🧵 #DUSK RESEARCH 17 — The Decentralization Test
Dusk uses a staking-based consensus model.
That’s good.
But I don’t judge decentralization by node count alone.
A network can have hundreds of nodes and still have concentrated economic power.
The metrics I want to see:
→ Top validator stake
→ Consensus concentration
→ Independent operators
→ Geographic distribution
→ Stake delegation patterns
$DUSK has previously reported hundreds of active node operators.
That’s encouraging.
But:
Node count ≠ decentralization.
The more important question is:
Who controls the stake?
For a network positioning itself as financial infrastructure, this matters even more.
Decentralization isn’t a marketing checkbox.
It’s an ongoing distribution problem.
