The Dusk node requirements surprised me a little because they are much lighter than I expected for a network targeting regulated financial infrastructure.
A provisioner can run with 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB storage and a 10 Mbps connection. The minimum stake is 1,000 DUSK, and the node needs to stay online and synchronized to participate in consensus.
I actually like this detail because people usually talk about Dusk through privacy, RWAs and compliance, but none of that matters much if running the underlying network requires some massive infrastructure setup.
There is also a separate prover role, which makes sense when the network is dealing with zero knowledge workloads instead of putting every kind of computation onto the same machine.
So the architecture feels a little more practical to me now. A relatively modest provisioner handles consensus participation, while heavier proving work can be separated when needed.
That is a very different thing from simply saying Dusk is built for financial markets.
I’m more curious about how this separation performs once confidential financial applications start generating real proving demand.
