The XSC 2.0 Standard and the Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA)
Beyond ERC-20
@Dusk has developed the Confidential Security Contract (XSC) standard to support the issuance of securities. Unlike standard tokens, XSCs are designed to represent shares, bonds, and other regulated instruments.
Technical Features of the XSC
Native Governance: Allows private voting and anonymous dividend distribution.
Transfer Restrictions: Compliance with securities regulations is verified on-chain via ZKPs, eliminating the need for intermediaries to manually approve each trade.
SBA Consensus: Immediate Finality and Pooling Resistance
Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA)
In financial markets, the "finality probability" of Bitcoin (waiting for 6 blocks) is unacceptable. @Dusk uses SBA consensus, which combines Proof-of-Stake with a random selection of nodes through cryptographic sortition.
Security Mechanism
SBA introduces the concept of Attestation Succincta. Validators are chosen blindly and anonymously, preventing external attackers from identifying block proposers before consensus occurs. Additionally, it ensures immediate finality of settlement: once a block is added, the transaction is irreversible. This is crucial for digital asset settlement, where the risk of "fork" must be zero.
Citadel: Sovereign Identity in a MiCA-Regulated World
The Dilemma of Decentralized KYC
One of the biggest barriers to institutional adoption is the friction of KYC (Know Your Customer). @Dusk addresses this through Citadel, an identity protocol that uses ZKPs to allow a user to prove identity attributes without revealing the underlying document.
Empirical Implementation
Citadel enables what we call "one-time verification." A user gets verified by an authorized identity provider and receives a cryptographic proof. From that point on, they can interact with multiple protocols on Dusk by demonstrating they are "fit to operate" or "legal residents," without their name or address being recorded on the blockchain. This is not only user-friendly but also strictly complies with GDPR and frameworks like MiCA, protecting the citizen's right to privacy against the need for supervision.
@Dusk Foundation has not only created a technological tool, but a new category of financial infrastructure where privacy is a fundamental right and regulatory compliance is the guarantee of its long-term viability
The architecture of @Dusk is a direct response to the limitations of traditional finance, where bureaucracy slows the flow of capital; here, the law is encoded in the protocol and enforced autonomously and privately.
Empirically, @Dusk demonstrates that moving validation to zero-knowledge proofs eliminates the need for human intermediaries in compliance verification, reducing operational costs and errors in executing smart contracts.
The scientific curiosity surrounding @Dusk arises from its ability to balance two opposing forces: the freedom of financial anonymity and the necessary order of state regulation, achieving a harmonious synthesis through cryptography.
In @Dusk The use of notes in Phoenix allows the state of the blockchain to be a collection of cryptographic commitments, where ownership of assets is provable only by those who possess the private keys and the corresponding validity proofs.
Artificial Intelligence requires reliable and verifiable data. @Walrus 🦭/acc provides the necessary availability layer to train models and verify results on-chain. It is the perfect foundation for autonomous agents of the future. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
Thanks to smart contracts in #Move, storage in @Walrus 🦭/acc stops being static. Developers can automate complex data flows, turning infrastructure into an interactive and fluid ecosystem. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
The "Red Stuff" algorithm is the heart ❤️ of @Walrus 🦭/acc . It uses two-dimensional erasure coding to fragment data. Ensures full availability even in the face of massive node failures, optimizing costs without sacrificing security. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
Current blockchains struggle to store large amounts of data. @Walrus 🦭/acc solves this bottleneck with extreme efficiency. We no longer rely on centralized clouds; now storage is sovereign, fast, and fully decentralized. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
Tired of slow storage in Web3? @Walrus 🦭/acc redefines data persistence. Its integrated architecture in @Sui allows large files to become dynamic and programmable resources. It's the necessary evolution for global-scale dApps. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
The Architecture of Persistence (Walrus Deep Dive)
- PART 2
2. The Innovation of Red Stuff: Beyond Reed-Solomon Most Web3 protocols use variations of Reed-Solomon encoding, where a file is split into $n$ fragments and $k$ fragments are needed to recover it. @Walrus 🦭/acc takes this concept to a two-dimensional matrix structure.
In Red Stuff, data does not align in a single sequence. It is organized in rows and columns. Each Walrus network node is not a "mirror" of the entire file, but a guardian of a specific intersection (a sliver).

Geometry of Resilience: An Analysis of the Red Stuff Algorithm and 2D Erasure Coding
This article examines the paradigmatic transition from one-dimensional erasure coding (Erasure Coding 1D) to the two-dimensional model implemented by @Walrus 🦭/acc Protocol, dubbed "Red Stuff." Through an empirical analysis based on mainnet performance data from 2026, it demonstrates how the matrix-based fragmentation topology optimizes bandwidth and ensures the availability of large binary objects (blobs) with a disruptively low replication factor.
Well, let's be honest: blockchains so far have been great for moving tokens, but terrible at remembering things. They're like mathematical geniuses with amnesia. If you try to upload something heavier than a PDF, the network collapses or it costs you an arm and a leg. @Walrus 🦭/acc Protocol is the patch we needed. It's not another decentralized Dropbox clone; it's a Programmable Storage layer running on @Sui .
The magic? It's called Red Stuff.
It's an algorithm that fragments data in such a smart way that even if half the world goes offline, your files remain intact and load at lightning speed. Plus, the token $WAL isn't just for speculation; it's the engine that penalizes lazy nodes (slashing) and rewards those keeping the network alive. In the midst of 2026, if we want sovereign AI and dApps that don't rely on Jeff Bezos turning off a server, Walrus is the only infrastructure that can keep up with the pace. 🚀
The future of decentralized infrastructure has a name, and it is @Walrus 🦭/acc . We are witnessing the birth of a more robust, efficient, and transparent internet. It's time to explore what $WAL is building right now.
@Walrus 🦭/acc Al eliminating the dependency on centralized servers, we regain digital sovereignty. Your data no longer belongs to a large technology corporation, but lives in a distributed, encrypted, immutable, and always available network for you.
The scalability of @Walrus 🦭/acc allows next-generation dApps, from social networks to AAA games, to function seamlessly. It is, literally, the persistent RAM that Web3 needed to scale into the real world.
In the era of Artificial Intelligence, @Walrus 🦭/acc becomes indispensable. Offers the necessary space to train decentralized AI models, where data authenticity and provenance are as important as code.
