Every trader knows that speed isn’t a luxury—it’s risk mitigation. Ethereum’s average block time of ~12 seconds sounds fast, but real settlement often takes minutes when confirmations are required. High-demand spikes make the mempool a battleground: underpay gas and you wait, overpay and it feels like a tax.
Dusk takes a different path. Designed for regulated finance and privacy-preserving workflows, Dusk targets predictable finality and smoother execution. Its consensus uses phased leader selection and agreement, allowing blocks to be finalized efficiently without global market congestion.
The impact is tangible for traders: predictable confirmation times reduce execution uncertainty, slippage, and the need to pad for worst-case gas fees. For institutions and DeFi projects needing compliance and auditability, this reliability is worth more than raw block speed.
Finally, Dusk’s purpose-built focus changes fee psychology. Without competing for global blockspace, fees remain stable even during high-activity periods. Traders and institutions can plan with certainty, lowering operational risk and enabling faster capital movement.
