Abstract We reexamine the minimal Singlet $$+$$ + Triplet Scotogenic Model. where dark matter is the mediator of neutrino mass generation. We assume it to be a scalar WIMP. whose stability follows from the same $${\mathbb {Z}}_{2}$$ Z 2 symmetry that leads to the radiative origin of neutrino masses. https://www.manhattanscasualers.shop/product-category/scarf/
