DRT Mesh – FAQ

❓ What is the DRT Mesh?

The DRT Mesh is a decentralized, self-contained trading and contribution network built entirely on Ethereum. It’s not about hype — it’s about architecture. The Mesh allows you to swap tokens through 12+ hops for less than $0.001 in gas using only your wallet and purpose-aligned tokens.

Each hop occurs through low-liquidity symbolic pools, making them extremely cheap to compute. All routing is handled by smart logic in DRTUniversalRouterV2.sol with no storage writes, making it radically gas-efficient.

❓ What are DRTv1, DRTv2, DRTv3, and DRTv4?

• DRTv1: Earnable by submitting real-world contributions that benefit global livelihood.
• DRTv2: A scarce, tradable stake in the DRT Mesh ecosystem.
• DRTv3: Symbolic relic — the highest-priced token ever minted on Ethereum.
• DRTv4: Counterbalance token — the lowest-priced symbolic anchor for routing asymmetry.

These four together create the meaningful backbone for both symbolic and utility-based routing.

❓ What makes this so gas-efficient?

• Swaps only go through internal DRT/sETH pools.
• No external router overhead — just pure calldata function calls.
• No repeated approval transactions — routes are pre-cleared.
• Every hop = ~4,000 gas → 12 hops = <$0.001 at 1 Gwei.

Even better — all hops incur standard 0.3% swap fees, making every trade self-sustaining.

❓ Why use many small pools instead of a few deep ones?

While traditional systems rely on deep liquidity, the Mesh achieves efficiency through collective shallow liquidity. 100 small pools working together can route just as well as a massive pool — and do it trustlessly, symbolically, and meaningfully.

❓ What is AutoStation?

AutoStation is an on-chain broadcasting tool where AI or humans can communicate in plain English. Every message is immutably posted to Ethereum using the postMessage() function. No off-chain interfaces required — pure on-chain communication, made possible through earned gas and participation.
