I used to have a habit: when a project said the mainnet was live, I would automatically assume it meant it was ready to start observing. Later, I found that many projects look the same whether their mainnet is live or not. Only a few addresses are running on-chain, and the transaction volume is even worse than a typical “shitcoin” pool. After Dusk’s mainnet had been running for more than eight months, I asked myself one question: setting aside all the technical narrative—cryptography innovation, compliance, architecture—how many people are actually doing real things on Dusk today?

My answer isn’t very optimistic.
DuskEVM’s testnet has just launched, and the mainnet DApp ecosystem is still in its early stages. Active addresses are about 19,000. For an institutional RWA-focused chain, this number might be acceptable—institutions don’t need millions of users; a few major customers are enough. But the problem is that NPEX’s €300 million in assets are still at the stage of being prepared for on-chain deployment, not yet on-chain and generating transactions. The Dusk team is also aware of this issue. Their 2026 strategy is very clear: technical and hardware upgrades, cutting block time from 15 seconds to 6 seconds and tripling throughput. Ecosystem coordination—linking liquidity providers and compliant trading counterparties. Compliance deepening—meeting different institutional regulatory needs with tailored requirements. All three in tandem. But there’s a deep gulf between planning and execution. I’ve seen too many projects that look great in the roadmap stage, and then get stuck once people actually start using them. Technology can be built by engineers; an ecosystem can only be built by real users running it. The real test for Dusk isn’t whether the Boreas protocol can be upgraded and deployed on the testnet, and it isn’t whether block time can be cut to 6 seconds. The real test has only one thing: by the end of 2026, how many real assets have actually been tokenized on NPEX and completed tokenization on Dusk, producing real transactions on the Dusk chain? If the answer is “many,” then Dusk has crossed the hurdle from a technical project to commercial infrastructure. If the answer is “few,” or still “in plans,” then no matter how beautiful the architecture or how sexy the cryptography is, it’s only a love letter to regulators written by engineers.

Data doesn’t feel like it lies.
I’m just waiting quarter over quarter for the network fee growth. If fees rise, it means real settlement is happening. If it stalls, then this is another narrative trade.

I’ve noticed that the Dusk community is going through a silent transformation—from a community united by price to a community united by goals!
There’s a pretty interesting phenomenon.
Open up the Dusk forum and developer channels, and you’ll find that the hottest discussions are no longer about when the coin will rise, but about how to design compliant solutions. This subtle shift, in practice, signals a profound change in the community’s mindset. It’s no longer a crowd of retail traders gathering around price fluctuations; instead, participants come together around shared objectives.

This kind of shift is something many projects simply can’t see.
Most projects’ community vitality is built on price expectations—lively when prices rise, silent when they fall, and when everything hits zero, people scatter like birds from a fallen tree. What’s special about the Dusk community is that the quality of its discussions remains stable even amid price movements. The staking rate stays at a fairly consistent level—not because short-term incentives are so generous, but because participants are paying for the network’s long-term security.

Of course, this doesn’t mean the community has no disagreements. On the contrary, the fiercest debates in the Dusk community often come from the most committed supporters—arguments over the roadmap. Whether Phoenix adoption is high enough, whether Dusk EVM will marginalize native capabilities, how much collaboration with NPEX can truly be converted into real transactions. These debates aren’t a sign of confidence fading; they reflect how deeply people are engaged. A community with only two voices—“to the moon” and “buy the dip”—is, in essence, lacking in depth of thinking. That the Dusk community can produce compliant方案 and sustain discussions at this level shows it has already moved past the stage of whether to believe, entering the stage of how to get things done.

I think this culture can’t be built no matter how much money you throw at it. It can only accumulate gradually—through sustained alignment of vision and real technical progress.
And once that accumulation is complete, the project will gain the strongest resilience. Even if the coin price fluctuates, the community keeps running steadily. For a project in its eighth year, this kind of resilience may be worth more than any technical breakthrough.

