Plain language. Real examples. Verified sources.

Someone asks "what is gas on Ethereum?" and gets either a one-sentence answer that skips the important parts, or a wall of text that assumes you already understand the EVM. Most explanations land somewhere between unhelpful and overwhelming.

That is what martin.bot addresses. Each page answers one question with the depth it deserves. 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.

In short

Read a page, leave with something you did not know before, and check the sources yourself if you want. No accounts, no upsells.

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 when you are sitting there at 11pm trying to figure out whether you should revoke a token approval.

The goal here is straightforward: you ask 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 can 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

Each page covers a single question at whatever length it deserves. Some are concise. None are padded to hit a word count.

Explained, not advised

The goal is to help you understand how something works so you can make informed decisions. What you do with that understanding is up to you.

Structural over speculative

Focus on how things work, which stays true, rather than price predictions, which don't. Each page shows when it was last reviewed.

Honest about risks

Where something can lose you money or expose your keys, the page says so directly instead of glossing over it.
