2019 Sandbox Mainnet | Start Partner Integration & 2020 GoalsClick the title to read the full announcement!
 We look back on our most notable achievements of 2019 and provide a glance at what 2020 has in store.With the Sandbox Mainnet, partners get accustomed to our technology, and by gradually rolling out more features they can adapt to the new infrastructure.
Next steps include the token swap, and opening up the sandbox to the public. Finally, the launch of the trading venue completes the system and adds a secondary market for issued securities.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank you all for your engagement and continuous support over the past year, and we wish you all a wonderful New Year!

Dusk Network | Running the CLI Wallet in our Staging EnvironmentClick the title to read the full announcement!
 In this article we provide information on our CLI wallet, what it is used for, and recent upgrades.The Dusk CLI Wallet operates like a full node in our staging environment and can be used to join consensus as a block generator and provisioner, to receive, stake, and transfer test tokens, and to view balances and addresses.
To simplify access to our staging environment, we introduced easy-to-use buttons that help early testers with wallet interactions.
Alongside the wallet, we also released version 0.2 of our network node that specializes in minimizing possible errors, improving performance and stability, and streamlining the user experience.

Release of Kelvin - Dusk Network's Merkle-Tree toolkit, Library and BackendClick the title to read the full announcement!
 In this release we share why we created Kelvin, what's unique about it and what it means for Dusk Network.Kelvin is created by Dusk Network, and has been an indispensable tool for modeling truly blockchain-optimized data-structures that are used by the transaction model and the smart contract engine.
Furthermore, Kelvin reduces the overhead caused by popular database structures that are designed for mutable data (as opposed to immutable!)
Check-out Github for Kelvin Code & Technical documentation

Do you mean that mainnet will be launched in this year? Are you going to have token swap with mainnet or when tokens will be swapped to native coins?
Hi Gembira, we will launch a 'sandbox' mainnet this year which is crucial for the integration of our partners. A tokenswap will happen at a later stage. |

Key takeaways trade mission Singapore
- (1.) Value creation is the driving force behind adoption of new technologies.
- (2.) We adopt the 'eat your own dog food' strategy, becoming an integrator of Dusk Network ourselves.
- (3.) There is a clear path for Dusk Network in both the EU an APAC region.

We have already applied to have them change it to the correct circulating supply. |

End of Distribution Announcement!Click the title to read the full announcement!
 Private sale vesting has come to an end. Token circulation and metrics links updated, and 2018–2019 token spend confirmed.November 30th, 2018 we successfully closed our private sale. Now, a year later, our novel second-by-second vesting set-up has fully concluded. During this period our team has grown and worked tirelessly to bring Dusk Network from DevNet to the advanced technology that it is today.
At Dusk Network we have always strived to lead the space, and this includes taking corporate responsibility and being as transparent as is commercially viable. On top of our frequent communications around fin/dev/biz we have created a new page where information on Dusk Network's Token Metrics is aggregated.
The page provides insights into the reserve budgets (a visualization of the data of our earlier token stats blog) and shows the amount of tokens that are vested (theoretically unlocked). The actual spend for all budgets is a lot lower, or none. Please consult metrics.dusk.network for aggregated information on token metrics, and supply.dusk.network for the actual circulating supply.

This kind of development makes me think that i have bet even if they somehow were f*ed with those huge partnerships they have hinted about or they lose the sto race, securities aren't the only application that dusk can be used for. There are huge implications for this kind of tech ready to be explored. Just think of what kind of projects could one Dusk hackhaton sprout... We are far from 'f*ed' when it comes to the partnerships. They're all very much alive and kicking, we're just finalizing a couple of things before they're made public. As for the 'STO race' I personally think we are well ahead of everyone else. |

Have i understood correctly that you are basically pitching Dusk to them against the solutions of New Alchemy and Europechain (that i assume that are making private blockchains)? Or do you even see them as a competition? Now i know that you are maybe mainly invited just to talk as a tech expert, but i am hoping that you will be injecting sales pitch to it. We do whatever is needed for Dusk, being part of 2tokens definitely helps put items that are relevant for Dusk on the agenda. New Alchemy is a very large tech provider. We don't see them as competition, but rather as a great industry partner. Europechain focuses on different fields so we don't see them as competition either. |

 Part II in a new series discussing the challenges and the design choices that represent the backbone of the Dusk Network protocol.Discussing Dusk Network's approach to transaction-related (gas) costs.
Any conceivable system can only allocate a finite amount of resources leading to natural scarcity when the demand exceeds the theoretical maximum supply on offer. A game theoretically-sound incentive-based distributed system also defines artificial scarcity, which either acts as a deterrent to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks or as an incentivization mechanism for honest (participants, adhering to the predefined protocol rules) protocol participants (or both).
