I used to think leaving a validator role meant a reset.
On Dusk, it doesn’t. Stake unwinds, sure. But what follows you is committee formation: whether you showed up, whether your attestations landed late, whether you drifted when participation got thin. That record doesn’t disappear just because you rotated out.
It doesn’t shout. It just sits there, waiting for the next moment the network has to decide who’s reliable versus who is merely present.
Most systems punish and move on.
Dusk keeps the record.
You feel that the next time reliability stops being theoretical.