I noticed that Dusk has recently made a very low-key technical iteration that many people didn’t seem to catch. On May 12, the Boreas protocol upgrade—i.e., the Rusk v1.7.0 release—was officially rolled out to the testnet. The upgrade notes written by the official sound very professional: optimizing network resilience and improving the resource accounting mechanism, enhancing client compatibility, and adapting to DuskEVM runtime requirements.

In fact, Hao thinks it can be summed up in one sentence: it’s a comprehensive strengthening of the underlying network, making the entire public chain run more stably and handle volatility better.

I think @Dusk went ahead with this iteration upgrade for reasons closely tied to Dusk’s modular architecture. At the bottom, it relies on DuskDS for settlement and data storage, while the top layer relies on DuskEVM to execute various transactions and smart contracts. The benefits of separating the settlement layer and execution layer are obvious: even if the upper-layer applications become more complex, they won’t slow down the settlement speed. But the weakness is just as clear: in two-layer architectures, data interaction between layers—if it gets stuck or has a vulnerability—can easily trigger network anomalies. The core purpose of the Boreas upgrade is to open up data flow channels across different layers and optimize the underlying runtime logic. The companion Rusk Wallet v0.4.0 was also updated in sync, which shows that the project isn’t only optimizing low-level technology—the front-end tooling ecosystem is being improved as well.

Let me put it another way: smooth testnet operation doesn’t necessarily mean the mainnet can withstand real market conditions. After the official launch, whether node operators can complete version upgrades on time, and whether bugs might appear when there’s large-scale user interaction—these are all unknown variables, and they’re exactly where the project’s true strength is tested.

I personally haven’t run or tinkered with nodes; it’s really too time- and energy-consuming. But watching Dusk iteratively improve its underlying protocol step by step and steadily完善 the ecosystem, I can clearly feel the team has been doing solid work—no idling in place just to chase hype. And the coin price is also rising steadily, which is what I most want to see!
#dusk $DUSK @Dusk

There is an important event today! Don’t miss it!
TMX should be able to query the community airdrop right away. When I went in to claim the daily reward today, I found the @TermMax community airdrop allocation countdown screen. You should be able to check later this afternoon to see how many tokens can be allocated.
I’ve been working on this project for over a year, and I really hope we’ll get a great result!

I’ve always remembered a line from TermMax’s whitepaper: “TMX isn't funding a roadmap. The protocol is thriving.”
Meaning, we’re not issuing tokens to raise money for development—the machine is already running, and token issuance is just like adding a revenue distribution controller to it.
That passage still makes me feel quite positive about it. I just hope it isn’t self-promotion!

Actually, I found that TermMax’s asset breakdown is written very clearly. FT is a zero-coupon bond-like fixed-rate token: lenders buy at a discount, redeem at face value at maturity, and the yield is locked in from the moment you enter. XT is a yield token. 1 FT plus 1 XT equals 1 debt token.
Borrowers receive XT at the same time they get the loan, so they can immediately sell it to obtain liquidity—the borrowing cost is fixed right at the entry point.
GT is a leveraged NFT that packages both collateral and debt information into a single NFT, enabling you to reach your target leverage in one click.

And I saw that TermMax has already upgraded V1 to V2.
The core upgrades of V2 are described explicitly in the whitepaper. Atomic Orders allows the same liquidity to cover multiple markets at the same time. Idle Fund Deployment automatically routes unmatched funds to capture floating yields from Aave and Morpho—basically to eliminate idle funds with zero yield in the system.
#termmax

Now TMX has everything ready. All that’s left is for the 25th TGE to kick off the explosion. I can see that the market sentiment around TMX is indeed very high right now, and it also makes me have a small expectation for its launch.
Friends, you can go check later to see how many tokens you can get allocated!

Yesterday was Chinese Qixi Festival. Without a girlfriend to accompany me, I went out for late-night snacks with a few brothers, and we ended up talking about Dusk’s mainnet data. Different people’s interpretations can lead to two completely different conclusions.

