Here is how the mechanism and the burn actually work.","How WATS ATS tokenomics work: ERC-4337 account abstraction and LayerZero OFT let you pay every fee in one token instead of native gas, and collected ATS is burned to cut supply from 100,000,000 toward 30,000,000 — the first and only wallet to combine both.","\u003Ch2>Two frictions most wallets never fix\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Multi-chain crypto has two quiet taxes. The first is native gas: every chain insists on being paid in its own coin — ETH on the EVM world, SOL on Solana, Toncoin on TON — so you keep idle balances of tokens you never wanted just to move the tokens you do. The second is rarely discussed: most fee or utility tokens are inflationary or static, so the fees a network generates accumulate somewhere rather than benefiting holders. WATS answers both with one design — and does it without ever taking custody of your keys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>Charged in ATS, not native gas\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>In the WATS Hot Wallet, every action — transfers, swaps, staking — is charged in a single token, ATS (Alltoscan Token), instead of the native gas of whatever chain you are on. From your side, no ETH, SOL or Toncoin leaves your wallet; ATS does. The network still receives its native gas underneath — that never goes away — but a paymaster settles it for you, so provisioning gas per chain stops being your job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>What ERC-4337 does here\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>On EVM chains, the mechanism is ERC-4337, the account-abstraction standard. It introduces a \u003Cem>paymaster\u003C\u002Fem>: a component that can pay a transaction's native gas on your behalf while charging you in a different token. That is the precise step where \"pay in ATS instead of ETH\" happens. ERC-4337 is an EVM standard, so it governs the EVM side; on Solana and TON, an equivalent fee-payer\u002Frelayer plays the same role. The point is not the plumbing on any one chain — it is that you never have to think about the native gas token again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>What OFT does here\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>A single fee token is only simple if it is genuinely one token everywhere. ATS is a LayerZero OFT — an Omnichain Fungible Token — which means it exists natively across chains rather than as a pile of wrapped or bridged copies. One ATS balance is spendable on EVM, Solana and TON alike. Combine that with ERC-4337-style abstraction and the result is the experience the ATS fee model promises: hold one token, transact anywhere, never chase native gas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>The burn: from 100,000,000 to 30,000,000\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Here is where WATS parts company with ordinary fee tokens. The ATS collected as fees is not recycled or pooled — it is burned. Every fee paid permanently removes ATS from circulation, driving total supply down from an initial 100,000,000 toward a 30,000,000 floor. It is a deflationary model powered by ordinary use: the more the wallet is used, the scarcer ATS becomes, until supply settles at roughly a third of where it started. The burn is a design commitment tied to real activity, not a fixed calendar, so the pace tracks usage rather than a countdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>The first and only wallet to combine both\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Plenty of wallets abstract gas: ERC-4337 paymasters bring token-paid gas to EVM apps that adopt them, and a few wallets route fees through a sponsor. What no other wallet does is put these together the way WATS does — ERC-4337 + OFT single-token fees, charged instead of native gas on every transfer, paired with a fee burn that drives supply from 100M down to 30M. That specific combination is what makes WATS the first and only wallet of its kind, and it is a claim grounded in mechanism, not marketing: the standards are open, the token is one omnichain asset, and the burn is visible in supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>What it does not change: your keys\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>None of this touches custody. WATS is non-custodial across the Chrome extension, the mobile app and the Hot Wallet: you hold your own keys, and WATS never holds a key. Paying fees in ATS does not hand control to anyone, and burning ATS does not either. The fee token decides \u003Cem>which token pays\u003C\u002Fem>; the burn decides \u003Cem>how supply changes\u003C\u002Fem>; custody — \u003Cem>who can authorise a move of funds\u003C\u002Fem> — stays entirely with you. Conflating a single fee token with a single point of control gets the model exactly backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>Where to go next\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>For the canonical reference on how a charge is estimated and taken, see the \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fats-fee\">ATS fee page\u003C\u002Fa>.
