Who moved my steering wheel?
While I was stationed at the logistics park, I met truck driver Lao Liu. He had just completed a long haul, and his eyes were bloodshot. Lao Liu complained to me that it's now too difficult to drive trucks; not only are the freight rates low, but more importantly, he is trapped by the platform's algorithm. The platform has control over all his driving data, order habits, and frequently traveled routes, and then uses this data to exploit him, sending him orders with increasingly lower prices.
I've been driving for ten years, and this steering wheel is in my hands, but how did this data become the chain that binds me? Lao Liu's plain words reveal the truth of data hegemony.
This is the tragedy of the Web2 era, where data producers have become slaves to data. And this is precisely where Dusk Network can shine. The underlying logic of Dusk is to return data to the users. Just imagine, if future logistics platforms are built on Dusk: Lao Liu's driving data would be a high-value RWA stored in his own encrypted wallet, rather than on the platform's servers.
When insurance companies want to set Lao Liu's car insurance rate, he can generate a safe driving certificate through the Citadel protocol at @Dusk . It proves that I have had no accidents in the past year and my average speed is stable. The insurance company verifies this certificate, gives Lao Liu a discount, but they can't access Lao Liu's specific travel trajectory. When freight owners want to find reliable drivers, Lao Liu can present his on-time delivery certificate to directly receive high-priced orders, without the platform taking a cut from the data difference.
In this system, $DUSK is not just a gas fee; it is Lao Liu's weapon to reclaim his data rights. Technology should empower workers with more dignity, not make them more passive. Looking at Lao Liu's tired sleeping face, I sincerely hope that Dusk's technology can soon be popularized in the logistics industry, allowing every person holding a steering wheel to grasp their own destiny. This is how Web3 should be; this is technology with a human touch.
