Calling asset migration an "experience upgrade" always feels off to me. For people actually doing it, it's more like moving house — you need to first figure out what you have, decide which route to take, mentally prepare for things to slow down, and stay constantly vigilant against scams.

A series of moves during Dusk mainnet's official launch period have gradually made me understand the entire process as an organized, orderly collective migration.

Let me share my own situation. Many people holding DUSK didn't originally have it in mainnet-native form, but rather as ERC20 or BEP20 tokens. These tokens are common on exchanges and in wallets, and transfers are convenient, but ultimately they're not the source. To participate in staking, run nodes, or eventually connect to more native application ecosystems, there's no getting around the migration step.

Dusk officially released a complete migration and on-chain process, including explanations of the migration contract and mainnet contract mechanisms. Simply put: users lock their original ERC20 or BEP20 tokens, and the system triggers an event to issue equivalent amounts of native DUSK to your designated mainnet address. There's one detail that's particularly critical here — the address and private key. Entering the wrong address isn't just a matter of losing transaction fees; it's the entire asset at stake. In a sense, the first test of migration is making users more careful about address management.

Recently (May 30, 2025), the official announced the launch of a bidirectional cross-chain bridge, meaning liquidity and convenience reached another level.
