Looking at DUSK's on-chain data, it indeed can be a bit confusing. A public chain that has already entered the forefront of the privacy/compliance track in terms of market capitalization, yet its daily active addresses on the mainnet have long been stuck at a few thousand. When compared to leading public chains with hundreds of thousands of addresses, the gap is really striking.

But thinking about this from another angle, it might actually highlight the core issue. DUSK was never designed to attract retail traffic from the start. Its positioning is very clear—enterprise-level, low-frequency, high-net-worth application scenarios. Although it has fewer active addresses, the average transaction size of these addresses is likely far beyond your imagination.

A common misconception is to evaluate DUSK using the general standards for public chains, taking "number of addresses" as the sole indicator of success. For B2B chains, this logic is completely reversed. A small number of high-value institutional users can reflect a chain's true value much more effectively than a vast number of low-frequency retail users. Less is more—focus, choice, and strategy.
