Get to know $DUSK

Basics
✅ L1 blockchain using #ZKPs for privacy and compliance for #RWAs
✅ Partnered with NPEX stock exchange in The Netherlands to natively issue - not just tokenize - regulated assets
✅ One of the most active development teams

Use cases
Natively issue regulated assets on-chain resulting in:
🤝 Instant settlement (not days)
🤝 No more fragmented liquidity
🤝 Reduced barriers to entry for investors
🤝 Reduced costs and complications

Why this matters
⭐️For users, finance is complicated to access and excludes investors

⭐️ For institutions, their operating costs are expensive, slow, and complicated.

⭐️ For blockchain protocols, they need a compliant chain to host their dApp.

Dusk makes it fast, elegant, and easy.

Please find the instructions to upgrade here: https://t.co/lcVBL8O7cR

If you don't have a node yet, here are the instructions to get started: https://t.co/eGzlfEasnp

This new version of our network:
Fixes the issues we've seen with the mempool and it makes the network a lot faster when running with a large number of smart contracts.

We will give the community a larger portion of the stake (which will continue to grow).

We are increasing the amount of funds people get from the faucet.

This update also comes with a version of Rusk Wallet that fixes a number of issues that the community reported.

Important: The network will do a coordinated start at 8AM UTC tomorrow Friday 11th, so you have until then to upgrade.
