$DUSK doesn’t feel like a meme coin to me; it feels like the fuel of a purpose built financial network. At its core, Dusk Network uses DUSK for very clear things: paying gas, staking to secure the chain, and participating in governance that shapes how the protocol evolves. Validators and stakers earn rewards in DUSK, while a portion of gas fees is burned, helping balance inflation over time.
What makes this more interesting is where the demand could come from. Dusk is targeting regulated DeFi and tokenized real world assets, so every confidential trade, security issuance, or settlement ultimately touches DUSK at the base layer. If that vision plays out, the token becomes real financial infrastructure, not just speculation.
