With default configuration:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_dto
end

user = User.create!(
  first_name: 'Luke',
  last_name: 'Skywalker',
  email: 'luke@example.com'
)

user.methods.count
# => 550

app.user_path(user)
# => "/users/1"

user.persisted?
# => true

user_dto = user.to_dto

user_dto2.methods.count
# => 98

app.user_path(user_dto2)
