#dusk $DUSK Investors have been looking for real-world implementations of Dusk's technology, but the project has struggled to establish itself as a go-to platform for privacy-preserving decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions. In comparison to more established competitors, Dusk hasn’t captured a significant share of the privacy blockchain market, which has hurt its long-term potential.
$DUSK #dusk @Dusk Dusk Network (DUSK), a privacy-oriented blockchain platform, has been facing a significant decline in its market performance. Once seen as a promising project in the realm of privacy-preserving technology, Dusk's recent struggles have raised concerns among investors. Let’s dive into the key factors driving this downtrend and why DUSK might be facing a difficult road ahead. Lack of Adoption and Use Cases One of the main factors contributing to DUSK's decline is the lack of significant real-world adoption. Despite the project’s focus on providing a privacy-preserving blockchain infrastructure for financial markets, the number of applications built on the Dusk Network remains limited. Without widespread use, it's hard for any project to gain long-term momentum and generate demand for its native token. Investors have been looking for real-world implementations of Dusk's technology, but the project has struggled to establish itself as a go-to platform for privacy-preserving decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions. In comparison to more established competitors, Dusk hasn’t captured a significant share of the privacy blockchain market, which has hurt its long-term potential. Competition in the Privacy Blockchain Space Privacy is a crucial aspect of blockchain technology, and several projects are competing for dominance in this space. Projects like Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Secret Network (SCRT) are already well-established and have larger communities, more liquidity, and stronger ecosystems. Dusk’s value proposition of offering privacy-focused blockchain infrastructure is compelling, but it faces stiff competition from these established players. This makes it harder for Dusk to attract developers and users, leading to slower growth and fewer integrations.
English September 3, 2025 By Walrus Foundation With Seal, Walrus Becomes the First Decentralized Data Platform with Access Control Seal is now available with Walrus Mainnet, offering encryption and access control for anyone building on the protocol. Announcement Product
Seal is now available with Walrus Mainnet, offering encryption and access control for anyone building on the protocol. As the data layer for Web3, Walrus already provides decentralized infrastructure for data storage, availability, and programmability. With the launch of Seal, Walrus now delivers a solution for integrating programmable data access into any app at any scale. Web3’s transparency means data is public by default. For many, that is a benefit, while others require privacy or access controls. Walrus with Seal enables builders to create products that not only require verifiable data, but also data privacy, fine-grained access, and secured sharing. A whole world of Web3 apps becomes possible when these technologies work together. Making privacy part of public infrastructure Transparency is the core ethos of Web3, but the idea that your data is visible to everyone can present challenges for builders and users alike. For those who need to manage potentially sensitive data, it’s a nonstarter. Anyone who wants to keep data confidential either has to use a centralized service or build a custom setup–not only time-consuming and expensive, but also a barrier to entry for newcomers exploring onchain data management solutions. Thanks to the launch of Seal, Walrus is the first decentralized data platform to natively offer onchain access control. Developers can now protect sensitive data, define who can access it, and enforce those rules entirely onchain. Unlocking transformative use cases With the addition of programmable data access control, Walrus now enables entirely new categories of applications that were previously impossible in decentralized environments. For example: AI Dataset Marketplaces: Organizations can now share proprietary training data or fine-tuned models while enforcing strict access policies. Data providers can monetize their assets without losing control, creating new revenue streams in the AI economy.Token-Gated Subscription Services: Premium content such as exclusive podcast episodes, videos, or educational materials can be encrypted and made accessible only to verified subscribers, enabling sustainable creator economies on Web3.Dynamic Gaming Content: Game developers can reveal encrypted in-game content, story elements, or assets only when players achieve specific milestones, creating more engaging and interactive gaming experiences.
#plasma$XPL The next phase of Plasma involves several key developments:
Consensus Decentralization (Three-Phase Rollout):
Trusted Validator Launch - A small group of known validators will secure the network at mainnet launch
Validator Expansion - The validator set will scale to test horizontal performance under larger committee sizes
Permissionless Participation - Plasma will open validator access to the public, enabling full decentralization
Stablecoin-Native Features Launch: The stablecoin-native contract suite will launch shortly after mainnet beta, including:
Zero-fee USD₮ transfers
Custom gas tokens for USD₮ and BTC
Confidential payments (under active research)
Bitcoin Bridge Development: The Bitcoin bridge and pBTC issuance system are under active development and will not be live at mainnet beta launch.
Progressive Decentralization: Plasma is following a progressive decentralization model, prioritizing network stability and performance before gradually expanding validator participation and opening consensus to the public.
The project is currently in mainnet beta phase, with external validator participation planned for post-mainnet, though no fixed timeline has been announced for when consensus participation will open to the public.

Explore how decentralized social media empowers creators to control, monetize, and protect their content through Web3 content platforms, SocialFi, and blockchain-powered tools. The rise of Web2 social platforms gave creators unprecedented reach. But it came with a trade-off. Platforms owned your content, dictated your reach, and pocketed most of the profit. That era is now being challenged. Welcome to decentralized social media, where you’re no longer just a user but a stakeholder. Built on blockchain and Web3 principles, these platforms are transforming how we create, monetize, and safeguard our digital identities. The Problem with Traditional Platforms & Centralized Social Media Think about your Instagram posts, YouTube videos, or tweets. You created them, but do you actually own them? Beneath every popular platform lies a centralized system. These companies own your data, control who sees your content, and profit from your audience through ads. If you break a rule (even unknowingly), your account can vanish—no appeal, no compensation. The Web2 model benefits the platform, not the creator. Decentralized social media flips that narrative.

$DUSK The Road Ahead The Dusk Foundation recently launched its mainnet, “Horizon,” and has partnerships with European financial institutions for RWA pilot projects. The roadmap highlights the upcoming launch of “Dusk Capital,” a suite of native confidential DeFi applications. Conclusion: A Necessary Innovation In an era of increasing financial surveillance, Dusk Coin presents a compelling proposition. It moves beyond the privacy debate of the past, offering a sophisticated toolkit for a future where privacy and regulated finance can coexist on a public blockchain. Whether it becomes the standard for confidential finance depends on execution, adoption, and the evolving regulatory landscape. One thing is clear: Dusk Coin is illuminating a path few projects have dared to take. #dusk @Dusk_Foundation
