EDM is EDMA’s utility and governance token. It is used to pay protocol fees on value-moving actions (e.g., trades, retirements, EMT releases) and for staking/governance programs.

• Burn policy: 50% of each protocol fee burns; the remaining 50% (the “treasury half”) funds attestors, network ops, builders, and ecosystem.
• Gas: execution gas is a pass-through via a Paymaster (users can pay gas in EDM/EDUSD; the Paymaster settles tiny ETH to the sequencer).
• Energy/carbon trades typically use 2% buyer + 2% seller marketplace fees; the burn policy applies to the protocol-fee portion (gas is not burned)
