Why I think the next phase of the Dusk Foundation relies not on hype but on three 'verifiable pathways'If you still simply understand the Dusk Foundation as a privacy chain, that's actually a bit of a pity. What it truly aims to do is more like a set of on-chain infrastructures that are 'compliant and usable' in finance. This positioning sounds grand, but I prefer to break it down into three pathways that can be grounded, quantified, and verified. Once you understand these three pathways, it becomes easier to judge whether the project is progressing or just going in circles. Let me first state a realistic background. After June 30, 2025, MiCA will fully apply across the EU, and many things that could previously be ambiguous will need to become clear, including issuer responsibilities, service provider boundaries, information disclosure, and rules related to stablecoins and trading platforms. The Dusk Foundation has repeatedly emphasized the combination of compliance and privacy, and I think it's not just jumping on the bandwagon, but rather laying the groundwork for a more defined regulatory environment. Its approach is not to treat regulation as an enemy, but as a constraint to design an on-chain market that can protect sensitive information while also allowing rules to be verified. Whether this direction is correct ultimately depends on whether it can execute the processes that institutions care most about, rather than how loud the community slogans are.

From the perspective of compliance and business implementation, why Vanar Chain resembles the next generation of data infrastructureIn the crypto industry, many projects often sidestep a practical issue when discussing the future: why should businesses put critical data and key processes on the blockchain? Technologists might say it's because of immutability, auditability, and composability, but business decision-makers are often more concerned with three things: Can costs be predicted? Can liability boundaries be defined? Can data be reused without leaking? If we only look at the Vanar Chain's roadmap through a crypto-native framework, it's easy to underestimate its understanding of business problems. What it aims to do is not just let everyone make a few more transfers, but to enable businesses to solidify context into verifiable assets when using AI and data tools, to turn authorization and access into auditable actions, to transform the generation and reuse of insights into traceable links, and then to map these high-frequency yet controllable actions as on-chain transactions and expense outlays.

The key advantages of the Vanar Chain are not in being faster or cheaper, but in whether the budgeted costs and auditable memory workflows can make enterprises willing to adopt it. The subscription signals of myNeutron are very important; once renewal and retention stabilize, high-frequency calls on the chain are more likely to become the norm, and the demand for VANRY will be closer to resource consumption and security budgets, rather than short-term emotions. The focus of observation should be on these three aspects: call intensity, renewal curves, and the proportion of high-value actions. @Vanar $VANRY #Vanar

Recently, I watched Plasma. The focus is no longer just on the phrase 'zero-fee stablecoin transfers' itself, but on the specific advancements the Plasma project has made in turning this phrase into usable capabilities. The core positioning of Plasma has always been very clear, centered around stablecoins, especially in making the experience of transferring and settling stablecoins closer to everyday usage. For me, the most critical aspect of Plasma is not a single spike in data, but whether it can make stablecoin channels the default path, allowing users to use stablecoins on Plasma as smoothly as in familiar payment scenarios. I noticed that Plasma emphasizes 'the system takes on complexity for the user' in many expressions. This means that Plasma is not passing the troubles of fuel, fees, and congestion back to the user, but is trying to absorb these troubles at the Plasma network layer and Plasma product layer, lowering the operational threshold for stablecoin payments. If this direction is realized, Plasma's advantages will be strong, because in the end, what matters in the stablecoin sector is consistency of experience and path dependence. If you find using stablecoins on Plasma hassle-free once, after ten times it will become a habit, and habits are harder to be taken away than incentives. At the same time, I will also keep an eye on the 'feasibility' of the Plasma ecosystem. Plasma does not just shout about the prosperity of the DeFi ecosystem, but explains more specifically what can be done with stablecoins on Plasma, such as whether stablecoins can smoothly enter lending, trading, routing, fund management, and other links, forming a repeatable cycle of capital turnover. For Plasma, the stock of stablecoins is just the base; the key is whether stablecoins can continue to flow on Plasma, whether the flow can bring real service revenue, and thereby support Plasma in continuing to compress the basic experience to a very low cost level. I will also view Plasma as a 'payment network operation issue'. If the zero-fee or near-zero-fee stablecoin experience is validated on Plasma, it will inevitably attract a large number of real small transfers, while also attracting scripts and noise. The Plasma project must effectively manage anti-abuse, rate control, and budget management without compromising the experience; these are essential steps for Plasma to transition from 'slogan' to 'infrastructure'. @Plasma $XPL #plasma

Inferring the Value of Plasma from the Merchant's PerspectiveIf you change the perspective from the investor to the merchant, Plasma's story suddenly becomes very specific. Merchants do not care what the consensus algorithm is called, nor do they care how beautiful the TPS poster is. Merchants care about four things: whether payments are stable, whether costs can be calculated in advance, how well refund disputes can be handled, and whether money can smoothly return to their familiar account system. Breaking these four things down reveals why Plasma places stablecoins first. Stablecoins are a natural unit of account for merchants; they do not require frequent conversions like volatile coins do, nor do they require an additional risk hedging process for finance. Many seemingly advanced on-chain payment solutions ultimately get stuck on a common problem: merchants do not want to bear the burden of price volatility, do not want to handle complex reconciliations, and do not want to face the cost of disputes over 'the customer says they paid, but I haven't received it.' Stablecoins can bring these issues into a more familiar paradigm, where the amount paid is exactly the amount received, and accounts are easier to reconcile.

