Dusk NetworkThe @Dusk_Foundation network makes use of a decentralized and privacy-oriented digital currency that evolves the CryptoNote protocol through the groundbreaking discoveries in the field of Byzantine consensus and pseudo-random functions of world renown cryptographers such as Silvio Micali, Michael Rabin, Alexander Yampolskiy and Evgeniy Dodis. Dusk radically departs from any other blockchain by employing an adaptive consensus mechanism, called Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA), which does not require the computational intensity of proof-of-work and is a fairer alternative to proof-of-stake. Built on such consensus algorithm, Dusk is poised to be the first to simultaneously achieve previously conflicting goals of guaranteeing transaction untraceability and unlinkability, safeguarding user privacy, reaching transactional finality after a bound number of rounds within a single block election and achieving virtually unbounded user scalability without any significant performance degradation. The #Dusk network requires a heightened security setup designed specifically to: (1) Obfuscate IP addresses of the communicating peers (2) Prevent linkability and traceability of accounts (3) Guarantee network performance (4) Implement efficient payment mechanism for high QoS applications such as secure and anonymous voice calls. An important difference with CryptoNote, is that Dusk doesnot make use of proof-of-work mining and therefore drops completely CryptoNight and deviates substantially from the hashing algorithms therein adopted.

The Three Pillars of DuskBy now you’ve probably noticed that @Dusk_Foundation has rebranded! They're thrilled to have a new look that is sleeker, simpler, and more direct than before. The rebranding process is very detailed and in-depth, and throughout the process and subsequent rewriting of copy, three phrases are constantly present: Real-World Assets (RWAs), Compliance, and Privacy. In many ways, these three sum up Dusk. They want to bring RWAs on-chain and to do that they must be compliant and private. Dusk is often called a privacy coin or at least put into the ZK rollup category. While dusk do care about privacy and do use zero-knowledge proof cryptography (they're not a rollup or Layer 2 though), it isn’t our end goal, and instead, they do this so that they can bring RWAs on-chain. So, today let’s have a look at these three pillars, and how they benefit both businesses and users. 1) Compliance: Compliance is hugely important for us and guides our decisions and infrastructure, as in order to interact with regulated assets we must meet their regulatory requirements. Financial institutions have to follow a huge amount of rules and regulations, and how they do this has thus far been built around centralized systems. This has led to us developing tools like Citadel, a decentralized licensing protocol that can be used for everything from KYC/AML procedures to subscription plans. The twist is that it’s private, and operates using ZKPs, meaning users do not have to give away their personal data, while still being able to prove what is necessary to comply with the rules. #Dusk has also make it easy for institutions and businesses to program and automate their compliance and follow policy. While this is a requirement for institutional adoption, it also is a strong business case in and of itself and can save companies huge amounts of money by automating and streamlining their processes. While Dusk is business-friendly, their approach also benefits average users by returning custody, of their assets, data, and identity, to them while allowing them to engage with both classical assets and new ones. Without compliance, we can have all the technology in the world but will never be able to use it in a meaningful way. A lot of blockchains are not capable of complying with GDPR, for example, and this will hinder business adoption. Their founders were thinking about regulation and compliance long before it was cool, seeing that business adoption would require blockchain technology that’s capable of being compliant and legislation that is reasonable and allows blockchain to grow. At least in the EU, they have that. 2) Privacy: Privacy is what they're best known for. Dusk use zero-knowledge proof cryptography, specifically PLONK, to ensure that transactions are verifiable and correct while being private. Privacy is another necessity, both in general for all people and to facilitate mass adoption. Institutions will never tokenize their assets if every move they make is public, and regular people would also be hesitant to use blockchain in a meaningful way if it meant every transaction they’ve ever made was public. This is what they're best known for, and while we care deeply about privacy as a right, we also recognize that it’s a necessity for blockchain to be used at scale and for things that matter. Their approach ensures privacy while providing the auditability that institutions require, and in many cases provides higher standards of privacy than institutions and users are used to (by removing the need for third parties we provide higher levels of privacy). Their novel approach to privacy and focus on the real world means that users are not constantly leaking data and can practice selective disclosure. Their goal with privacy is to match and then improve upon what is currently available. 3) Real-world assets: These two points bring dusk to real-world assets. The ultimate goal of Dusk is to bring institutional-level assets to anyone’s wallet. This means users can move seamlessly between crypto and traditional assets and engage with traditional assets in the same way as they interact with crypto; trustlessless, permissionless, and with self-custody. Bringing RWAs on-chain is good for businesses too, giving them faster settlement times, access to consolidated liquidity, and allowing them to use smart contracts for a lot of time (and money!) consuming processes. Their goal is to deliver financial freedom and inclusion to all by improving the current systems and eliminating the inefficiencies they're all used to. These three pillars make the digital world secure. $DUSK {spot}(DUSKUSDT)

