When hackers strike, most crypto projects are doomed. Industry insider Mitchell Amador has long seen through this: over 80% of projects that suffer attacks never recover, mainly because the teams have no clear understanding of what they are dealing with. When emergencies arise, project teams are caught off guard, investors panic, funds flee instantly, and the once-trusted project collapses completely.

This is very similar to the chaos in the real-world construction industry. Countless passionate entrepreneurs rush into blockchain, building grand visions with dazzling code, but overlook a harsh truth—the foundation is all tofu. When storms (hacks) hit, the carefully constructed financial empire instantly turns to ruins.

However, in this fragile ecosystem, there are always "outliers." They are not in a rush to grow, raise funds, or boost valuations; instead, they are willing to spend several years diligently building a solid underlying infrastructure. Their primary concern is not "how to grow the fastest," but "how to survive the longest." Dusk Network is such a player—from the very first day of project inception, security and survival have been embedded deep into its code.

Here is a key difference. Many projects treat security as an optional feature, installing security doors and labeling themselves as secure. But DUSK's logic is completely reversed. In its world, security is not an add-on but the backbone of the entire system—reflected in the robustness of the foundation, the resilience of materials, and the meticulous design of every contact point. This is not a feature-level choice but a fundamental architectural decision.

Why does this difference in thinking exist?