The optimistic camp claims that the active addresses remain stable at around 19,000, while the daily transaction volume reaches the hundreds of thousands of dollars. After the bidirectional bridge went live, on-chain activity once surged by nearly 47%. After the mainnet launch, the coin price rose by 60% within the first week, with the weekly increase landing in the 85–90% range.

Those who take a more pessimistic view point out that in more than 70% of blocks, the number of transactions is fewer than two, and empty blocks occur frequently. Daily average transaction counts barely break 1,000, and the number of active addresses per day across the whole network is even less than 80.

It’s hard to directly determine which set of claims is true or false. Most likely, both sides aren’t lying—only the statistical scope and reference standards differ.

The figure of 19,000 active addresses is indeed plausible, and it’s also possible that the daily active addresses are fewer than 80. The former counts accumulated active addresses over a period, while the latter filters for unique active accounts within a single day. The two sets of numbers don’t represent the same metric. But there’s one objective fact that can’t be avoided: compared with mainstream public chains, Dusk’s current on-chain activity still shows a noticeable gap. The overall depth of the DEX liquidity pools is relatively thin, so the platform can only attract liquidity by offering relatively high annualized rewards.

I’m not saying that Dusk’s future development will necessarily stall. The mainnet has only been live for a little over half a year. For a brand-new public chain, it’s normal for activity to be low at the beginning. The only thing is that the fan community shouldn’t selectively release only good-news data, and skeptics shouldn’t dismiss the project outright based only on negative numbers.

Personally, I’ll focus on tracking three things going forward. First, when the assets corresponding to NPEX will truly be implemented and run on-chain. Second, after the Boreas upgrade is completed, how the network’s real stability performs. Third, whether the OpenDusk plan can genuinely energize the entire community. As for all kinds of other public opinion and commentary, most of it is just noise.
#dusk $DUSK @Dusk

TermMax has really been gaining a lot of attention lately. On one side there’s the 25 TGE; on the other, there are the Booster campaign and the Creator Center event. And on March 25, the Token Terminal daily active address rankings had it placed second among DeFi lending protocols, only behind Aave. Its TVL broke through $100 million, spanning 8 chains. It even became a Canton Network validator.

Gradually, I’m getting dizzy from all this hype…
But after reading all these announcements, there are a few questions I still can’t quite figure out.
First is the definition of TVL. Data differs significantly across channels—some say $64 million, some say $71 million, and some even claim it’s over $100 million. If even the most basic figure for locked value can’t be clarified, then where does the credibility of an “ecosystem thriving” narrative come from? I also urgently want the accurate numbers.
Second is TMX’s value capture. Total supply is 1 billion tokens, and initial circulating supply at TGE is about 20%. But is TMX’s core function governance, or can it directly capture protocol revenues? If it’s only a governance token, then what supports its value? And when it launches on the 25th, will it get overwhelmed by a big sell-off?
Third is the actual distribution of liquidity. Although it’s deployed across 8 chains, will the capital be concentrated only on Ethereum? Multi-chain deployment and multi-chain activity are two different things. Personally, I’m still more inclined toward the BSC chain—after all, the “noble chain” isn’t something everyone can afford to use!

I don’t deny TermMax’s direction or the practicality of the project itself. Fixed interest rates fill a real gap in DeFi, and the logic of combining it with RWA is also coherent. V2 is also truly addressing the liquidity fragmentation problem from V1. These are all tangible achievements of @TermMax . But no matter how attractive the early “promises” are, if a big dump happens right after launch, it will disappoint the community co-builders. So I hope the project team also has the bigger picture—so that in this bull market, we can see another project token that’s even better!#termmax

Review TermMax’s documentation and find that its tokenized design is more interesting than I imagined.

A single loan is split into two tokens. The FT Fixed Token is a zero-coupon bond-style fixed-rate token: today you buy it for 0.95 USDC, and you get back 1 USDC at maturity. The yield is locked in from the moment you enter.

