When Dusk moved to mainnet in early 2025, it did not arrive with fireworks. It arrived with readiness. The work that mattered had already been done. The network feels thoughtfully separated, each layer doing its job without getting in the way of the others. Privacy is not treated as something fragile or special, it is simply assumed. The same is true for compliance. Builders are not forced to choose between the two. DUSK sits quietly underneath it all, aligning security, fees, and responsibility. There is a sense of restraint in this design. It is not trying to impress quickly. It is trying to hold up over time.
