Asset
DRK
Bridge DRK from Ethereum into Atomic Chain as a utility representation for CAPPS, AI Core access, proof drops, and premium route unlocks.
Bridge
DRK bridge path, not DRK gas-token launch.
The chosen launch model is Ethereum-canonical DRK bridged into Atomic Chain as access and utility, while wL6ETH stays the protected settlement rail. This bridge is planned and documented here, not live on this route.
Decision
DRK should bridge first and stay out of gas-token duty at launch.
Settlement
wL6ETH
Keep wL6ETH in the protected settlement lane for checkout and internal utility creation after payment proof.
Gas
Deferred
Do not use DRK as the custom gas token at launch. The fee-pricer and batch-poster path adds too much production risk too early.
Canonical rule
Ethereum first
Mainnet DRK remains canonical. Atomic Chain DRK is a bridged execution form and should be described that way publicly.
Flow
Production bridge flow
Step 1
Lock on Ethereum
A parent-chain escrow contract locks canonical DRK and emits a deposit event.
Step 2
Mint on Atomic Chain
The child-chain bridge mints or credits bridged DRK after the parent-chain action is proven.
Step 3
Use in Atomic routes
Bridged DRK is consumed by access, utility, and proof routes rather than by chain gas at launch.
Step 4
Burn for withdrawal
A withdrawal burns bridged DRK on Atomic Chain before parent-chain release is allowed.
Integrated utility pack
Bridge utility now points into the DRK module.
The DRK builder pack is wired into Atomic Chain so bridge-facing utility, AI Core access, profile logic, and bundle surfaces can be reviewed in one place.
Public route

Docs
Integration context
Atomic Chain docs now treat the DRK pack as an attached builder module rather than a floating standalone bundle.
Rule
Still proof-safe
Integration into the chain module does not imply live bridge, live token sales, or live settlement.
