Dusk Network has recently attracted attention mainly because its mainnet has been running stably for a full year. From a technical perspective, they use the Succinct Attestation consensus mechanism, which achieves sub-second finality, a relatively rare feature among public blockchains. Transaction costs are not a big issue — gas fees have remained at just a few cents, making it very friendly for ordinary users.

What’s even more interesting is their XSC contract standard design. This is specifically built for security tokens, supporting encrypted shareholder information storage and selective disclosure mechanisms. Why do they do this? Because the EU’s MiCA regulations are increasingly strict on digital asset compliance, and Dusk’s solution can perfectly align with these regulatory frameworks. In simple terms, it finds a balance between protecting privacy and meeting regulatory requirements.

From a market perspective, DUSK is currently priced around $0.055, with a total market cap of approximately $28 million, and over 95% of the tokens are in circulation. This indicates that the token distribution is already quite sufficient. For investors optimistic about the EU market and compliance tracks, this long-term holding logic still has some appeal.
