Dusk's token design logic is quite interesting. The 500 million $DUSK tokens were fully unlocked as early as April 2022, and currently, 487 million are in circulation, accounting for 48.7% of the total supply. The remaining 500 million tokens are allocated for 36 years of staking rewards, using a four-year halving schedule. The benefit of this design is that inflationary pressure will decrease year by year, and the incentive mechanism for network security will be more sustainable.

From a functional perspective, $DUSK can serve both as a staking asset to protect the network and as a means to pay transaction fees (priced in LUX, with 1 LUX = 10 DUSK). The advantage in transaction costs is quite evident.

The current price is only $0.0532, with a FDV of just $53.19 million. Compared to similar privacy coins like Zcash and Monero, it is indeed significantly undervalued. When institutional-grade applications truly take off, this undervaluation combined with moderate inflation could become a trigger for re-pricing.
