Don’t treat the August 2026 governance forum held by OpenDusk like a joke. The agenda is to allocate a portion of what was originally described as the “burned block rewards” into the community treasury, and to decide the direction of the Grant via staker voting. This means DUSK is shifting from a “foundation-driven” model to a “token-holder treasury-driven” one—weight is based on staking, and delegates can vote as well. Don’t compare it to some “performance-style” governance—DUSK’s block reward allocation, the proportion going to the development fund, and even future halving parameter adjustments could all become proposals. Institutions love this kind of thing: the rules are hard-coded in the contracts, not dependent on founders tweeting. In the long run, when the treasury has money → Grants incubate dApps in the ecosystem → settlement volumes for DuskTrade rise → DUSK consumption rises—this positive feedback loop’s starting point is that vote in summer 2026. So for those now complaining about “team centralization,” just wait until the treasury’s first Grant goes out and they’ll shut up.
On August 10, 2026, the DuskEVM testnet will be activated, with the mainnet expected by the end of the year—this has been seriously underestimated. In the past, institutions wanted to use privacy chains to rewrite Rust + DuskVM, and the development cost alone would have deterred you immediately. Now with OP Stack compatibility + EVM Equivalent, Solidity can be deployed as-is. You only need to tune the Hedger interface when privacy is required; amounts are automatically encrypted, and finality is anchored to DuskDS. This means Uniswap-style AMMs, Aave-style lending—just wrap them in a confidential layer and you get an “institutional version.” Zero migration cost for developers—this is a dimensionality-reduction strike. DUSK as gas will slowly drain liquidity from the circulation pool through these real contracts. Right now, TVL is under $1 million because the DuskTrade dApp hasn’t fully run at mainnet-grade yet—not because demand isn’t real. Once the DuskEVM mainnet stabilizes in the second half of 2026, teams building RWA, regulated euro stablecoins, and tokenized private placement shares will be the first to think of it—Ethereum is too exposed, Solana is too wild, and DUSK is exactly that middle, compliant privacy cushion. A few-cent EVM chain, with its own licensed exchange routing—this kind of pricing mismatch won’t survive the next round of institutional bull markets. #dusk $DUSK @Dusk
On August 10, 2026, the DuskEVM testnet is activated, with expectations for a mainnet launch by year-end—this has been seriously underestimated. Previously, institutions wanted to rewrite Rust + DuskVM using privacy chains; the development cost was enough to deter people. Now, with OP Stack compatibility + an EVM Equivalent, Solidity can be deployed as-is. You only need to adjust the Hedger interface when privacy is required—amounts are automatically encrypted, and finality is anchored to DuskDS. This means Uniswap-style AMMs and Aave-style lending can be turned into “institutional versions” by wrapping them in a confidentiality layer. Zero migration cost for developers—this is a dimensionality reduction strike. DUSK, as gas, will be drained gradually from the circulating supply by these real contracts. Now TVL is under $1 million because the DuskTrade dApp hasn’t yet run end-to-end at mainnet scale—not because the demand isn’t real. Once the DuskEVM mainnet stabilizes in the second half of 2026, teams building RWA, compliant euro stablecoins, and tokenization of private placement shares will be the first to think of it—Ethereum is too bare, Solana is too wild, and DUSK is just the compliant privacy layer in between. A few-cent EVM chain with an integrated, licensed exchange to drive traffic—this kind of mispriced setup won’t survive the next institutional bull cycle.
At the moment DuskEVM went live, a script of “collective defection” by Ethereum developers began
In January 2026, when DuskEVM was activated, many people didn’t realize what that means. Previously, if institutions wanted to use a privacy chain, they had to rewrite Rust contracts, learn DuskVM, give up the entire Solidity toolchain—making development costs a strong deterrent. Now, what’s the situation? Hardhat, Foundry, and Remix connect right away. Solidity contracts can be deployed as-is; only in places where privacy is needed do you hook up the Hedger interface, and the amounts and positions are automatically encrypted. With OP Stack compatibility plus DuskDS settlement returning to the anchor, it’s like opening a “compliance side door” for the Ethereum ecosystem.
Consider this picture: the same Uniswap-style AMM, the same lending market—but beneath the surface lies DUSK’s deterministic finality and auditable privacy. Institutions dare to touch it, regulators don’t block it, and developers face zero migration cost. This kind of dimension-strike is slow to heat up, but deadly. Even in August 2026, the DuskEVM testnet is still refining the bridging UX. Full mainnet-level EVM compatibility is expected to be stable by the end of the year. Once it matures, teams building RWA, compliant stablecoins, or tokenized private placement shares will be the first to think of it. DUSK, as gas and a staking asset, will slowly get siphoned from the circulating float as these real contracts call it.
Don’t be fooled by the current TVL of under $1 million—it’s a window of time before contracts are fully signed, not the final outcome.

