Understanding $DUSK K’s role in the broader blockchain landscape starts with its utility and ecosystem milestones. The Dusk network is built to facilitate regulated financial use cases with privacy protections by default. @@Dusk has positioned DUSK as a multi-purpose asset: it is used for staking to secure the network, paying transaction and gas fees, deploying decentralized applications, and incentivizing consensus participants. Mainnet upgrades and interoperability features like cross-chain bridges now allow native DUSK to move more easily between the Dusk layer and other ecosystems, increasing access and utility. Recent infrastructure developments, such as EVM compatibility and performance enhancements, bring further potential for scalable privacy-preserving applications and institutional adoption. For anyone interested in the convergence of DeFi, TradFi, and tokenized assets, $DUSK represents a unique, forward-looking project that blends innovation with compliance.#dusk
