Dusk’s peer-to-peer layer, Kadcast, plays a key role in making the Dusk Network secure, fast, and truly decentralized. Kadcast is a gossip-based P2P communication protocol that allows nodes to share data directly with each other in a privacy-preserving way. Instead of broadcasting information to the entire network, Kadcast intelligently routes messages only to relevant peers, reducing bandwidth usage and improving efficiency.
For the Dusk token ecosystem, this means transactions, blocks, and consensus messages move securely and quickly between nodes without exposing unnecessary metadata. Kadcast also strengthens censorship resistance and network resilience by removing central points of failure. In short, Kadcast helps Dusk deliver scalable, confidential, and reliable blockchain communication at the protocol level.
