eDMT Protocol — Ethereum Mainnet

Forged by Burn.
Bound to Block.

eDMT records the ETH burned by EIP-1559 in each block as an on-chain credential. One unit of burn, one mintable and holdable eNAT.

Minting reads block data. Nothing else goes in.

Plate II./Three Invariants

Block as Ledger. Burn as Currency.

eDMT does not build on top of Ethereum. It returns to a fact Ethereum itself cannot deny after EIP-1559: every block burns base fee. eDMT uses that burn as its sole minting input.

I.invariant

Frozen

The contract is locked after deployment — not upgradeable, not pausable. Bytecode and ABI are public; anyone can verify the full logic on-chain.

II.invariant

Bounded

Supply cannot exceed what Ethereum itself has burned. The ceiling is not chosen — it is whatever the chain spends.

bound ≤ Σ EIP-1559 burn

III.invariant

Indivisible

One block, one eNAT. The block's burn must reach the threshold before minting is allowed. Each block has exactly one minting window — no extensions.

Plate III./Manifesto · §I

Why eDMT

Bitcoin found its element in proof of work — a physical anchor outside the chain. Ethereum, by becoming a world computer, drifted away from such an anchor. EIP-1559 quietly returned one: every block now consumes ETH that no one can recover.

“Block as Ledger.”

Ethereum, in its pursuit of «code is law», drifted away from a more primitive truth — the block itself is the law. eDMT places the block back at the foreground: not as a number in an explorer, but as the unit of value itself.

“Burn as Currency.”

EIP-1559 turned ETH into the fuel that ETH spends. Every block that processes a transaction destroys ETH — irreversibly, without anyone's permission. eDMT treats this destruction as a measurable, ownable, transferable substance. Burned ETH is no longer waste — it is matter.

“Forged by Burn. Bound to Block.”

An eNAT is the certificate of one block's combustion. To mint it is not to create — it is to recognize that this block, here and now, has burned. To hold it is to hold a sealed unit of Ethereum's own consumption. There is nothing else inside.