The GT Gearing Token is a leveraged NFT that records the total collateral and debt amount of the leverage position. 1 FT plus 1 GT equals the complete debt structure, but the principal and interest are physically separated. @TermMax

The core logic of this design is that GT and FT trading encapsulate the complex leverage and lending workflow into simple token trades. Users don’t need to repeatedly operate across multiple protocols—everything can be completed with a single click: fixed-rate borrowing and leverage looping.

On top of that, V2 adds several key upgrades. Composable Base Yield automatically stacks floating yield from AaveMorpho on any unmatched funds. Atomic Order lets a single liquidity transaction cover multiple markets at once. One-click Rollover allows borrowers to roll their position directly into a market with a later maturity date, or switch to Morpho’s floating-rate market—borrowers can finally actively manage the duration of their fixed-rate debt.

The technical logic is indeed seamless. But no matter how elegant the tokenized design is, it still has to be built on real liquidity. The pricing relationship between GT and FT, as well as the arbitrage mechanisms across markets with different maturity dates—these are quite elegant in theory. I’ll keep observing whether running it in practice introduces new complexity. #termmax

The RWA track is lively right now, but only a few institutions truly dare to use it. The reason is actually not hard to guess: you have to both protect commercially sensitive data and satisfy regulators in different countries. Put these two requirements together, and most projects get stuck.

Dusk took a different path. Since its establishment in 2018, it has written zero-knowledge proofs and selective disclosure directly into its protocol. After the mainnet goes live on January 7, 2026, the top layer will be an EVM-compatible application layer—Solidity developers can directly deploy applications—while the bottom layer will be a settlement layer based on zero-knowledge proofs. This modular design allows institutions to benefit from on-chain efficiency without sacrificing privacy or compliance.@Dusk
More importantly, it’s seeing real-world partner deployment. Its collaboration with the regulated Dutch exchange NPEX has moved into a practical phase: tokenized securities worth more than €300 million are already being put on-chain. NPEX comes with EU licenses and infrastructure such as an MTF broker and ECSP, effectively helping Dusk bypass the long administrative approval cycle. Together with the MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin EURQ issued by Quantoz, the entire financial infrastructure is taking shape.

That said, having more partners doesn’t necessarily mean the ecosystem will succeed. The real test is how much actual trading volume can be generated on-chain—whether institutions are truly using this technology, or just staying in the pilot stage. I will continue to track NPEX assets’ real on-chain progress and changes in on-chain trading volume. The direction being right doesn’t automatically mean it will work.
#dusk $DUSK

I tried Dusk’s developer tools a while back and found something that really surprised me: Dusk Connect.

When I was going through the Dusk documentation before, the biggest impression was that the tech stack is indeed impressive, but the frontend toolchain is nearly empty. Developers write the contracts, deploy them on-chain—then what? How users connect wallets and how transactions are signed are all things they have to build themselves from scratch.
Dusk Connect solves this problem with a lightweight SDK that allows dApps to automatically detect compatible wallets and request account signatures and transactions, following the EIP-6963 standard. On top of that, there’s also an official wallet with support across browser extensions, desktop, and mobile. The core workflow is now end-to-end: Forge writes the contracts, Dusk Connect connects the wallet, and users can interact directly.

But the whole setup—@Dusk —is still only at the developer preview stage for now. I’m not a developer, so I can’t judge engineering stability. However, logically speaking, this fills in the biggest missing piece in the Dusk ecosystem: application-layer infrastructure. Previously, if organizations wanted to build apps on this chain, they had to solve wallet compatibility problems from the ground up. Now at least there’s a standardized answer they can copy.

I also noticed that what Dusk has been saying all along—lowering the barrier for developers—has taken another step forward after DuskEVM became compatible with Solidity. Now the question is: with the toolchain in place, will developers come, and can the ecosystem actually take off? That’s the real test. I’ll keep watching and see once the OpenDusk community initiative officially kicks off. #dusk $DUSK

After more than a year of showing up to check in on-chain, the project is finally getting results! Some people say the coin value is over one yuan, others say it’s over a dime—but that’s not what I’m focused on. I just want to give and receive something in return. Don’t just let me get reverse-scammed (rekt)!

