đŸ§” **#DUSK RESEARCH 4 — Staking Isn’t Free Money**

“Stake DUSK and earn rewards.”

Simple.

But protocol economics are more complicated.

$DUSK uses staking to secure network consensus, with provisioners
receiving rewards from network economics.

The important question isn’t simply:

**What is the staking yield?**

It’s:

**Where does the yield ultimately come from?**

If network fees are small, rewards can be heavily dependent on token emissions.

That can be useful for bootstrapping security.

But long term, a healthy network should ideally generate increasing economic activity.

So I’m watching three things:

→ Active stake
→ Network fees
→ Participation

Not just APR.

Because sustainable security is ultimately about whether the network is creating enough economic activity to justify its security costs.

That’s the real staking story.