TermMax vs Pendle: Why TMX may achieve an independent valuation
Pendle splits yield from YT/PT, while TermMax splits interest rate + tenor + collateral from FT/GT/XT—more like an “on-chain Treasury market maker.”
Key differences: ① Range Order order book, not a pure AMM, so rate discovery is more accurate; ② Borrowers use GT-wrapped flash-loan loops, with no forced liquidation anxiety; ③ RWA collateral (Ondo stock, RLUSD) has already been proven in production, while Pendle is more focused on crypto yield; ④ Deployments across 10 chains plus Vault idle asset earning, with higher capital efficiency.
If TMX captures half of Pendle’s valuation, there’s still multi-fold upside; if the RWA cycle takes off, it could be even stronger. Airdrops are just the ticket, not everything. #termmax @TermMax
Late-night thunder! DUSK is quietly eating up Wall Street’s “dark pool” business
You think dark pool trading is exclusive to Wall Street? Think again! DUSK’s “confidential trading” mechanism is, in essence, the ultimate form of on-chain dark pools. Institutions can quietly rebalance their positions while counterparties can’t see your orders or size—details that even the exchange backend can’t uncover. This isn’t just a coin; it’s like taking Goldman Sachs’ money-printing machine and moving it onto the blockchain! Once traditional funds realize this thing is ten times cheaper than OTC trading and ten times faster to settle, DUSK’s breakout will be nuclear-bomb level. It’s still crouched at the bottom right now—basically free money! Remember: when institutions start quietly building positions, what are you waiting for? Don’t wait until it rockets and you’re left slapping your own leg! #dusk $DUSK @Dusk
《The Tokenomics of DUSK: A 36-Year-Long “Ponzi Scheme”? No—this is a gamble against time!》
If you only look at the total supply of 1 billion, you’re being naive. DUSK’s token model is the most extreme, most anti-human design I’ve ever seen. It hides 500 million tokens inside a release curve that spans 36 years. Thirty-six years! That’s longer than the debt cycles of many countries.
Even crazier is its four-year halving mechanism. When the mainnet goes live in 2025, the reward per block is about 19.85 DUSK; by 2029, it’s directly cut in half to 9.92. It’s like a slow-motion hourglass—the sand leaks drop by drop, but the pace is so slow it drives you insane.
I did some calculations: the current circulating supply is close to 500 million, with an annual inflation rate above 10%. That means if you just hold the coins and do nothing, you’re diluted every year. But the strange part is that its staking APY is as high as 12%-18%. It’s like a financial perpetual-motion machine—inflation is drawing blood, while staking is replenishing it. If you don’t move fast enough (your node goes offline), you’ll be softly penalized (Soft Slashing) and thrown out of the game. This isn’t an investment; it’s a survival game where you race against time.#dusk $DUSK @Dusk
《Pituitary: DUSK’s team shoved an “spec drift detector” into the AI wave—both solid and smart》
2026-03-26, the official blog posted an article titled “Pituitary: AI Spec Drift Detection.” The title looks like it’s riding the heat of AI projects, but when you open it, you find it’s a tool meant for developers: it uses an LLM to compare “the contract intent you wrote” with the “actual constraints of the ZK circuit,” and raises an alert when drift occurs.
Why is DUSK doing this? Because its developer journey is split. On DuskVM, writing Rust/WASM contracts requires manually crafting ZK constraints; migrating to Solidity via DuskEVM uses Hedger to automatically wrap an extra layer. The easiest pitfall in between is “I thought I hid the amount, but actually I didn’t.” Pituitary takes natural-language specs (e.g., “the balance must be invisible to the public, but verifiable by auditors”) and turns them into formal assertions, then diffs them against the compilation outputs.
I checked their GitHub: the core is a Python service plus a locally optional Ollama setup. It doesn’t force you to run things in the cloud, which fits Europe’s data-sovereignty preferences. In the chat group, people who’ve tried ZK lending said, “Too many false positives, but few false negatives—good enough for CI gatekeeping.”
The DUSK of 2018 was like a bunch of cryptography paranoiacs. By 2026, DUSK is starting to ask, “How do we make sure ordinary Solidity devs don’t accidentally leak privacy?” RWA isn’t deployed because of cryptography papers—it’s deployed by making mid-level programmers make fewer stupid mistakes. Pituitary isn’t flashy, but it’s the scaffolding before the ecosystem really starts rolling. #dusk $DUSK @Dusk
《How much can you earn by staking DUSK for one year? I’ll show you my node bills》
Official rules: the validator’s minimum stake is 1000 DUSK. Block producers receive 70% of the block reward, with an additional maximum of 10% (depending on the credits in the certificate—any unused credits are burned). The development fund gets 10%, the validating committee gets 5%, and the approving committee gets 5%. Block rewards come from an additional 500 million released linearly over 36 years beyond the initial 500 million. Rewards halve every 4 years—so in the first period it’s about 19.85 DUSK per block, dropping to 9.92 by 2029.
