# `Raxol.Gateway.Adapter.Discord.GatewaySocket.MintTransport`
[🔗](https://github.com/DROOdotFOO/raxol/blob/raxol_gateway-v0.2.0/lib/raxol/gateway/adapter/discord/gateway_socket/mint_transport.ex#L1)

`Mint.WebSocket`-backed transport for the Discord gateway socket.

Requires the optional `:mint_web_socket` dependency; `connect/2` returns
`{:error, :mint_web_socket_not_loaded}` without it. WebSocket-level pings
are answered here (pong) and never surface as events; Discord's
application-level heartbeats are the socket's concern.
