT is different. Its construction is open and based on actual block information of Bitcoin. The development of $NAT is in line with the natural growth of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin has the capacity to continue adding new blocks, and as long as this remains the case, $NAT will grow, with its supply reflecting the continued activity of Bitcoin.

Conclusion

Still in its infancy, $NAT has the potential to make Bitcoin remain safe and viable over the next several decades.
