For any public blockchain, the developer ecosystem is the key to its survival and success. Dusk has made a bold yet correct decision in this regard: fully embracing the Rust programming language. While Solidity has a large existing developer base, Rust's advantages in security, performance, and memory management make it the preferred language for building high-value financial applications. The rise of Solana and Near has already demonstrated the explosive potential of the Rust ecosystem. @DuskFoundation provides developers with a powerful ZK toolkit, enabling even those without a deep background in cryptography to utilize the capabilities of the Piecrust virtual machine and develop DApps with privacy-preserving features. These efforts to lower the entry barrier will bring a wealth of innovative financial applications to the ecosystem. When evaluating the potential of $DUSK, we should not only look at the current token price, but also at the number of code commits on GitHub and the completeness of developer documentation. With a solid technical foundation, a thriving ecosystem is just a matter of time. #Dusk
