Earlier, we outlined Dusk's vision, market, and key applications. Today, we delve into its core, analyzing the "engine" (consensus mechanism) and "fuel" (economic model) that drive the entire network, and how they together construct Dusk's unique intrinsic value proposition.

1. Consensus mechanism: Not just for speed, but for privacy (SBA protocol)

Dusk has not adopted the common PoW or standard PoS, but has independently developed the "Separating Byzantine Agreement (SBA)". Its brilliance lies in "role separation":

1. Block generators: They anonymously stake DUSK through a "blind bidding" method to compete for block rights, protecting the privacy of proposers' identities.

2. Block voters: Responsible for verification and final confirmation, ensuring safety.

This separation design ensures that the consensus process itself considers efficiency (immediate finality), security, and privacy from the bottom up, laying a solid foundation for upper-level financial applications.

2. Economic model: Build a value closed loop of 'use means burn'

The core of DUSK's economic design is to make it a necessary consumable production material, rather than just a speculative asset.

1. Gas fuel: On DuskEVM, all transactions and contract interactions require burning DUSK as Gas. This means that the more active the ecology is, the greater the continuous consumption of DUSK.

2. Staking and security: Participating in network maintenance (such as becoming a producer or delegator) requires staking DUSK. Currently, the total staking amount on the network has exceeded 200 million, and the high staking rate has reduced circulation, enhanced network security, and provided stable returns for participants.

3. Bidirectional circulation: Tokens are injected into the market through block rewards (inflation) and are continuously destroyed through Gas burning (deflation). The ideal future state is that the burning rate brought by ecological use exceeds the inflation rate, thereby driving value into a deflationary rising cycle.

3. The intrinsic support logic of the price$DUSK

This design deeply binds the price of DUSK to network utility:

· Short-term view of staking: High staking locks up a large amount of liquidity, which may provide support for market prices.

· Long-term view of burning: The real value engine lies in large-scale, high-frequency on-chain transactions brought by applications like DuskTrade. Each transfer of institutional-grade RWA assets will directly translate into fuel demand for DUSK.

In summary, Dusk ensures the reliability and compliance privacy characteristics of the network through the technical SBA mechanism, and attempts to anchor the token value above the actual productivity of the ecology through the economic fuel model. Whether this combination can succeed hinges on the upcoming DuskTrade platform, which must truly ignite the 'burning' engine. Tomorrow, we will turn our gaze to a broader battlefield to see where Dusk stands in fierce industry competition.#dusk @Dusk
