Let's be honest. From the purely "easy to pump" perspective, DUSK really has no competitive edge. It's not fast, the market isn't explosive, and it's hard to tell the story clearly in just one or two sentences. It's difficult to package it as an asset that can quickly ignite emotions, let alone make the market passionate with just a few charts. Honestly, I was a bit unaccustomed to this pace at first.

After spending a long time in the crypto space, everyone has been conditioned reflexively: speed must be fast, narratives must be bold, and fundraising often starts to hype the ecosystem's explosion halfway through. But when applying this to DUSK, it just doesn't fit. Its way of doing things doesn't seem like participating in a attention race; it feels more like handling a task that can't afford to go wrong.

Later, I realized that this "not easy to pump" might not even be a flaw. On the contrary, DUSK's clients are not emotion-driven funds. Compliant finance, real assets, institutional-grade applications—these players share a common trait: slow. They fear mistakes and have a much stronger need for stability and predictability than for storytelling speed.

Looking at DUSK from a different angle makes it clear. It’s not rushing to build an ecosystem, chasing hot trends, or catering to market tastes. It prefers to lay a solid foundation for what it needs to communicate, rather than oversimplify to please the market. This approach may be at a disadvantage in a bull market, but from a long-term perspective, it appears very solid. This is the attitude a project should have.
