Want to do high-frequency spam and MEME hype? Then Dusk might not be your cup of tea.
The seemingly enticing zero-copy memory technology indeed speeds up the execution efficiency of the Piecrust virtual machine, but the problem is—this chain's economic model is fundamentally designed around "paying for compliance verification." Every transaction you make incurs the costs of generating and verifying zero-knowledge proofs, which is a waste of resources for simple speculative transfers.
Why is it designed this way? Because Dusk's instant finality is primarily intended to provide legal certainty for complex financial instruments, satisfying regulatory self-certification requirements. If your business logic doesn't involve "proving compliance to regulators," forcing Dusk into your system only adds unnecessary overhead.
So the core issue is simple: choosing the wrong chain means choosing the wrong cost structure.

Basically, it's prepared for major compliant players; retail investors playing with this are just the big fools.

Honestly, this chain is really not meant for playing MEME
There's really no need to pay the price just for compliance

It seems that Dusk really doesn't play the game of cutting leeks, it's quite interesting.
Chains that focus on compliance are ultimately serving institutions; it's hard for us retail investors to get involved.
Basically, when choosing a chain, you need to think clearly about what you really want to do, and not just follow the trend blindly.
I understand Dusk's design logic, but the problem is, if this continues, will even the project teams run away?
Zero-knowledge proofs sound impressive, but in practice, they just burn money. Forget it.
With such high compliance costs, no wonder no one is playing.
This chain's positioning is quite awkward—it can't meet the requirements of compliant institutions, yet it's too expensive for retail investors to afford.

Basically, this chain isn't suitable for players like us, as the compliance taxes are too heavy.

Basically, it's a chain designed for compliance parties, and retail investors can only be exploited.

Plainly put, it's just paying for compliance, and retail investors playing this is just getting fleeced.

To be honest, Dusk's design is tailor-made for institutions and compliant projects; retail investors are just there to be taken advantage of.

To be honest, Dusk's approach is really designed for institutions. Retail investors coming here are just asking for trouble.