Walrus Overview@WalrusProtocol is a decentralized storage protocol based on erasure-coding. Anyone can interact with Walrus to store arbitrary data and prove that the data is stored. Like IPFS, Walrus itself is not a blockchain. However, Walrus leverages the Sui network for help with storage node lifecycle management, blob lifecycle management, and the introduction of incentive systems. Sui has achieved exceptionally high scalability compared to other blockchains with its own consensus and smart contracts. However, if Sui were to handle blobs in addition to transaction data, it would be inefficient as all nodes would replicate large volumes of blobs, greatly increasing the replication factor. Therefore, Walrus uses erasure-coding to divide blobs into smaller units called slivers and allocate them to nodes, allowing large volumes of data to be stored in a decentralized protocol with a replication factor of just 4-5. In particular, unlike existing decentralized storage protocols, #Walrus has the advantage of significantly reducing data recovery costs by using an encoding method called Red Stuff. So, what is Red Stuff 1) Encoding: Red Stuff encodes the blob in two dimensions. This is for efficient sliver recovery. In the primary dimension, encoding is similar to RS-encoding, dividing B into f+1 primary slivers. Red Stuff goes a step further, dividing each of the f+1 primary slivers into 2f+1 secondary slivers in the secondary dimension. As a result, B becomes a matrix of (f+1) * (2f+1). Note that the example in the above figure assumes f=1. Based on this two-dimensional matrix, additional repair symbols are generated for both dimensions. Note that a symbol is a smaller unit of data than a sliver. First, the symbols of 2f+1 columns are expanded from f+1 to 3f+1, and then the symbols of f+1 rows are expanded from 2f+1 to 3f+1. The commitment to B can be easily calculated. W calculates commitments for each rows and columns including the additional repair symbols, then combines all these sliver commitments to create the blob commitment. 2) Write: The process of storing data in the Walrus protocol is similar to protocols using existing RS encoding. W encodes the original data with Red Stuff to generate sliver pairs to send to each node. A sliver pair here refers to a pair of primary and secondary slivers, with a total of 3f+1 sliver pairs generated. W then propagates 3f+1 sliver pairs and sliver commitments to 3f+1 nodes each. Upon receiving these, nodes verify the slivers through the commitments and send signatures back to W. When W receives 2f+1 signatures, it generates an availability certificate and publishes it on-chain (Sui network). This is because even if f Byzantine nodes sign, there are signatures from f+1 honest nodes, making it possible to recover the original data. 3) Read: The process of reading data from Walrus is also identical to protocols using existing RS encoding, and only primary slivers need to be used. When R receives f+1 or more valid primary slivers from storage nodes, it can recover B and read the data. 4) Recovery; The biggest advantage of Red Stuff compared to RS encoding is evident in the data recovery process. Assuming the network is in an asynchronous environment and nodes can freely enter and leave, there may be nodes that don't receive slivers from W. Therefore, these nodes need to communicate with other nodes to recover slivers. Let's examine how a node that didn't receive slivers recovers data through the above figure (f=1). a: Assume a situation where Node 1 fully possesses the first sliver pair, Node 3 has the third sliver pair, and Node 4 needs to recover the fourth sliver pair. b: Nodes 1 and 3 send symbols that overlap with the fourth sliver pair (S14, S34, S41, S43) to Node 4. c: Since Node 4 now has f+1 or more symbols for the fourth secondary sliver, it can recover the fourth secondary sliver. Extending this logic means that all 2f+1 honest nodes can recover their secondary slivers. d: The fact that 2f+1 nodes all have secondary slivers means there are 2f+1 symbols in each row, which allows for the recovery of all primary slivers using these 2f+1 symbols. In conclusion, if f+1 or more nodes in the network have slivers, the remaining nodes can communicate with them to recover all slivers. The size of a symbol is O(B/n^2), and each node needs to download O(n) symbols, so the recovery cost per node is O(B/n). Extending this to the entire network, the cost for all nodes to recover slivers corresponds to O(B). Considering that the cost of recovering data is O(n^2B) in the full replication method and O(nB) in the encode and share method, the Red Stuff method can process this very efficiently at a cost of O(B). In other words, the data recovery cost is constant regardless of the number of nodes (n) participating in the network. • Walrus Storage Flow: Red Stuff is one method of encoding data. Now, let's look at the big picture of how data storage occurs in Walrus, including interactions with Red Stuff and the Sui network. A user wanting to store data in Walrus acquires storage resources. Storage resources can be purchased directly from the Walrus system object smart contract on the Sui network or