Mainly, TermMax’s recent hype has really been high. On August 25, TMX’s TGE, Binance’s Booster campaign directly gave 2 million TMX tokens as rewards. The data also looks great: TVL is over $90 million, registered wallets exceed 1.5 million, and daily active addresses at one point ranked second among DeFi lending protocols, only behind Aave. I also saw in the community that people interacted and operated over a thousand accounts—so if the team doesn’t keep doing things, they might end up reverse-scammer-ing the community!

I read through @TermMax of this information, and I still have a few questions I can’t quite figure out.

First is the TVL definition. DefiLlama shows over $34 million, the official says over $90 million, and there are also claims of over $100 million. Such a huge gap means the accounting methods are fundamentally different—are they only counting funds locked in fixed-rate markets, or are they also including the Aave/Morpho yield layers stacked inside the Vault? If it’s the latter, then there’s a risk of duplicate counting in that TVL.

Second is actual value capture for the token. The total TMX supply is 1 billion, mainly used for governance and staking rewards. But TermMax’s core business is fixed-rate lending, so how exactly are TMX and fee revenue connected? If TMX is only a governance token, what supports its value in the first place? Until this is figured out, I’m not confident about how the token will perform after the TGE.

Third is real adoption on the institutional side. TermMax has indeed launched an institutional version of TSI, and it also cooperates with professional market makers like Keyrock. But institutions want depth, liquidity, and compliance. Does TermMax’s current accumulation in these areas provide enough confidence for large funds to put their money in?

I’m not denying TermMax’s direction. Fixed-rate lending being a blank spot in DeFi is true, and the direction is right. But going from “the direction is correct” to “it can succeed” is separated by countless execution details. TMX’s performance after the TGE will be a major milestone. If it can hold the token price, then with the hype behind it, it can definitely gain a foothold in DeFi—so we can’t let today’s hype make us blindly follow and be overconfident. The key is to see the team’s mindset and strategy in the coming days! #termmax

The TGE on the 25th could make a whole bunch of people rich!
TermMax is also the on-chain project I’ve been involved with the longest. Every day I make sure to check in on time, and I’ve never missed any of the staking activities—hoping it all leads to a good result!

I’ve always remembered a detail that made me stop and think when I first read the whitepaper for @TermMax TermMax: it breaks a single loan into two tokens—FT and XT. FT is a zero-coupon bond-like fixed-rate token. Lenders buy it at a discount, redeem it for par at maturity, and the yield is locked in from the moment you enter. XT is the yield token. When the borrower receives the loan, they also receive XT, which they can immediately sell to get liquidity—the borrowing cost is fixed right at the entry point.

One FT plus one XT equals one debt token. This equation physically separates principal and interest. And even more worth attention is GT—the leveraged NFT. Traditional DeFi leverage requires repeatedly cycling collateral and multiple rounds of borrowing, with gas fees that can be downright scary. What I found interesting about TermMax is that it mints a GT once, encapsulating both the collateral and the debt information into a single NFT, so you can achieve the target leverage with one click. Gas costs are greatly reduced, and position management becomes more intuitive.

In fact, these three tokens each have their own job: FT handles fixed returns, XT handles interest monetization, and GT manages leveraged positions. I think the cleverest part of this design is that it doesn’t just try to simulate a fixed interest rate—it tokenizes the interest rate itself into a tradable asset.

But there’s one question I still haven’t figured out: will the arbitrage and pricing relationships among these three tokens introduce new complexity? In theory it looks beautiful, but between theory and engineering stability, is there still a gap? This is something I’m telling myself to think about.#termmax

In recent months, the heat around the RWA (real-world assets) sector has continued to rise. I reviewed projects across the industry and found that truly few of them can balance both compliance and privacy in both directions. Most projects on the market have clear shortcomings: either they have well-developed compliance frameworks but all on-chain data is completely public, offering no privacy at all; or they push privacy encryption to the limit but fail to meet regulatory requirements, making deployment extremely difficult.

