One thing that surprised me after reading the @Dusk docs that you only need 1,000 $DUSK to run a provisioner and participate in consensus. No massive capital gate. Your stake activates at the epoch boundary, roughly 6 to 12 hours, and then you're in the sortition pool.The consensus itself works differently than I assumed. Instead of every validator voting on every block, provisioners get selected through stake-weighted deterministic sortition into small committees per block.
Fewer signatures, faster finality, lower hardware burden. Right now the network runs on roughly 30 provisioners. That's the part I keep going back and forth on.
Thirty independent operators can be meaningfully decentralized if they're genuinely independent but it's not Ethereum-scale, and pretending otherwise would be unfair.
Low entry is great for participation, but it doesn't fix distribution if a handful of large stakers dominate committee selection anyway.
Governance angle with sortition being stake-weighted, big $DUSK holders get picked more often. Does that count as fair representation or soft capture?
What's your take is 30 provisioners enough for regulated finance? #dusk