I have recently been more inclined to see dusk_foundation as an "operating system for compliant assets on the blockchain" rather than a single narrative. What it is doing is actually quite coherent. The mainnet advancement makes the underlying state more verifiable, DuskEVM gives developers a more familiar entry point, and Hedger pushes privacy capabilities to the application layer, making privacy not just a slogan but a callable module. Looking further out, the bi-directional bridge connects the mainnet and BSC back and forth, with clear bridging rules, deducting 1 DUSK per transaction, and the time is also expected, which will transform cross-ecosystem migration from a one-off event into a daily schedule. More importantly, it pushes the link of regulated assets towards an "end-to-end framework," emphasizing interoperability and data standards, attempting to connect the hard links of issuance, trading, settlement, and data publishing. For DUSK, the further this route goes, the more it needs real on-chain consumption, cross-ecosystem scheduling, and staking security budgets to support it, rather than relying solely on market hype. When people discuss it, focusing more on which assets are performing, how frequently the bridge is used, and the stability of staking participation, that will indicate that the direction of dusk_foundation is beginning to materialize. @Dusk_Foundation $DUSK #Dusk

Understanding Vanar Chain's Verifiable Growth Model from Chain to Product to Token through Operational MetricsMany people start the conversation about public chains with a question: Is this chain fast? Is it costly? Such comparisons were very useful in the early days, but by 2026, this framework increasingly fails to explain the real winners and losers. This is because more and more value is not generated in one-time transactional impulses, but in continuous workflows. The networks that can truly generate cash flow and real retention are often not those that push parameters to the limit, but those that fulfill a certain type of high-frequency demand that users cannot live without, make costs budgetable, create experiences that are transferable, and embed on-chain actions into daily tools. Vanar Chain deserves to be viewed from another perspective, similar to how one would look at an infrastructure product company's user path, retention structure, revenue model, and token demand curve.

Is dusk_foundation actually doing privacy narrative or building institutional-level infrastructureI often see two completely different voices. The first voice says that dusk_foundation is part of the privacy track; when the market for privacy coins arrives, it will take off. The second voice says that privacy in this direction is too difficult for compliance, institutions will not use it, and in the end, it will still be a small circle enjoying itself. Both sides speak very absolutely and miss some key points. I want to break it down in a debate-style writing and be more specific. Start from the perspective of supporters. Supporters will say that institutions need privacy, and securities cannot be completely transparent. The positioning of dusk_foundation exactly addresses the pain points of institutions. I agree with this, but I want to add a point: what institutions want is not black-box privacy, but rule-verifiable privacy. The difference is significant. Black-box privacy makes it impossible for regulators to audit, while rule-verifiable privacy allows regulators to verify whether transactions occur according to the rules without exposing all details to the entire network. If supporters only shout 'privacy,' they can easily mislead themselves. The correct way to phrase it should be that dusk_foundation treats privacy as part of the compliance process, aiming to make the market operate more like a real market, rather than like an anonymous chat room.

How will dusk_foundation be used in the future?I want to adopt a writing style that is closer to the actual business scene, avoiding too many concepts, and directly placing dusk_foundation into a real financial process to see if it can truly alleviate a lot of troubles. Assume there is a small to medium-sized enterprise in Europe that is doing well but needs money for expansion. It does not want to turn financing into a large public relations spectacle; what it wants is controllable costs, compliant processes, a clear investor structure, and ideally some secondary liquidity. How would traditional practices proceed? Find an intermediary, conduct due diligence, make disclosures, open accounts, sign documents, list for trading, settle transactions, and then a bunch of data needs to be reconciled across different systems. Every step requires people, every step requires auditing, and every step could potentially prolong the cycle.

