What advantages does building infrastructure during a bear market bring to Dusk
Dusk Network was founded in 2018 as an infrastructure blockchain focused on privacy and compliant financial applications, choosing a difficult path from the very early days of the market. In the current context, where most projects prioritize fast growth narratives, Dusk’s decision to continue building infrastructure during a bear market reflects a fundamentally different approach.
From my personal perspective, this direction makes sense when viewed against the broader market landscape. A bear market is always a phase defined by impatience, shrinking capital, and fading attention. Precisely because of that, it becomes the right moment to focus on what most people tend to ignore, such as system architecture, security, and long term operational resilience. Instead of reacting to short term demand, Dusk Network spends this period refining the foundation required for real financial use cases, where even small flaws can undermine trust.
A lot of people miss this, but you can't really build infrastructure well when everyone's breathing down your neck.Security and decentralization aren't just catchphrases; they're things you get from really working at it, day in and day out.This time around, Dusk's decision to take things slower, but with a clear purpose, means the network will be way more ready when the market finally remembers what truly matters.
