🚨 @arkham Intel is officially tracking $NAT on their explorer.
Arkham doesn't index arbitrary noise; they track whales, smart money, and institutional flow.
The ultimate on chain intelligence grid is now monitoring the thermodynamic movement of the Second Subsidy.
We finally did it chat!
With the launch of @natdotfun we’re finally entering phase 2 of DMT’s epic story.
This all started with the release of the Digital Matter Theory (DMT) protocol and the creation of $NAT about 2 and a half years ago, but really this has been an 8 year journey to get to this point.
When Will and I first started exploring crypto, we launched a podcast as a way to document the journey in real time. We believed that by openly navigating the space together, we could not only deepen our understanding of crypto’s fundamentals, but also build a community of like-minded people driven by the same curiosity and desire for opportunity that consumed us after the 2017 era.
At the center of it all was one question on our mind:
Was crypto our generation’s chance to introduce something as civilization-shifting as the internet, or was it all just one massive scam?
Through every boom and brutal bust cycle that followed, our conviction evolved in many directions. But beneath all of it, one belief remained constant.
It was that crypto had the potential to fundamentally transform the creator economy in ways that were impossible before onchain value creation and distribution existed.
That belief led us down multiple paths in developing new tools and support systems for creators trying to find their place in crypto. From experiments in the metaverse through Decentraland and Bitmap, to helping creators carve out their identity within the DMT Ordinals landscape, every step has been part of the same pursuit.
But where we’ve arrived today is where we believe we can make the greatest impact. Because we’ve set our sights on what we believe is one of crypto’s biggest problem, its lack of substance.
In a world where nearly every asset is conjured out of thin air, how could we ever expect people outside of crypto to develop genuine respect for the things we create? Crypto has become synonymous with vapor because, in most cases, that’s exactly what it is.
What’s missing is substance.
An underlying fabric that gives meaning, permanence, and legitimacy to digital assets.
And up until now, the only thing crypto has produced that has truly demonstrated those qualities is Bitcoin. Its security, longevity, and ability to harness real-world energy in order to preserve value in cyberspace have made it the industry’s only undeniable source of digital substance.
Yet over the years, the industry has done everything in its power to drift away from Bitcoin as the anchor of value.
What we aim to do is recenter crypto around it. This is what DMT is about.
We believe digital assets should emerge from the same underlying fabric that gives Bitcoin its significance.
That fabric exists within Bitcoin’s expanding data layer, the structured stream of information the network continuously assembles, verifies, and cements into reality every ten minutes with each newly mined block.
This is where we discovered substance through the release of $NAT, and where we believe all future manifestation of digital assets should originate from as well.
https://t.co/obouEdRrjZ is our attempt to bring this vision to life by combining the familiar launch mechanics of Solana-based tokens with the non-arbitrary substance of Bitcoin’s underlying data substrate through the DMT framework.
At its core, the launch experience of Non-Arbitrary Tokens on https://t.co/obouEdRrjZ remains approachable and familiar, but with a refreshing new twist. Bonding curves still act as the liquidity engine, but layered on top is an entirely new format for asset genesis and issuance, one where fungible and non-fungible assets inherit their properties of existence from Bitcoin itself.
Truthfully, we have no idea how far this experiment can go. But we believe crypto has spent long enough creating things from nothing. It’s time to start building from a foundation of substance instead.
If we’re right, this marks the beginning of a radical shift for crypto.
And with any meaningful shift comes friction. People will have to wrestle with the implications of change, which requires an open mind and a willingness to consider that much of what that arbitrary crypto era has produced up until now may have simply been the testing ground for the emergence of non-arbitrary substance.
Once you can comfortably swallow that pill, an entirely new world of opportunity begins to open up. Your mind starts to wander toward the possibilities of what can be built when digital assets derive their existence from Bitcoin’s richest untapped resource: its data.