@Dusk has carved out a differentiated middle-path approach, and that is its core competitive advantage. In January 2026, the mainnet will be officially launched. DuskEVM will be deployed and go live in parallel. At the same time, it has reached a deep partnership with the regulated Dutch exchange NPEX, with plans to drive the on-chain migration of tokenized securities totaling over €300 million. NPEX holds the full set of EU compliance licenses, covering the entire lifecycle—trading, brokerage, custody, and settlement. The end-to-end asset on-chain process follows the standard route of the traditional financial system, resulting in a very solid compliance foundation.

I also noticed that Dusk’s ecosystem partners are accelerating their aggregation recently, and the ecosystem layout is becoming increasingly complete. The project has reached a strategic cooperation with the well-known European distributed ledger trading platform 21X. Leveraging deep technical integration with DuskEVM, institutional users do not need to adapt to a completely new underlying logic; through familiar traditional trading interfaces, they can directly use Dusk’s privacy trading and compliant financial services. Meanwhile, the ecosystem also connects MiCA-compliant digital euro EURQ issued by Quantoz. Combined with Chainlink oracles to complete real-time off-chain data integration, an entire set of RWA ecosystem infrastructure is taking shape—from compliance-stablecoins at the data layer to licensed trading platforms.

That said, I have always held the view that no matter how many cooperation resources there are or how frequent the ecosystem announcements become, they cannot represent actual project execution. The biggest problem right now is still the real application scenarios. Going forward, the key will come down to two points: first, whether on-chain can consistently generate real and effective trading volume; second, whether traditional financial institutions can truly operationally use this technology—not merely keep it at the level of strategic partnerships.

From my personal perspective in observing the sector, Dusk’s compliance-plus-privacy RWA narrative looks very promising. The infrastructure and partnership resources have already been laid out. Next, I won’t blindly look at every cooperation-related positive headline; I will keep tracking the progress of real-world asset on-chain migration and the actual on-chain data. Only data that lands is the sole standard for validating a project’s value.
#dusk $DUSK

While reviewing Dusk’s architecture documentation, I noticed it recently upgraded to a three-layer modular design. Compared with the old “everything-in-one-pot” architecture, this setup is much clearer.

The bottom layer is called DuskDS. Think of it as the foundation: it handles the consensus mechanism, data storage, and asset settlement. There’s a particularly interesting design here—MIPS-powered pre-verifiers that check the transaction status before it’s even put on-chain. So there’s no 7-day failure window like Optimism, with both security and efficiency pushed to the limit. Also, DuskDS stores only succinct, effective proofs, so ordinary users don’t need high-end computers to run full nodes.

The middle layer is DuskEVM, scheduled to go live in January 2026. It fully complies with the Ethereum EVM standard. If you have a DApp on Ethereum that you want to migrate, developers don’t have to change code or learn a new language—just connect with MetaMask and it works. More importantly, it adds fully homomorphic encryption. After encrypting the transaction data, you can verify it without decrypting—protecting privacy while still not interfering with compliance audits.

The top layer is called DuskVM and is still being refined. Going forward, it will be a privacy-dedicated “private room,” specifically for fully anonymous enterprise payments and private fund transactions. The three layers are connected via native bridges. When DUSK tokens move between layers, you don’t need to wrap tokens, and you don’t have to rely on third-party custodians. The entire architecture is driven by DUSK. Staking, Gas, and governance are all tied together like one rope, locking the three layers firmly in place. @Dusk

The technical foundation really is solid. But no matter how beautiful the three-layer architecture looks, in the end it still depends on whether developers are willing to come and whether institutions dare to use it.

