The strength of any blockchain lies in its economic model, and $DUSK is designed for long-term sustainability and security. As a native Layer 1 token, $DUSK K serves multiple critical roles within the @dusk_foundation ecosystem. It is used for transaction fees, staking to secure the network, and as the primary currency for purchasing tokenized assets.
What makes #dusk particularly interesting in 2026 is the "Hyperstaking" model, which incentivizes nodes to maintain the network’s privacy-centric infrastructure. As the RWA sector grows, every tokenized bond or share issued on the network increases the utility of $DUSK K. Furthermore, with the ongoing CreatorPad rewards pool of over 3.5 million tokens, the community is more incentivized than ever to support the network's growth. We are witnessing the birth of a new financial rail—one that is permissionless yet compliant, private yet auditable. Joining the @Dusk undation movement today means being part of a protocol that values real-world utility over short-term hype.