from a secondary market. Storage resources can be understood as permissions to store data in Walrus, specifying the start epoch, end epoch, and how much capacity can be stored. The user applies Red Stuff encoding to the blob they want to store and computes the blob ID. Subsequent steps can be performed directly or by publishers existing in the network. To register the blob ID with the storage resource, the user updates the storage resource on the Sui network to trigger an event. The user propagates the blob metadata to all storage nodes and distributes each sliver to the respective nodes. Storage nodes receive the slivers and verify whether the metadata matches the blob ID and the slivers match the metadata, and if the user transmitting the sliver has appropriate storage resources. If deemed valid, storage nodes send signatures for the respective slivers to the user. When the user receives 2f+1 or more signatures, they generate an availability certificate and transmit it to the Sui network. From this point, the PoA (point of availability) status is updated on the Sui network, indicating that the blob is available to everyone. If there are storage nodes that haven't received slivers for that blob even after confirming the PoA, they can sync with other storage nodes to recover the slivers. Note that the Walrus protocol has an epoch concept for a certain period, and the set of participating storage nodes changes with each epoch. The amount of data allocated to storage nodes varies according to the delegated WAL tokens each epoch. Also, because participating nodes can change each epoch, there's an inevitable process of transferring slivers every time the epoch changes. Note that in the default case, slivers are transferred from the previous node to the new node directly instead of going through the recovery process. However, if there's too much data and the sliver transfer time becomes longer than the epoch, the epoch may not end. To prevent this, Walrus separates the data storage (write) and retrieval (read) processes into different epochs just before the end of an epoch. In other words, when the epoch changes and the node reconfiguration process begins, the data storage process proceeds in the next epoch from this point, while the data reading process still continues in the current epoch. When 2f+1 or more nodes in the new committee of the next epoch indicate that sliver recovery is fully prepared, the read operations also smoothly transition to the next epoch. $WAL {spot}(WALUSDT)

Considering that the cost of recovering data is O(n^2B) in the full replication method and O(nB) in the encode and share method, the Red Stuff method can process this very efficiently at a cost of O(B). In other words, the data recovery cost is constant regardless of the number of nodes (n) participating in the network.
• Walrus Storage Flow:
Red Stuff is one method of encoding data. Now, let's look at the big picture of how data storage occurs in Walrus, including interactions with Red Stuff and the Sui network.

A user wanting to store data in Walrus acquires storage resources. Storage resources can be purchased directly from the Walrus system object smart contract on the Sui network or from a secondary market. Storage resources can be understood as permissions to store data in Walrus, specifying the start epoch, end epoch, and how much capacity can be stored. The user applies Red Stuff encoding to the blob they want to store and computes the blob ID. Subsequent steps can be performed directly or by publishers existing in the network. To register the blob ID with the storage resource, the user updates the storage resource on the Sui network to trigger an event. The user propagates the blob metadata to all storage nodes and distributes each sliver to the respective nodes. Storage nodes receive the slivers and verify whether the metadata matches the blob ID and the slivers match the metadata, and if the user transmitting the sliver has appropriate storage resources. If deemed valid, storage nodes send signatures for the respective slivers to the user. When the user receives 2f+1 or more signatures, they generate an availability certificate and transmit it to the Sui network. From this point, the PoA (point of availability) status is updated on the Sui network, indicating that the blob is available to everyone. If there are storage nodes that haven't received slivers for that blob even after confirming the PoA, they can sync with other storage nodes to recover the slivers. Note that the Walrus protocol has an epoch concept for a certain period, and the set of participating storage nodes changes with each epoch. The amount of data allocated to storage nodes varies according to the delegated WAL tokens each epoch. Also, because participating nodes can change each epoch, there's an inevitable process of transferring slivers every time the epoch changes. Note that in the default case, slivers are transferred from the previous node to the new node directly instead of going through the recovery process. However, if there's too much data and the sliver transfer time becomes longer than the epoch, the epoch may not end. To prevent this, Walrus separates the data storage (write) and retrieval (read) processes into different epochs just before the end of an epoch. In other words, when the epoch changes and the node reconfiguration process begins, the data storage process proceeds in the next epoch from this point, while the data reading process still continues in the current epoch. When 2f+1 or more nodes in the new committee of the next epoch indicate that sliver recovery is fully prepared, the read operations also smoothly transition to the next epoch.

