The DUSK with financing of $8 million in 2018 and a unit price of 0.0404 took a full six years to get the mainnet running on January 7, 2025. Back when I was earlier, such a project would have been blacklisted—"If it hasn’t taken off in 6 years, it definitely won’t." Only after I mapped out its timeline did I realize that "slow" itself is a filter.
So what did it do in those six years? It took a 10% equity stake in the Dutch exchange NPEX in 2020; released an economic model audit report in 2024; launched its first irreversible block on the mainnet in January 2025; upgraded DuskDS in December; and officially activated the mainnet in January 2026, with DuskEVM going live, Hedger private transactions becoming available, and NPEX’s €300M+ securities tokens poised to be issued.
Compared with those “projects” that “go live” in just three months, a project that takes six years to turn in its assignment has, at minimum, eliminated 90% of the rug-pull risk—because scams can’t afford to last six years.
Of course, being slow also means patience is the threshold: at the current price of $0.06, the 422% frenzy spike in January has already passed, but the 94% drawdown still lies ahead. My approach: treat DUSK as an “annual observation position”—don’t watch the daily chart, just check whether quarterly milestones are being兑现.
