After browsing through hundreds of pages of GitHub code and Economic Protocol documents, I found that the market severely underestimated its technological ambitions. Everyone only knows it as a leader in RWA, but has overlooked an Easter egg it has buried in its underlying consensus—blind bidding.
This feature may make Dusk the only refuge for financial giants in 2026.
[Your trading is being live-streamed across the network]
You buy a coin on Ethereum, and before the transaction is confirmed, MEV bots have already detected it. They will buy in first with a higher gas fee, driving up the price, and then sell it to you. This is the infamous "sandwich attack."
For retail investors, this may just be slippage; but for the €300 million securities assets to be on-chain, this is an unacceptable 'robbery.' If you are a market maker, would you dare to place orders on a chain filled with sniping bots?
[Dusk's 'Cloak of Invisibility']
This has been resolved in the Dusk documentation.
Unlike the 'public bidding' of traditional public chains, Dusk's consensus mechanism reveals the block proposer’s identity only at the last moment, and transaction content is encrypted through zero-knowledge proofs.
This means:
Bots cannot see your transaction content (unable to snipe you).
Bots cannot find the block-producing nodes (unable to bribe).
This is the biggest surprise I read in the documentation: Dusk is building the first native 'Dark Pool' of Web3.
Here, not only is identity privacy protected, but trading profits (Alpha) are also safeguarded.
[Dimensionality Reduction Strike of the Economic Protocol]
Moreover, Dusk's economic protocol allows developers to directly encapsulate this 'anti-sniping' feature into smart contracts.
Decentralized exchanges (DEX) built on Dusk in the future will inherently possess the attributes of 'anti-front-running and anti-slippage.' This is an incredibly attractive feature for high-frequency quantitative institutions.
Summary:
The story of RWA is compelling, but 'not being harvested by bots' is the underlying logic that institutions are willing to pay for.
While others are still managing MEV, Dusk has eliminated MEV from a physical standpoint.
This technological gap is my strong foundation for holding.