My friend ran a node in Amsterdam. He entered in March 2025 at a cost of about 0.12, staking 5000 DUSK (his own plus delegated). Here are the bills he showed me: an average of 40–60 blocks produced per month, with gross monthly rewards of 900–1300 DUSK. At the then price of 0.06, that’s roughly 54–78 dollars. The official explorer’s nominal APY shows a range of 12%–18%, but in reality what you receive after deducting server costs (about €30/month) and address-dispersion losses nets out to 9%–11% annualized.
The key point isn’t the yield—it’s in the unlock and penalties. Soft penalties convert part of the active stake into a locked stake (no coins returned, but block production is paused). Hard penalties (double-signing/invalid votes) burn the coins. He once lost power and got disconnected for 20 minutes. When it came back, he found he’d been soft-penalized and hadn’t produced blocks for three days.
Conclusion: DUSK staking is suited for people who “plan to hold long-term anyway + have the capability to operate/maintain” nodes. If you have 1000 bucks of idle money and want to squeeze out a 20% annualized return without managing a node, simply buying the coins is more comfortable. Currently circulation is 598 million, with staking accounting for more than a third. This portion of liquidity is effectively locked—both an implicit support for the secondary market and an implicit sell pressure (rewards sold continuously). #dusk $DUSK @Dusk
#dusk $DUSK Watch DUSK’s release curve. In the past few years, inflation was manageable, but the further you go, the more once early investors’ and the team’s lockups expire, the sell pressure is no joke. With prices low right now, everyone can still pretend. One day when the price pumps, you think it’s about to take off—then the unlocked supply hits all at once and smashes downward. This kind of drama happens in the crypto space all the time. If you hold coins, you’ve got to treat the unlock schedule like a calendar—don’t just stare at the K-line. This coin isn’t “not buyable,” but you need to figure out when the counterparty supply is going to come out. @Dusk
#dusk $DUSK MiCA deployment: after going live, European crypto projects either comply or get out. DUSK was designed with compliance in mind from the start—KYC/AML is written into the protocol layer, not patched on later. This “regulator-friendly” approach is often mocked in the crypto world as “not decentralized enough,” but consider it another way: if you want to do institutional business, you have to follow their rules. Dusk Network obtains a Netherlands license and participates in the EU sandbox—every step is building compliance credibility. In the short term, it may not be as exciting as the wild DeFi route, but in the long run, it’s the ticket to survival. @Dusk
#dusk $DUSK Many people classify DUSK as a privacy coin. In fact, it’s not the same as Monero or Zcash. Monero basically wants everyone to go invisible—regulators can’t stand it; DUSK uses PLONK and stealth addresses for “selective disclosure”: it stays hidden most of the time, and regulators can verify compliance using the view key. In plain terms, it doesn’t oppose regulation—it embeds KYC/AML into the protocol layer. That’s also why it can list on NPEX and participate in the EU DLT Pilot. DUSK’s privacy is designed for financial institutions, not for the dark web.@Dusk

👀Are you hungry? Binance's late-night canteen is quietly opening again!
Today's food theme: Essential seasonings for grilled fish, commonly used trading currencies on Binance!
Three people please comment below for late-night snacks⬇️
Recently saw an article that reaffirmed something for me: in the crypto space, execution is productivity.
The friend in the picture originally only had some student resources, but in May, he made $60,000 in one month through #binance Alpha, with costs under $10,000. He also organized 200 college students to participate, firmly tying the profits to himself.
Many people overlook a fact: Alpha is truly where ordinary users can make money. From point airdrops to high-quality projects taking off, this is the platform with the most concentrated opportunities to earn money. As I've always said, when CZ and the top influencers provide the best benefits, users will elevate them.
Now Alpha is becoming increasingly competitive, and the official review mechanism has tightened, prohibiting multiple accounts. Some are unhappy about this, claiming it's intentional account banning, but everyone I know who was mistakenly banned with one account was able to resolve it with customer service. Those who didn't get unbanned likely did violate the rules.
And those who spread scripts for unbanning, scripts for grabbing accounts, and studios with hundreds of accounts—don't get misled. If there were truly such efficient studios, wouldn't they sell to you during the profit period instead of keeping it all for themselves?
The Alpha airdrop is almost at its 100th edition. When the market is good, just a little effort can yield thousands of dollars in airdrop income in a month, and this is genuinely issued by Binance. In the past, if you wanted to chase airdrops, you had to search for dozens of projects, face checks and audits, or even find that airdrops couldn’t be issued; now Binance Alpha organizes the opportunities for you and delivers them directly to you.
Data also proves: the level of exposure for Alpha is very high, with a large number of users from outside the circle coming in. This means Binance is not just providing benefits for old players but is also bringing in new blood for the entire industry.
In my view, this is the greatest significance of Binance Alpha: maximizing benefits, bringing in newcomers, and making earning money simpler.
