In-depth analysis of Dusk: Its 'yield farming' opportunities may differ from what you imagine
Disclosure of interests: does not hold $DUSK, not a node operator.
Don't let 'airdrop' limit your thinking. For projects like @dusk_foundation, traditional yield farming may have limited returns. Its real 'early participation value' lies in its testnet ecosystem aimed at institutions.
Unique perspective: Dusk's testnet is more like a 'compliance sandbox' for financial institutions. Therefore, the most valuable participation is not in trading but in:
Conducting in-depth tests of its confidential DeFi applications (such as bond issuance simulations) and providing valuable process feedback.
Focusing on and participating in its joint activities with compliance service providers (KYC/legal), as these partners often bring more precise early user rewards.
The latest project updates show that it is actively building such an ecosystem, and contributors of this kind are more likely to be seen as 'ecosystem builders' rather than 'yield farmers'.
Risk warnings:
Opportunity cost: The time invested may not match the eventual returns, as project reward logic may lean more towards B-end rather than ordinary users.
Technical barriers: Meaningful participation requires an understanding of basic finance and compliance processes.
Rational advice: Instead of blindly interacting, it is better to study its technical documentation and understand the full process of 'institution-level RWA issuance'. This itself is a 'value airdrop' in recognizing the cutting-edge track. Are you ready to participate in such projects with understanding rather than scripts?
