#dusk $DUSK @Dusk
I was checking the DUDE explorer for a CreatorPad task and ended up spending way more time than expected on block #4,314,618, epoch 1998.
The 24h numbers caught my eye.
Around 149,389 DUSK was paid in rewards, while roughly 22,163 DUSK was burned in the same period.
That’s close to 15% of the reward amount being burned.
I already knew Dusk has a long-term emission model, but seeing the reward and burn figures side by side made the mechanism feel very different. It’s not just something written in the tokenomics docs. You can actually watch the numbers move on the network.
My first thought was that maybe this was just an unusual day, so I refreshed the explorer a few times. The burn activity was still there.
I also noticed 56 failed transactions during that 24h window. That’s not automatically a red flag, especially compared with total network activity, but it was another reminder that real blockchain usage is always messier than the clean diagrams we usually see.
What I don’t want to do is assume that the 15% figure is permanent. Network activity, staking participation and other factors could change the ratio over time.
That’s the part I’m curious about now.
Does Dusk normally burn around this share of rewards across different epochs, or was this period unusually active?
If anyone has tracked the numbers across multiple epochs, I’d genuinely like to compare notes.
