Dusk: Kad-cast Messaging for Low-Latency Privacy in Resource-Constrained Networks
I’ve seen “privacy” chains stumble because they treat messaging like an afterthought, then wonder why wallets feel slow on weak connections. DUSK FOUNDATION leans into a Kad-cast spread: the network forwards small encrypted packets hop-by-hop instead of leaning on a few heavy relays, so modest nodes keep up and latency stays steadier.It’s like passing sealed envelopes along a mapped neighborhood route instead of sending a truck to every door.lightweight peer forwarding; trade-off: extra coordination to keep routes healthy.gas for execution, staking for security/availability duties, and governance for protocol parameters.if many peers drop or get partitioned, propagation can stall and proofs arrive too late to finalize.I’m not sure this holds up under sustained adversarial churn without raising bandwidth costs.
