Founded in 2018, Dusk isn’t here to chase hype it’s here to rebuild finance the right way.
I see Dusk as one of the very few Layer-1 blockchains that understands a simple truth: real money lives under real laws.
While most chains force institutions to choose between privacy or compliance, Dusk delivers both by design. Zero-knowledge privacy with selective disclosure, meaning financial data stays confidential unless regulators need to see it. That’s not a workaround — that’s maturity.
What makes Dusk better than the rest?
It’s purpose-built for regulated finance, not retrofitted. From tokenized real-world assets and compliant DeFi to institutional-grade smart contracts, every layer is engineered for banks, funds, and governments — not memes.
Dusk’s modular architecture allows financial applications to scale without breaking compliance rules. Its privacy-preserving settlement, on-chain identity, and auditability make it one of the most realistic bridges between traditional finance and blockchain.
This isn’t just another L1.
This is financial infrastructure for the next decade.
Quiet. Serious. Powerful.
That’s why Dusk matters.

Walrus vs Strawman I: Why Full Replication Wastes Massive Bandwidth
Full replication—storing complete copies across all validators—is the strawman approach to decentralized storage. Every validator holds every byte. Conceptually simple. Cryptographically straightforward. And monumentally wasteful.
The bandwidth costs accumulate silently. A blob written to n validators requires transmitting complete data n times. Recovery is equally expensive: retrieving a large blob forces downloading from at least one validator, consuming full bandwidth. Scale this across millions of blobs across networks with thousands of validators, and bandwidth becomes the limiting cost factor, not storage.
Filecoin and Arweave accepted this tradeoff knowingly. Full replication made security arguments trivial and implementation simple. The cost was acceptable when storage was expensive and decentralized networks were experimental. That era has ended. Modern applications routinely handle terabyte-scale datasets where full replication multiplies bandwidth costs by 25 or more.
The bandwidth waste compounds through redundancy. Not only is each blob replicated fully, but redundancy itself is replicated. Every validator stores every byte of every redundancy mechanism. The system wastes bandwidth at every layer.
@WalrusProtocol rejects this strawman not from principle but from pragmatism. When storage is cheap and bandwidth is expensive, replicating everything becomes economically irrational. Smarter encoding delivers security with a fraction of the bandwidth cost.

XRP Experiences Massive Outflow from Binance Despite Price Challenges
In the past year, billions of dollars in XRP have been moved from Binance to private wallets, causing a nearly 45% drop in Binance’s XRP reserves. This pattern indicates that fewer holders are planning to sell in the near future and long-term storage is becoming more widespread. On-chain data also suggest a similar pattern to early 2022, where prices dropped over several months. However, despite this large outflow, XRP’s price continues to struggle, falling over 11% in the last week. The token dipped to $1.84 before recovering to around $1.90. Analysts also note a drop in trading volume during this downtrend, possibly indicating reduced interest from buyers. Despite the challenging price situation, some analysts see the current setup as a possible accumulation phase after a decline.

Dusk Network powers Dusk coin with smart contracts built for privacy in finance. Unlike regular blockchains, it hides deal details while keeping things fast and compliant with rules like EU regs. Coders use Rust to write these contracts on Rusk, the platform's virtual machine that runs decentralized apps for trading assets or automating payments. Dusk coin pays fees for deploying or running them, rewarding network nodes for checks and storage.
A basic example is a counter contract on GitHub, showing how to build, compile to WebAssembly, and test locally before going live.
This setup lets banks issue tokens without exposing sensitive data, making real-world asset trades secure on a public chain.
Big partnerships some exchange prove it's ready for institutions handling billions. Right now, Dusk trades around $0.23, with volume spiking as privacy tech gains traction. Devs love its zero-knowledge proofs for confidential execution, no hacks or leaks.
If you're into coding one, start with their docs and cargo tools. It's open-source under MPL-2.0, so fork and tweak freely.
Caroline Ellison’s Federal Supervision Ends Today
Caroline Ellison has been released from federal supervision, closing a major chapter in the FTX–Alameda collapse saga.
However, the story isn’t fully over — she remains under a 10-year ban from executive roles in public companies and crypto-related firms following her SEC settlement.
📌 From the 2022 collapse to cooperation, sentencing, and release, this marks a significant milestone in one of crypto’s most consequential cases.

TRX Token Faces 2.64% Drop Despite $1.4B Stablecoin Inflow and Deribit Options Launch
TRXUSDT declined by 2.64% over the last 24 hours, opening at 0.3034 and currently trading at 0.2954 on Binance. This price decrease follows recent significant inflows of stablecoins to the TRON network, including $1.4 billion in the past day and a new all-time high USDT supply of 83.4 billion, which generally signal institutional activity but have not translated into immediate price support. The launch of TRX options on Deribit and an expanded partnership with Revolut have increased institutional access and user engagement, while overall trading volume for TRX/USDT remains strong at around $808 million. Despite recent volatility and high network activity, short-term price pressure is evident, with investors closely monitoring developments amid dynamic market conditions.
