Dusk is designed to support institutional-grade digital assets and regulated financial infrastructure, with its native token $DUSK used for transaction fees and staking across the network, which has a maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 DUSK. Per Messari, the project raised a total of $9.10M across three funding rounds, with the most recent round dated May 2021. Dusk has built out a set of institutional partnerships: it works with Chainlink as an oracle and CCIP partner for cross-chain messaging and data on DuskEVM, and with NPEX as an institutional partner for regulated real-world asset and securities issuance on the network.
Dusk also counts Quantoz as a provider of a regulated EUR stablecoin integrated with the network, Cordial Systems as a digital asset custody and settlement infrastructure partner, and 21X, an EU DLT Pilot Regime-licensed market infrastructure, as a partner for regulated tokenized securities. In January 2026, Dusk disclosed that an attacker had gained unauthorized access to a signing wallet used by its Dusk-to-EVM bridge service, resulting in the theft of DUSK tokens; the project filed a police report and subsequently redesigned the bridge. Dusk's account at @DuskFoundation has published 3,973 posts and has been mentioned by 197 accounts a total of 556 times.
