As blockchains grow, they often become harder for normal people to support. More users bring more apps. More apps create more data. Over time, running a node needs stronger hardware and more storage. When this happens, only a small number of operators can keep the network running. This slowly reduces decentralization.
Dusk is built with this risk in mind.
Instead of building one large and heavy blockchain, Dusk separates responsibilities. The main layer of the network focuses only on the most important tasks, such as security, agreement between nodes, and final settlement. This core is designed to stay small and efficient.
Other parts of the system handle application activity. These execution layers can grow, change, or even be replaced without affecting the core network. Because of this separation, new features do not overload the entire chain.
This approach helps keep node requirements reasonable. More people can run nodes, and control stays spread across the network rather than concentrating in a few hands.
Modularity also supports Dusk’s bigger goal. Dusk is not building a playground for experiments. It is building technology meant for real financial use. Financial systems must work reliably over many years. A network that becomes too complex or too expensive to operate cannot meet that standard.
By keeping the base layer lean and allowing growth at the edges, Dusk is designed to remain stable, decentralized, and sustainable as it matures. This shows a focus on long-term strength rather than short-term attention.