Personally, I think: Dusk’s new three-layer modular architecture addresses common pain points in public chains—bulky design, weak security, and the inability to balance privacy with compliance. The design is forward-looking with its step-by-step progression: security and efficiency at the base, easier migration in the middle, and tailored adaptation for high-end financial privacy scenarios at the top. Meanwhile, the mechanism enabled by native tokens across the full chain maximizes the token’s value-capture ability. A high-quality technical architecture is the core underpinning for a project’s long-term growth. The only shortcoming at this stage is that the ecosystem’s developer base isn’t large enough. As financial institutions roll out and DApps migrate one after another, this top-tier technical architecture will gradually unlock real commercial value. Its potential is definitely worth a long-term positive outlook. #dusk $DUSK

A couple of days ago, I opened the Dusk block explorer and saw that the latest block height had surpassed 4 million. The mainnet has been online for over half a year, and the chain has been running continuously without stopping. Then I checked the staking data; over 200 million Dusk coins are staked on the network, accounting for more than 36% of the circulating supply. This percentage isn't low, meaning a significant portion of holders have chosen to lock them up rather than actively trade them. I know a friend who runs nodes, and he said Dusk's penalty mechanism is quite substantial; if the online rate drops below 95%, 10% of the reward is deducted. This isn't just a scare tactic; it's a real deduction.

Recently, Dusk has undergone two protocol upgrades: Aegis in March and Boreas Rusk v1.7.0 in May. Aegis is officially called the most important update to date, and all nodes are required to upgrade. Boreas focuses on strengthening network resilience and compatibility with DuskEVM. This forced node upgrade approach may seem disruptive in the short term, but in the long term, it's pushing the network towards an institutional-grade architecture. However, I also noticed a problem with @Dusk : the data display on the block explorer isn't intuitive enough. Ordinary users have to scroll through several layers to find key indicators to check network health. This isn't very user-friendly for retail investors. But then again, Dusk isn't designed for retail short-term trading; it targets institutional investors.

I don't have any positions; I'm just observing. A chain that's been running for over half a year, experiencing two forced upgrades without major issues, is itself a positive sign. #dusk $DUSK

Let’s boldly guess the tonight’s airdrop score!
How many people are actively online right now?
With so many new coins coming in like this, September’s gold and October’s silver must be coming!
……
Since waiting for the airdrop is getting boring, let’s talk about a Dusk perspective that many people overlook but that I think is especially important: its consensus mechanism.
I went through its whitepaper and found that Dusk uses a consensus protocol called Succinct Attestation. In essence, it’s a committee-based PoS mechanism.
Most people in public chains talk about how high the TPS is, but in financial scenarios, the truly critical things are three other aspects: unclear finality, inconsistent state, and disputes during settlement/clearing.
I think slower speed is something we can still tolerate, but if the books can’t be settled properly—that’s a big problem.

The idea behind SA is very clear. It achieves fast confirmation through a committee-style PoS process, while keeping the whole procedure concise, verifiable, and auditable.
I understand it as dividing validator nodes into professional committees: some are responsible for producing blocks, and some for consensus verification.
Committee members are selected via cryptographic random draws in an anonymous way, which both prevents Sybil attacks and ensures decentralization.
Dusk also requires validators to complete KYC. Many people say this isn’t decentralized enough, but I think this is actually an honest response to the essence of finance.
Traditional finance works well because the chain of responsibility is clear—if something goes wrong, you know who to contact.

Let’s talk a bit more about the @Dusk performance side.
I noticed Dusk’s mainnet upgrade plan for the first quarter of 2026: block time will be cut from 15 seconds to 6 seconds, and throughput will directly triple.
This kind of improvement is quite aggressive for a privacy chain.
And the privacy engine, Hedger, also needs to strengthen its ability to adapt to high-load conditions—while ensuring that privacy protections based on zero-knowledge proofs don’t get compromised, it still has to handle massive traffic.

Personally, I think Dusk’s approach here is very pragmatic: it doesn’t chase trends, it focuses instead on solidifying the underlying consensus.
In the finance vertical track, what ultimately matters is this kind of reliability.
But right now, the price has fallen too much—if it could return to its peak period, that would be perfect.

More than 6,000 rewards in the Rewards Center of Dusk
Value of over 2,400… tokens!!
I’ve always remembered this—back then it was the creator center task in Dusk’s first season. You could also say it was the origin of “Ju Mao” (the early spirit), and it’s also the highest reward I’ve ever received since I started participating in the creator center!