The more effective way to view Vanar Chain is to consider it as a network driven by memory and workflow products rather than as a purely transactional public chain. The user journey generally involves solidifying information into a Seed, then repeatedly calling it through retrieval and combination, and finally mapping high-frequency calls into on-chain microtransactions and budgetable expense expenditures. The subscription signals from myNeutron indicate that the team is prioritizing retention and renewal as core metrics; once the renewal curve stabilizes, token demand is more likely to stem from real usage. For VANRY, short-term fluctuations will always exist, but the factors that determine long-term value capture seem to be three hard indicators. Whether the average daily call volume continues to rise during periods of market calm, whether subscription renewals bring stable cash flow, and whether the fee structure gradually expands from low-value queries to higher-value workflow actions. If two of these three indicators show continuous improvement, the pricing logic of VANRY is more likely to shift from emotion-driven to usage-driven. @Vanar $VANRY #Vanar

Viewing the recent three major events together, the direction of dusk_foundation is actually very clearIf you only look at a single piece of news, you might feel that the pace of dusk_foundation is a bit slow, as if it is gradually filling in gaps. However, when I string together its recent actions chronologically and put tokens and data into the same chart, I find that its direction is very clear. What it aims to create is an on-chain infrastructure that can support the entire process of compliant assets, and it is currently implementing the necessary components one by one. First, let's talk about the three most representative actions recently. The first action is to work with regulated market infrastructure to turn interoperability and data standards into framework-level capabilities. The focus is not on partnership posters, but rather on clearly bringing cross-chain interoperability, market data publication, and on-chain settlement into the same framework. For compliant assets, these three aspects are hard requirements, not optional. What institutions fear most is not a slightly slower transaction, but rather inconsistencies in settlement statuses, unclear data sources, and not knowing whose responsibility it is when issues arise in cross-ecosystem circulation. Treating interoperability as a normative layer and data as a standard layer essentially delineates the boundaries of responsibility in advance.

Many people understand Plasma as a stablecoin channel that reduces fees to an extremely low level, but I am more concerned about how it transforms what seems like a free transfer into a sustainable service. The real challenge is not to make the fees close to zero, but to transfer costs and risks from the user side to the system side without sacrificing the user experience, while still ensuring that the system can survive. At the product level, users do not want to buy fuel tokens upfront, do not want to study the fee curve, and certainly do not want to make choices during congestion. If Plasma wants stablecoins to be as smooth as daily payments, it must take on some of the complexity for the users, which brings two direct challenges. The first is abuse; zero friction naturally attracts batch scripts, volume manipulation, and resource-consuming attacks. The second is budgeting; when the system pays costs on behalf of users, it is essentially implementing a dynamic subsidy and admission strategy. Therefore, I see Plasma focusing on three signals. The first is whether the anti-abuse mechanism is stable, whether the rules are clear and predictable, and to ensure normal users are not mistakenly harmed. The second is whether the application layer can continuously generate sufficient service revenue to cover the discounts on basic experiences, instead of relying on external blood transfusions forever. The third is whether the channel can bring on-chain advantages to off-chain scenarios, such as smoother deposits and withdrawals, and simpler payment loops, allowing usage to become a habit rather than a one-time spike. If these signals gradually become true, zero fees will no longer be a marketing slogan, but will turn into a scalable stablecoin infrastructure path. @Plasma $XPL #plasma

The Account Behind Zero Fees: A Perspective on Plasma from the Payment Product AngleIf stablecoins are considered a product rather than an asset, the criteria for evaluating a blockchain would immediately change. Performance is certainly important, but what matters more is whether the path is short enough, whether the costs are sufficiently predictable, whether the risk control is manageable, and whether the channels can bring the on-chain experience into off-chain scenarios. The reason Plasma is worth discussing is not because it presents itself as an all-purpose public blockchain, but because it breaks down the stablecoin payment issue into an operational system, digesting the hardest friction within the protocol and product.

I think what dusk_foundation is currently lacking the most is not stories, but rather showing more people "what can be done". Fortunately, its direction is actually quite clear: the mainnet is the foundation, DuskEVM is the development entry point, interoperability and data standards are the bridges connecting the institutional world, and over-staking is the key to turning the security budget into product capabilities. For developers, the most realistic issue is whether they can create compliant financial-related applications at a lower cost, such as a trading experience more like the securities market, clearer settlement processes, more reliable data input, while also protecting sensitive information. For the ecosystem, the most realistic issue is whether it can grow a batch of services around DUSK, including staking services, node operation services, cross-ecosystem liquidity tools, and application templates aimed at real assets. As long as these things start to take shape, the discussions around duskfoundation will shift from "is the concept correct" to "is this something people really use". What I look forward to seeing more is that while it advances institutional connections, it also makes the participation path for ordinary users smoother and provides better tools for builders. This way, DUSK's presence will increasingly resemble a daily resource on the network, rather than just a token that appears in market quotes. @Dusk_Foundation $DUSK {spot}(DUSKUSDT) #Dusk

