Plain language. Real examples. Verified sources.

Someone asks "what is gas on Ethereum?" and gets either a one-sentence answer that skips everything useful, or a wall of text that assumes you already understand the EVM. There should be something in between.

That is what martin.bot does. Each page answers one question with the depth it actually needs. The gas explainer walks through an EIP-1559 fee calculation with real numbers. The rug pull page shows the exact Squid Game token mechanics. The seed phrase guide traces the full BIP-39 derivation so you understand why word order matters.

Alongside the writing there is a glossary for quick definitions and a set of free calculators that run entirely in your browser, so you can put a number to a concept right after you read about it.

The short version

Read a page, leave knowing something you did not walk in with, and follow the links to check any of it for yourself. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing being sold.

Why this exists

Most crypto education falls into two camps. Marketing content that exists to sell you something, or dense technical docs written for people who already know the answer. Neither helps the person sitting there at 11pm trying to figure out if they should revoke a token approval before bed.

So the aim here is narrow: you type a question, you get a complete answer, and the math is shown rather than hand-waved. When a page says a transaction cost a certain amount, that is a real transaction you could look up, not "imagine Alice sends Bob 1 ETH."

How every page is built

1

Direct answer in the first two sentences. You get what you came for immediately.

2

Plain-language analogy that maps the concept to something you already understand.

3

Step-by-step mechanics so you understand how the thing works, not just what it is called.

4

Worked example drawn from an actual transaction on a live chain, with figures you can confirm on a block explorer.

5

Common misconceptions corrected, because knowing what is wrong matters as much as knowing what is right.

6

External links to primary sources, so nothing here requires blind trust.

What we care about

One question, one page

A page covers a single question at whatever length that question deserves. Some are short. None are padded to hit a word count.

Explained, not advised

The goal is for you to understand a mechanism well enough to make your own call. What you do with that is yours to decide.

Structural over speculative

We focus on how things work, which tends to stay true, rather than price calls, which do not. Each page shows when it was last checked.

Honest about the risks

Where something can lose you money or expose your keys, the page says so plainly instead of glossing over it to keep the tone upbeat.
