How Proof of Stake works in Walrus
Instead of mining, Walrus relies on staked tokens to secure the network and guarantee reliable storage.
🔹 Storage nodes (operators) must stake tokens
🔹 Stake acts as collateral
🔹 Nodes earn rewards for:
Correctly storing data
Serving data when requested
Staying online and honest
🔹 Nodes are penalized (slashed) if they:
Lose data
Go offline

Walrus uses Proof of Stake (PoS) — but in a storage-focused way, not like classic L1 blockchains.
Walrus Proof of Stake (PoS) — Explained Simply
What Walrus is
Walrus is a decentralized data storage protocol built on the Sui ecosystem, designed for large files, media, and programmable data.

Why this matters
Dusk focuses on:
Institutional finance
Regulated assets
Privacy-preserving smart contracts
PoW is unsuitable for these goals, which is why Dusk chose PoS.
One-line summary

@Walrus 🦭/acc
👉 Dusk Network does NOT use Proof of Work; it uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus called Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA).
If you want, I can also explain SBA vs PoW, Dusk vs Bitcoin, or why Dusk avoided mining.

Dusk Network does not use Proof of Work (PoW).
What consensus does Dusk use?
Dusk Network uses Proof of Stake (PoS), specifically its own Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA) consensus mechanism.
Why Dusk is NOT Proof of Work
Proof of Work (like Bitcoin) requires:
Heavy energy consumption
Mining hardware
Hash-based competition
Dusk was designed to avoid these drawbacks.
Dusk Consensus Explained (Simple)
🔹 Mechanism: Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA)
🔹 Type: Proof of Stake
🔹 Validators: Stake DUSK tokens instead of mining
@Dusk
🔹 Energy Efficient: No mining, no GPUs/ASICs
🔹 Fast Finality: Blocks finalize quickly
🔹 Privacy-Friendly: Works well with zero-knowledge proofs

Here’s a side-by-side comparison of Dusk Network vs Sui, focusing on consensus, architecture, purpose, and use-cases:
🧠 1. Core Purpose & Focus
🔹 Dusk Network
@Dusk
Layer-1 blockchain built for regulated finance and privacy.
Targeted for tokenized securities, regulated DeFi, and institutional use-cases with on-chain compliance (e.g., MiFID II/MiCA).
Privacy by design using zero-knowledge proofs to protect transaction details and participant data.

Simple Words:
Dusk consensus allows validators to agree on blocks quickly, privately, and securely — without exposing identities or transaction details.

Committee-Based Validation
Validators are selected into rotating committees
Selection is stake-weighted
Reduces attack surface and improves scalability
6️⃣ Finality & Performance
Near-instant finality
High throughput with low latency
Designed for institutional-grade blockchain use

@Dusk
7️⃣ Why Dusk’s Consensus Is Unique
Feature
Dusk Network

#dusk
$DUSK

Zero-Knowledge Friendly Consensus 🛡️
Dusk integrates zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) directly into consensus:
Validator identities can remain private
Transactions are validated without revealing sensitive data
Ideal for:
Regulated financial products
Privacy-preserving smart contracts
4️⃣ Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT)
Dusk consensus is Byzantine Fault Tolerant
Network remains secure even if:

@Dusk
Up to ⅓ of validators act maliciously
Finality is deterministic (no probabilistic reorgs like PoW)
#dusk
$DUSK

Uses BLS signatures → multiple validator signatures are aggregated into one
Results in:
Faster block finality
Smaller block sizes
Lower network overhead
