to be honest I've been hearing @Dusk_Foundation talk about institutional adoption for months now. Same story every time regulated assets, MiCA this, compliance that. After a while, I stoped listening to the markting and started checking what actually keeps the network safe.
What I found was kinda concerning.
DUSK has a CER score of only 29%. That means independent auditors looked at barely a third of the code. No insurance fund for users. No bug bounty program where white hats can report vulnerabilites and get paid.
And here's the thing DUSK mainnet went live back in January 2025. This ain't some testnet project still figuring things out. It's been running live for over a year and a half.
For a chain saying it's built for custody providers and tokenized securities, that feels off. Big institutions don't care about speed or partnership tweets. They care about threat modeling and whther there's any safety net if something goes wrong. Right now, DUSK checks none of those boxes.
Yeah, the team recently launched DuskEVM testnet and claims security upgrades are coming late 2026. Fine. But core protections shouldn't be "coming soon" on a live network. Some audits exist, sure. But the deeper stuff the layers pension funds and asset managers actually ask about that's not there yet.
Price-wise, DUSK hovering around $0.066 with volume near $3-4 million. Quiet day, thin activity.
But the number that stuck with me wasn't the price.
It was zero. As in zero public reward for security researchers.
If DUSK wants real institutional money, looking the part isn't enough. The architecture has to match the talk. Right now it don't.
Do you think the upcoming DuskEVM upgrad can fix these structural security gaps before competitors take over the RWA space?