World Wide Walrus: Das Protokoll für die nächste Generation der Datenspeicherung• Dezentrales Ledger: Eine Blockchain ist ein verteiltes Ledger, das von mehreren Servern verwaltet wird. Diese Server teilen und verwalten die gleiche Transaktionshistorie über Konsensalgorithmen. Die Tatsache, dass jeder das gleiche Ledger besitzt, führt zu den verschiedenen Vorteilen der Blockchain und macht das verteilte Ledger zum Kern der Blockchain-Technologie. Die Verwaltung eines verteilten Ledgers ist jedoch weitaus schwieriger als die eines zentralisierten Servers. Obwohl die Größe verteilter Ledger schnell ansteigen kann, stellt dies in den frühen Stadien eines Netzwerks kein großes Problem dar. Wenn diese Situation jedoch anhält, könnte die Größe des verteilten Ledgers in Zukunft extrem groß werden, was die Eintrittsbarriere für neue Knoten im Netzwerk sehr hoch machen und möglicherweise zu höheren Transaktionsgebühren für zukünftige Nutzer führen. Daher konzentrieren sich die Anreizsysteme der meisten bestehenden Blockchains ausschließlich auf die Rechenleistung und nicht auf die Speicherung.

Mica Comes to Dusk: On-chain financeMiCA not only regulates, it legitimizes blockchain, bringing us into the fold, setting requirements and providing opportunities. The enforcement of MiCA makes an honest woman of blockchain. • What is MiCA? MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) is the European Union’s framework for crypto-assets. It’s designed to standardize how non-securities DLT-based projects operate, including how they issue assets, provide services, manage custody, and interact with users. Doing so paves the way for the mainstream, institutional adoption of blockchain. Blockchain can be treated like any other technology; institutions understand how to use it, and the regulatory framework means we can operate above board, in the light. MiCA introduces clear EU-wide rules for crypto-asset issuers and service providers. It defines how services should be structured, what information must be disclosed, and when a crypto activity requires a license. It complements, but does not replace, existing financial or AML regulations. It doesn’t cover everything, for example, NFTs, algorithmic stablecoins, DEXs, DAOs, security tokens, mining, staking, CBDCs, and DeFi protocols without intermediaries are still in a grey area, but MiCA draws a clear line around activities that have regulatory consequences. • MiCA Misconceptions: You don’t “get a MiCA license.” You get authorized under MiCA through your local financial regulator, often as a CASP (Crypto-Asset Service Provider: for example centralize exchanges, brokers, and custodians). That authorization lets you operate across the EU. MiCA also doesn’t just apply to stablecoins or centralized exchanges. If your product involves token issuance (minus the above that do not apply, ie, algorithmic stablecoins), custody, advice, or execution, especially in a way that touches users in the EU, you’re subject to the rules. And while some see MiCA as limiting, for many it does the opposite. It provides a framework that institutions can work within, and that’s what opens the door to meaningful adoption. • What changes now? The introduction of MiCA gives legal weight to activities that were previously operating in a vacuum and in the dark. This means more structure and rules, but also more opportunity as institutional money and activities can start to be on-boarded in a meaningful way. Regulated entities can start exploring on-chain asset issuance, provided they are a stablecoin or utility token, without needing workarounds or wrappers. Institutional custody of digital assets has a framework to work with. Service providers have clarity on how to operate legally across the EU. Builders and innovators also have clarity on what the requirements are. While regulation can feel stifling, in this case it actually means innovators can operate in the EU, free from the fear of being found to be uncompliant and backwards punished for infractions before rules existed. • What Happens If You Are Non-Compliant? MiCA doesn’t ban blockchains or protocols, but it does regulate the activities built on top of them. If a project issues tokens (stablecoin or utility token), provides custody, offers trading infrastructure, or promotes investment opportunities to EU users, it falls within MiCA’s scope, regardless of whether the code is open source or the protocol claims to be decentralized. Being based in the EU, or even having core contributors in the EU, increases your exposure. Regulators can interpret “established in the Union” based on substance, not just incorporation, meaning location, operations, and active user engagement all matter. For protocols or teams that aren’t compliant, the consequences can include: ✓ Fines and enforcement actions ✓ Cease-and-desist orders ✓ Blacklisting from regulated counterparties ✓ Loss of access to banking and on/off-ramp services ✓ A negative effect on institutional partnerships Even projects that previously operated in legal grey zones will now find that the bar has been raised. MiCA gives regulators the tools to pursue unlicensed activity across all 27 EU member states, under one framework. For serious builders, especially in the real-world asset space, MiCA isn’t a burden, it’s a blessing. Without it, you’re limiting your access to institutional markets, excluding EU users, and risking enforcement down the line. • Why Dusk is positioned for this moment?
