When we talk about Layer-1 networks, discussions often arise between proponents of 'slow but secure' PoW and 'fast but centralized' PoS. However, @Dusk took a different path, creating the Succinct Attestation (SA) protocol. Why is this important for the future of the industry?
Finality of transactions per second
One of the main problems of financial markets is the lack of instant finality. In traditional networks, you need to wait for several confirmations to be sure that the transaction will not be reversed.
#Dusk changes the rules: thanks to SA, blocks achieve deterministic finality almost instantly (on average 3-5 seconds). This is critically important for stock trading and interbank transfers, where every second of delay costs millions.
Decentralization without 'whales'
Regular Proof-of-Stake is often criticized for making the rich even richer by capturing control of the network. In the Dusk architecture, participation in consensus is organized differently:
Low barrier to entry: Any token holder can run a node and participate in the protection of the network.
Blind rotation: The algorithm selects validators in such a way as to eliminate bias and the possibility of collusion among major players.
Efficiency: The network does not require gigantic computing power, remaining eco-friendly and accessible.
Institutional-level security
In 2026, security is not only protection against hacks but also protection against regulatory fines. Succinct Attestation works in conjunction with ZK-proofs, allowing the network to verify the validity of a block without revealing the contents of transactions. This creates a 'shield' for corporate data without sacrificing decentralization.
Conclusion: While other projects try to fix old algorithms with 'patches', Dusk has offered a ready, mathematically sound model for the economy of the future.
