#Dusk @Dusk $DUSK

Nodes can be online and still irrelevant.

On Dusk, that’s easy to miss at first. Peers answer. Connections stay warm. Messages come back signed, fast enough to feel reassuring. Phoenix keeps producing blocks like nothing’s off.

So you wait.

Replies keep landing. Committee weight keeps talking. It feels reasonable to expect the transition to catch up...just one more round, one more block.

Then it doesn’t.

Not failed. Not pending. Just absent.

You scroll back thinking you missed the handoff. You didn’t. The execution moment already passed on Dusk while everything was still responding. Liveness held. Admissibility didn’t. And the chain didn’t bother to mark the difference in a way humans expect.

Responses still arrive.

They just don’t count anymore.

Blocks keep landing.

That transition never does.
