Total Supply and Distribution
DUSK has a capped total supply, which ensures scarcity over time.Tokens were distributed through a combination of public sales, private funding rounds, team allocations and ecosystem reserves.This structured distribution helps balance the needs of early development with long-term decentralization and community growth.
Utility of the DUSK Token
The $DUSK token is central to the network.It is used to pay transaction fees, participate in governance and access network services. Financial institutions and developers building on Dusk rely on DUSK to create and run privacy-preserving smart contracts.
Staking and Network Security
Dusk Network uses a Proof-of-Stake based consensus mechanism.Token holders can stake DUSK to help secure the network and validate transactions.In return stakers earn rewards which creates an incentive to hold and engage instead of just speculating in the short term. 
Incentives and Long-Term Sustainability
Token emissions and staking rewards are set to gradually decrease.This encourages early participation while maintaining long-term economic stability.This approach aligns incentives among users, validators and developers supporting sustainable network growth.
