Looking at Dusk's growth trajectory is quite interesting — it didn't follow the usual route of meme tokens or airdrop blitzes, but instead attracted attention through substantive community discussions. On Discord and X, debates often arise, such as whether the high costs of privacy computing will eat into validators' rewards, but holders generally believe this design can be sustainable, with institutional-grade applications continuously contributing stable fees.

After the 2025 DuskDS upgrade, network TPS and data availability significantly improved, directly boosting staking participation — currently, over 200 million DUSK are locked, accounting for 36% of the circulating supply. The numbers themselves tell the story.

What’s even more noteworthy is the ecological choice behind this: Dusk doesn't care about popularity rankings but instead aims to shape a precise circle — gathering developers who seriously build applications and institutions that value long-term gains. Regarding the Creator program, the focus is on supporting practical applications of FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption), including privacy governance and checkpoint schemes. These innovations can enable DAOs to truly achieve anonymous voting, not just hype.

If you want in-depth on-chain data analysis and firsthand project updates, this community is genuinely valuable — unlike some projects that are impatient, it’s the kind that becomes more worth paying attention to the more you understand.

Locking 36%, this number is indeed solid, unlike some projects that rely on hype to inflate their value. How long institutional fees can sustain is a question, but the discussions on Discord are indeed serious.

Locking 36% of the circulating supply, this data is really solid. But whether the privacy computing costs can be recouped truly depends on how quickly institutional applications are implemented. --- Dusk's approach of not chasing hype and focusing on doing the work is indeed more reliable in the long run than those airdrop bombardments. --- FHE applications seem to be progressing slowly, but at least the direction isn't off track. --- Locking 200 million tokens shows confidence, but it all depends on whether DuskDS can truly retain users after the upgrade. --- Avoiding hype and instead attracting serious developers—I'm on board with this logic. Much better than projects that rely solely on marketing. --- Anonymous voting sounds good, but DAO governance is inherently a big pitfall. Dusk needs to come up with practical and usable solutions to count. --- Community discussions are indeed more in-depth, especially in on-chain data analysis—there's real substance there. --- A 36% lock-up rate is quite aggressive; validator reward models must stand the test of time.

ngl, projects that don't follow the usual path are actually a bit exciting, it's rare to see ones truly focused on technology rather than just how to cut the leeks --- 200 million tokens locked? 36% circulation? These numbers do speak for themselves, at least indicating that holders are not paper hands --- I'm curious to see how anonymous voting will perform once truly launched; hopefully it won't turn into just another PPT feature --- The high cost of privacy computing has been known for a long time; the key is whether institutional fees can truly be sustained continuously. Don't be too optimistic if you haven't seen it --- Compared to those who flood the market with daily airdrops and marketing, this gradual ecosystem-building approach is indeed much more comfortable --- Applying FHE in practice is really difficult, but at least Dusk is seriously working on it, gotta give them that --- The community has substance, and the topics are quite hardcore; it's the kind of community where you need to do your homework once you're in, not just for fun --- A 36% staking rate—if it can truly maintain stable returns, that would be impressive

Another project that quietly focuses on technology... Compared to those coins that market themselves every day, Dusk's approach is indeed solid. The 36% of 200 million DUSK locked in is quite convincing. --- The issue of privacy computing costs eating into profits... To put it simply, it's a gamble whether institutional applications can keep up, but what if they can't? --- Will FHE applications truly be implemented, or is it just another high-sounding concept that ultimately becomes a gimmick? --- Alright, alright, finally seeing a project that doesn't rely on airdrops to deceive people. I think the community's serious discussion on this point is promising. --- Dusk's approach is basically abandoning retail investors and going all-in on institutions—if you bet right, it’s a dark horse; if you bet wrong... uh. --- The Creator plan to support FHE—this idea I have to admit is somewhat interesting, but execution is the key. --- What does a 36% lock-up rate indicate? Either people truly believe in this thing, or they’re trapped so tightly that it’s hilarious. --- Anonymous voting sounds good, but how many DAOs are actually using it? Don’t tell me those in the Dusk ecosystem.
