I re-read the @Dusk mainnet migration guide and noticed an easy-to-overlook detail: tapping “Approve” in your wallet doesn’t mean that $DUSK has already been migrated to the Dusk mainnet. What actually triggers the migration is the following “Execute” transaction. If anything interrupts between the two steps, users may mistakenly think their assets are “stuck.”
The official process is to lock the ERC-20 token on Ethereum or the BEP-20 DUSK on BNB Chain into the migration contract, and then distribute the corresponding native coins to the specified Dusk mainnet account. Users need to prepare a self-custody EVM wallet, a Dusk account, and pay the source-chain fees in ETH or BNB. After the execution transaction is confirmed, there is typically still some processing time to wait for.
Exchange accounts generally can’t complete this whole workflow directly via WalletConnect—they first need to have a wallet that they control.
The mechanism itself isn’t complicated; the real traps are all in the operational boundaries. First, authorization only grants contract allowances and does not automatically transfer funds. Second, source-chain tokens use 18 decimal places, while mainnet DUSK uses 9 decimal places; the migrated amount is rounded down to the smallest unit (LUX). Any fractional remainder less than 1 LUX stays in the original wallet. Third, if you don’t see the balance arrive, you should verify whether the Execute transaction succeeded—don’t just submit another approval.
This one-way lock-and-distribute design is clearer than making users find cross-chain liquidity pools themselves. But it still squeezes two chains, two wallets, and two confirmations into a single flow. For experienced users it’s just another quick check, but for newcomers it can easily turn “approval successful” into “migration completed.” If the security mechanism can’t be clearly explained by the interface, it ultimately becomes human error.
So when I looked at the #dusk mainnet migration, I didn’t just check whether the contract is audited—I also looked to see whether the wallet simultaneously displays the current step, the source-chain hash, the expected processing status, and the receiving address. The official documentation clearly provides a verification path—that’s a plus. The next step should be to build these reminders into every key button, not wait until users fail and then send them to the help center.
When you migrate your assets, which step worries you most: authorization, choosing the wrong network, or an unclear到账 (arrival) status? Tell me about the operational pitfalls you’ve run into.
