UTILITY-DR-V5.0 · PAPER · NOT LEGAL ADVICE

THE SIMPLE COIN TEST

Can DR be a useful native unit even though PoE can run without it? Demand unproven. Keep paper.

DECISION=UTILITY EXISTS BUT ECONOMICS UNPROVEN — KEEP PAPER · WINNER=C · ISSUED=FALSE · CAPITAL=£0 · DDEI_BACKS_DR=NO

PUBLIC TRUTH

DR is the proposed native unit of a Proof of Evidence network. It is not issued, not tradeable, and not backed by DDEI, BTC, ETH, or any basket. Holders would not own DDEI constituents. PoE can run on USD/USDC/credits.

Incorrect: Proof of Evidence cannot function without DR.

D · 90

NO TOKEN (fiat/USDC)

C · 67

UTILITY DR NOW + independent DDEI + possible future separate regulated DDEI product

B · 56

BASKET-BACKED DR

A · 50

UTILITY DR

NATURAL BUYER

The only non-circular, non-speculative, non-forbidden candidate is a crypto-native agent/protocol that wants a shared evidence unit and will not settle in USDC. None exist. Utility DR therefore has no observed natural buyer.
