# Hybrid Token Model

## Introducing Hybrid Tokens

NATs represent the first implementation of a Hybrid Token. A Hybrid Token is a non-fungible inscription that can be treated to represent a numeric count of fungible assets. You can treat mint inscriptions as a Unique Non-Arbitrary Token (UNAT).&#x20;

Example

The following inscription could represent 10 units of the "satoshi" NAT

```json
{ 

 "p": "tap",

 "op": "dmt-mint",

 "tick": "satoshi",

 "blk": "1"

}
```

Whereas the following inscription could represent 1,000 units of the "satoshi" NAT

```json
{ 

 "p": "tap",

 "op": "dmt-mint",

 "tick": "satoshi",

 "blk": "2"

}
```

Minting block 1 versus block 2 are 2 unique non-fungible inscriptions (UNATs) accounting for separate units of account of the underlying fungible "satoshi" NAT.&#x20;

#### Implication

The underlying implication is that a market can form around the non-fungible aspect of these mint inscriptions alongside the market around the fungible "satoshi" NAT.\
\
\&#xNAN;*As of the deployment of Natcats, the Unique Non-Arbitrary Token (UNAT) extension to the NAT deployment format has been implemented, marking the beginning of associating non-arbitrary data to a non-fungible DMT mint.*

## What are UNATs?<br>

When generating a NAT, the deployer can incorporate a data reference source that gives individual NAT mints unique properties that cover a wide spectrum of functionality. This is similar to how non-fungible tokens can be leveraged to create unique own-able digital collectibles. This makes a DMT mint inscription into **UNIQUE** content on chain. \
\
The Unique Non-Arbitrary Tokens (UNAT) generated through the DMT framework can now serve the purpose of non-fungibility but also share the novel token property of non-arbitrary supply rooted in pattern existence sourced through block data using the [element registry](/digital-matter-theory/introduction/digital-elements/.element-registry.md).<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://digital-matter-theory.gitbook.io/digital-matter-theory/introduction/non-arbitrary-tokens-nats/hybrid-token-model.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