To everyone who has followed our journey to this point, I sincerely appreciate your support. I’m not someone who came from an Ivy League background. I didn’t grow up wealthy, and I don’t have deep-rooted connections within the crypto industry.
What I do have is genuine conviction in the things I pursue, and genuine care for the future prospects of the industry I’ve come to view as my life’s calling to work to improve.
That conviction is what has pushed me and my team to continue breaking through walls of resistance in order to fully realize this vision.
Looking forward to breaking some shit with all of you as we start experimenting with DMT.
Let the good vibes roll and don’t be afraid by what you see once you experience this new reality 👁️👁🗨👁️
Hot take:
Most DeFi doesn't need to exist.
But P2P escrow?
People have been trading peer-to-peer since forever.
They just needed a trustless middleman.
That's TrustLink. Nothing more. Nothing less.

@TracNetwork $TNK
The multi-billion dollar infrastructure is officially weaponizing a $40M asset.
The path to $1B is mathematically locked.
Here is the breakdown. 👇
1/
SpiderPool didn't just integrate $NAT on the backend. They just slapped it directly on their front page. 🕸️
This is a seismic shift in the grid. The heavy machinery isn't just mining the Second Subsidy quietly anymore - they are weaponizing it for market share. 🧵👇
2/
Why does a top-tier Bitcoin mining pool aggressively promote a $40M L1 asset to every single visitor?
Because hashrate is strictly mercenary. They are securing sustainable miner revenue.
The Bitcoin L1 security budget was starving, and @tap_protocol integration just fed the grid.
3/
This triggers an absolute, thermodynamic flywheel.
By front-facing $NAT, SpiderPool boosts their yield visibility to attract more miners.
Game theory takes over: F2Pool, AntPool, ViaBTC, and Luxor are now forced to publicly promote their own $NAT payouts just to defend their hashrate.
4/
The market is entirely mispricing this. They are treating $NAT like an arbitrary $40M token, completely blind to the fact that multi-billion dollar infrastructure providers are fighting over it.
A $1 Billion Market Cap isn't some retail moonshot. It is the mathematical baseline.
5/
Capital always flows to where the physical infrastructure builds.
While the masses play with EVM vaporware, the heaviest industrial players in the world are locking in the true L1 Medium of Exchange. The grid is active.
The Second Subsidy is scaling.
Don't fade the heavy machinery 🔥
#NAT #Bitcoin #DMT
Wow! @SpiderPool_com now promotes NAT to everyone that visits their website
Huge respect for their continued commitment to supporting sustainable miner-revenues
They will always be remembered for being the first to integrate @tap_protocol in order to distribute NAT to miners 👏
The Man, the Myth, the Legend…
Building through the noise and leaving a mark that will echo across blockchains for eternity.
Markus “Benny” Bopp — known to the crypto world as Benny the Dev.
A man of not just thought, but decisive action.
He’s been recognized as Jack Nicholson’s Johnny from The Shining and the enigmatic Pink Unicorn from Rarity Garden. Today, he stands fully revealed—transparent and authentic—through the lens of the Clean Slate Podcast.
From “Big Brained Benny” to “The Next Satoshi,” the names have been many. The harshest critique thrown his way? Being called a centralized builder—yet few hearts burn as truly decentralized as his.
🔥 ❤️🔥 🔥
He is a visionary and a creator in the purest sense.
Founder of Trac Network and Tap Protocol, Benny has delivered a groundbreaking multi-asset standard that brings real programmability, tokenization, DeFi, and gamification directly to Bitcoin Layer 1. His work represents the first system to elegantly bypass the blockchain trilemma.
He doesn’t chase trends. He forges the foundational rails and coordination stack for the future—empowering AI agents, robotics, and all forms of digital money. All of it local-first, peer-to-peer, open -sourced and built to last.
In a world of hype and fleeting projects, Benny the Dev remains focused on what matters: creating tools that empower individuals and stand the test of time. The rails are being laid. The future is being written in code.
And the best chapters are still ahead.