After half a year, it’s back again, storming in to reappear on the creator task board. Although the rewards have shrunk a lot, I still have a vivid memory of its whitepaper. The one thing that moved me most is that it uses technology to solve two seemingly contradictory issues: privacy and compliance. It relies on PLONK zero-knowledge proofs—transaction verification doesn’t require publicly revealing balances or counterparty information. At the same time, built-in KYC/AML rules ensure regulators can access the data they’re supposed to.

And technically, @Dusk : with Dusk’s modular design, settlement and execution are separated. DuskDS handles settlement and data availability, DuskEVM is compatible with the Ethereum ecosystem, and developers can deploy privacy contracts using Solidity. There’s also DuskVM, based on WASM, which supports writing contracts in Rust.

The consensus mechanism is called Succinct Attestation—it’s a permissionless PoS focused on efficiency and finality.

Honestly, I think Dusk wants to build a compliant privacy infrastructure for tokenizing real-world assets (RWA). Putting traditional assets like stocks and bonds on-chain protects business secrets while also meeting regulatory requirements. I think this direction is really promising. I hope this time its price can also explode and reach the same peak level as the first-season task. #dusk $DUSK

The first Booster mission ST is also coming to an end!
The final episode’s mission rewards are now available to claim!
Now worth 1.3U…

This $ST —I was still constantly trying to buy the dip and lost a few hundred bucks. I feel like the issue is in its name. Who would name something ST?! If you know about trading, you get it, haha!
Now the Booster mission is completely empty—back then, there were rows and rows of them. I miss it!

So many people still don’t know how to improve their account weight and increase exposure?
As an “old-timer” who’s been participating in the Creator Center tasks for a year, let me share some practical experience! It’s also amazing that it’s already been more than a year since the Creator Center launched. I’m just as grateful that all my tasks made it onto the leaderboard—and the rewards ended up being more than $10,000.

Let me talk about the experience I summed up over one year:
Binance Square especially favors content of trading type and Alpha type—these two are also frequent top performers! If you’re a new account trying to get started, prioritize these two areas. The more times you post high-quality content, the higher your account weight naturally becomes!

As for its distribution mechanism, I think it’s pretty similar to all other platforms. After you post, it’s first pushed to a small group of people. The key is whether the metrics in the first 30 minutes—likes, comments, and completion/read-through rate—meet the requirements. If you pass, you’ll enter the recommendation pool. Then it’s about engagement rate and real trading data. Once you’re in the recommendation pool, you’ll basically be prioritized for users who previously liked and commented on you!
If your views are very low, send it to Brother Golden Mark for feedback—it can boost traffic a lot!

Most important of all: you still need great content! You can ride on the latest hot topics, but remember—don’t do clickbait title tactics. The content must include your own analysis and judgment. But the opening should be simple and clear, and something that hooks people—that part you probably already know. As for posting time, I think anytime from early 8 AM to 9 PM works; prioritize the morning, because that’s when Square has the most traffic. Our fellow Chinese are just getting up, and our foreign friends are also browsing on their phones while lying in bed.

A few details to keep in mind: Don’t treat every post as something you must modify. If you modify it, it basically triggers throttling. But if a post is throttled, deleting the violating parts can still allow it to run again. If you can publish manually, don’t schedule it. Don’t use AI to write content with overly perfect phrasing—if you can hand-write it, don’t rely on AI. If you’re unsure whether your text violates rules, copy and paste it to your Binance chat friend to check first. Exclamation marks are considered violations—find them and fix them!
Also, never blindly call trades in trading-type posts. You might have mined and made money, but once people follow your calls, you’ll be flooded with complaints—then you get stuck as the bag holder.
You need to analyze clearly your own logic—how you see things, how geopolitical news and the market narrative might affect it—then add your order-placing components and real trading flow. Your traffic will naturally improve.

If you want good traffic, you still have to be diligent—post more, watch more, and deliver information-gap hot topics to the Square as soon as they happen!
