Q: Jaka jest różnica? A: Audyty sprawdzają kod statycznie. Programy nagród za błędy zachęcają hakerów do znajdowania wad dynamicznie. Q: Kiedy używać audytów? A: Przed uruchomieniem. Niezbędne dla logiki podstawowej. Przykład: Audyt Uniswapu na $1M zapobiegł atakom reentrancy. Q: Kiedy używać nagród? A: Po uruchomieniu. Żywe, ewoluujące zagrożenia. Przykład: Nagroda MakerDAO wykryła krytyczny błąd w skarbcu w 2020 roku. Q: Najlepsza strategia? A: Użyj obu. Audyty dla podstawowego bezpieczeństwa, nagrody dla ciągłej odporności. Nie wybieraj - nakładaj je na siebie.

Multi-Source Public Evidence Approach
Purpose: Technical reading of observable risks and evidence gaps for due diligence (non-marketing).
Real Scope: Architecture (declared), public implementation (official repos), operation/perimeter (website scan), and external signals (Skynet + on-chain explorer + market metrics).
Out of Scope: Exploit write-ups, line-by-line code auditing, or claims without evidence.
🎭 Multicolor Analysis Map (7 Layers)
🔴 Red (Attack): Real surfaces that could be exploitable based on existing architecture.🔵 Blue (Defense): Currently observable signals and telemetry.🟣 Purple (Integration): Linkage between Attack ↔ Detection ↔ Preservable Evidence.⚪ White (Supervision): Institutional controls, traceability, and formal audit gaps.🟡 Yellow (Structure): Facts vs. Gaps; repeatable checklist.🟠 Orange (Lab): Elements for empirical validation with minimal infrastructure.🟢 Green (Forensic): Capturable evidence for timeline and correlation.
0) Evidence Pack v0.2 (Sources Used)
Primary (Project/On-chain): Official Documentation, Whitepaper v3.0.0, Official GitHub (org), "Rusk" node (Rust), Official Node Installer, "dusk-protocol" repo (WIP), and Etherscan (ERC-20 DUSK).External Signals: CertiK Skynet Project Insight (useful for signals, not formal proof), CoinMarketCap (market data/consistency checks).
1) 🟡 Minimum Technical Identity
Verified Fact (Docs/Whitepaper): Dusk presents as a "privacy" blockchain for regulated finance with privacy and compliance primitives.Verified Fact (Public Implementation): An operational stack and node in Rust (Rusk) exist with associated tooling.Verified Fact (Observed Asset): Skynet/Etherscan point to the ERC-20 token on Ethereum: 0x940a2db1b7008b6c776d4faaca729d6d4a4aa551.GAP (Not Verifiable): Full formal protocol guarantees, updated quantitative invariants, and a final published official threat model (ref: "dusk-protocol WIP").
2) 🟡 Declared Architecture vs. Public Implementation
2.1 Design (Claims): Whitepaper v3.0.0 describes a ledger with Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus. Official docs describe privacy + regulatory requirements.2.2 Real Implementation (Auditable):Rusk: Node client and smart contract platform (supports local execution/builds).Node-Installer: Official tool for Mainnet/Testnet/Devnet deployment.dusk-blockchain (Go): Legacy/Deprecated; replaced by the Rust implementation.dusk-protocol: Formal documentation still marked as "WIP" (explicit evidence of incompleteness).
3) ⚪ Assurance Signals (Audit, KYC, Bounty)
3.1 Audits: Skynet indicates "Not Audited by CertiK / 3rd Party Audit: No."Audit-Ready Gap: Without a traceable public report (Findings → Fixes → Commits), code assurance remains weak based on public evidence.3.2 KYC / Team Verification: Skynet indicates "Not Verified." This represents a verification vacuum in available telemetry.3.3 Bug Bounty: No formal bounty recorded. No public signal of an incentivized disclosure channel.
4) 🟢 Observable Surface (Web Perimeter + Public Telemetry)
4.1 Web Perimeter (Website Scan): Missing hardening headers (X-Frame-Options, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, CSP).Limit: This affects the web interface; it does not prove vulnerability in the core protocol.4.2 On-chain Evidence (Etherscan):Data Quality Check: Etherscan shows Max Total Supply = 500,000,000 DUSK, while CoinMarketCap lists 1,000,000,000.Audit-Ready Implication: Supply inconsistency between on-chain sources and aggregators. In technical diligence, the on-chain explorer is prioritized.
5) 🔴 Attack Surface (Evidence-Based)
A) Node/Chain: Local compilation/execution (Rusk) → P2P/RPC vectors, state management, and input validation.B) Deployment: Node-installer → Operational/human surface (misconfigurations, versioning).C) Crypto Primitives: Multiple ZK repos (e.g., PLONK, curves) → Critical internal supply chain; changes in these libraries are high-impact.D) ERC-20 Token: Supply/Holder concentration can amplify custodial and liquidity events (operational-market risk).
6) 🔵 Available Defensive Signals
Direct Observables: Repository status (activity, deprecations), official documentation scope, and web posture signals from scanners.On-chain Metrics: Token supply, holders, and transfers via explorers.GAP: No publicly observable production telemetry (SLOs/SLAs), complete runbooks, or formal end-to-end Incident Response.
7) ⚪ Critical GAPS for Formal Auditing
Incomplete Formal Specification: Repo "dusk-protocol" is still WIP. Quantitative invariants are not 100% verifiable.Lack of Traceable Assurance: No public audit reports with findings/remediation history.Missing Operational Runbooks: Secure operation depends on the operator without a public operational contract/manual.
8) 🟠 Laboratory Validation (Empirical)
Local Node (Rusk): Build/test, basic stability, version drift, and induced process/network failures (requires local environment).Reproducible Installation: Clean install, rollback, and environment consistency (Mainnet/Test/Dev).Dependency Chain: Monitoring changes in the organization's ZK/Crypto libraries.
9) 🟢 Minimum Forensic Evidence (Reproducible)
Snapshots of Docs/Whitepaper (SHA256 hash of PDF).Snapshots of Repos (Tags/Commits).Snapshot of Etherscan token overview (Supply/Holders).Snapshot of Skynet Website Scan findings.
Operational Conclusion
Through multiple public sources, Dusk shows real evidence of implementation (Rust node + tooling) and a solid academic base. However, significant institutional audit gaps remain: formal documentation is "WIP," there is an absence of traceable public assurance, and supply data contradictions exist between aggregators and on-chain explorers.