When discussing DUSK, I am more concerned with two things: first, whether the token economics are designed for long-term operation, and second, whether the on-chain costs and security budget have formed a positive feedback loop. The token structure of duskfoundation is inherently long-term oriented, with a maximum supply of one billion tokens, and a long release span, which essentially allocates a budget for long-term network security and ecological operation. Looking at the fee mechanism, it does not just end with collecting a transaction fee; rather, it binds the fees to block rewards and the earnings of network participants. This is crucial for a network that aims to carry compliant assets because you need a stable security budget to encourage institutions to engage in more serious settlement and asset activities. Not to mention the productization possibilities brought by super staking; once staking becomes service-oriented and productized, the participant structure will be more decentralized and stable, and the locking and usage logic of DUSK will resemble that of infrastructure. No one can guarantee how the short-term market will behave, but structurally speaking, the more duskfoundation resembles a long-term network, the more DUSK needs to rely on actual usage for pricing, rather than on a temporary surge in interest. @Dusk_Foundation $DUSK {spot}(DUSKUSDT) #Dusk

I want to make dusk_foundation sound more like a user story. A new user first obtains DUSK through a more convenient channel, and then they face a choice: should they continue to hold it on the platform to watch the price fluctuations, or take it to the chain to participate in the mainnet? The key to this choice lies in two things: whether the path is open and whether the path is easy to traverse. The concept of a bi-directional bridge is significant for the ecosystem because it allows for a two-way switch between the mainnet and external ecosystems, rather than a one-time migration. Many projects get stuck at the step of 'pulling users from exchanges to the chain', often not because the concept isn't grand enough, but because there are too many steps, too many risks, and unclear costs. After duskfoundation clarifies the rules and fees, cross-ecosystem scheduling becomes more like a daily tool, and users are more willing to try mainnet features such as staking, transferring, and contract interaction. Additionally, with the expansion of trading entry points, the overall effect is to reduce friction. My intuition is that the more duskfoundation can make these paths resemble highways, the more it can shift the demand for DUSK from 'buying and selling' to 'using and consuming', which is crucial for the long term. @Dusk_Foundation $DUSK {spot}(DUSKUSDT) #Dusk

Many people simplify dusk_foundation as a privacy project, but I think this misses its core ambition. It is more like creating a regulatory-compliant on-chain market foundation, where the focus is not on mystery, but on streamlining the processes for compliant assets. You see, it brings interoperability and data standards to the forefront, while tying together keywords like regulated secondary markets, cross-chain settlement, and market data publication. This indicates that what it wants to create is an end-to-end link, not just a showcase. For institutions, issuance is just the starting point; there are still trading, clearing and settlement, reconciliation, auditing, and data source description to consider, which are the factors that determine scalability. Duskfoundation will naturally be slower on this path compared to 'creating a bustling ecosystem', but its advantage lies in the fact that once it is operational, it is difficult to replicate, as processes and standards create barriers. The role of DUSK here is more like basic fuel and security budget; you need to consume for interaction, you need to stake for security, and you need to schedule for cross-ecosystem interactions. The closer the project gets to real institutional use, the more likely DUSK will transition from an emotional asset to a utility asset. @Dusk_Foundation $DUSK {spot}(DUSKUSDT) #Dusk

I find the method of dusk_foundation very simple now. Instead of following emotions, I focus on how much it can supplement the "sustainable framework" of the mainnet. The mainnet is not just about going live; it's about whether you can make stable transfers, use the chain reliably, stake consistently, and produce blocks steadily. They set the staking threshold at a level of one thousand DUSK, which overall feels like they want more people to participate in network security, rather than letting only a few big players call the shots. Interestingly, there's this line of super staking, which extends staking from individual actions to contracts, allowing developers significant space to engage in delegated staking, automated pools, and even more product-like participation methods. When you piece these together, you'll find that duskfoundation not only wants everyone to "buy coins," but also wants everyone to "use the chain," pushing DUSK from a symbol in exchanges to a daily resource on the chain. Next, what I most want to see is the increasing number of tools and services centered around the mainnet, such as smoother wallet experiences, more stable node operation services, and clearer staking participation entry points. As long as these become more mature, the mainnet will slowly transition from a technical event to infrastructure. @Dusk_Foundation $DUSK {spot}(DUSKUSDT) #Dusk

Hyperstaking is not a gimmick; it is transforming staking from a secure action into a programmable financial moduleI want to specifically write an article about Hyperstaking, because it is the most easily underestimated part of the Dusk Foundation in the past year. Many people's first reaction upon seeing it is, oh, it's just another term for staking. But after seriously reading the documents, my feeling is that it is more like an upgrade of the 'staking paradigm.' In the past, staking felt more like locking your coins into the system, the system rewards you, and there are very limited things you can do. The core change of Hyperstaking is that it allows smart contracts to also participate in staking. This will bring a series of very practical consequences and will directly change the demand structure of DUSK and the ecological product forms.
