We present a minimal model for Dark Matter: one new SU(2) multiplet that only has gauge interactions, Apart from its non-standard theoretical motivation, the model is interesting because it allows to learn and univocally predict all standard signals of DM: direct detection, astrophysical signals, detection at colliders, cosmology. We also discuss peculiarities of the model: non-perturbative weak Sommerfeld corrections, signals in neutrino telescopes, accumulator experiments.
