My understanding of the DUSK token has become clearer step by step through usage.

Many people think that the role of a two-way bridge is just to push the price up for speculation, but its true significance lies in opening up a common pathway for asset liquidity. With fixed fees, clear waiting periods, and native assets serving as the factual basis for design—these seemingly minor operational details determine whether an ecosystem can be used frequently. Many projects can package "cool concept" cross-chain solutions, but making it into infrastructure that users will repeatedly operate weekly? That’s the real challenge.

When the public beta of DuskEVM launched, this pathway gained a new dimension. Bridging is no longer just about "moving" assets to another chain, but about enabling assets to enter a truly functional execution environment.

DUSK here has a dual identity: it is a transferable token and also plays the role of Gas. This shift is quite crucial—the demand for the token has changed from "buy and hold for appreciation" to "use once and consume once." You don’t need to participate in any grand narrative; as long as you deploy contracts, call contracts, and execute transactions, there will naturally be a real demand for DUSK. This demand won’t immediately crash the price on the market, but it is the true support for long-term value.
