What DMS is
DMS (Dracma) is the native asset of EmpoorioChain. Its balances live in pallet-balances, a field of the chain's state. Nobody can mint it by calling a contract; emission happens in the runtime under the gap-decay rule, and the two tests that guard it simulate 500 eras.
What DMS is not
Not an ERC-20. ERC-20, BEP-20 and similar are standards for tokens that are not the chain's native asset — ETH is not an ERC-20; BNB is not a BEP-20. DMS is to EmpoorioChain what ETH is to Ethereum. The canonical tokenomics makes the point explicitly and extends it: if the ecosystem ever defines an "EMP-20" standard for assets third parties issue on the chain, DMS is precisely what falls outside it.
Not a contract. There is no DMS contract address on EmpoorioChain. Anything presenting one is a different asset.
The EVM view
Through Frontier, an Ethereum-style H160 account sees its DMS balance as the native balance of the chain — eth_getBalance returns it; a value transfer moves it. This is not a wrapped token; it is the same ledger entry read through a different address encoding. A former bridge precompile that minted an ERC-20 view of DMS was retired to keep it that way.
Wrapped representations
On any other chain, DMS can only appear as a wrapper backed by collateral locked on EmpoorioChain. The tokenomics rule: representations on other chains are collateralised wrappers, never the token. Today exactly one exists — a wDMS on the Sepolia testnet with a bridge escrow of zero, which therefore represents nothing. There is no bridge with escrow; the design (Snowbridge) is evaluated and unbuilt.
Why the distinction matters
- Wallets: Eoonia shows DMS once, with two addresses. A wallet that treats DMS as a token needing a contract address is wrong.
- Exchanges: integrate against
pallet-balancesevents andsystem_properties, not an ABI. The integration guide covers deposits, withdrawals and the extrinsic envelope. - Bridges: only a lock-and-mint bridge with verified escrow produces a legitimate wrapped DMS; verify the escrow, not the token's name.
- Fees: the 80/20 burn/treasury split applies to transaction fees, not to token transfers; there is no per-transfer burn on DMS (
quema_por_transferencia: false).
Native assets on the chain
Other fungible assets — DUSD, project tokens — are created in pallet-emp-assets with an asset id and metadata. They are also not contracts, and Solidity can see them through the 0x1155 precompile. A project may still deploy an ERC-20 through Frontier; it works as an Ethereum token and does not receive the native rules (permit, compliance, sponsored fees) unless it calls into them.
Listing competitions
The previous version of this page featured DMS in an exchange's listing competition. DMS is not listed anywhere and no exchange has been approached. When the mainnet gate passes and an exchange integrates, the integration will be against a native asset with 18 decimals, prefix 2026, GRANDPA finality — the facts in the guide, not a contract address.
