> **Visual Context:** The image is a slide titled "Dusk Network Ecosystem Analysis: Data & Analysis," breaking down four data points and their interpretations—highlighting that the DuskEVM testnet (live as of Aug 10) uses DUSK for gas with no separate token, staking APR has declined from ~27% (Nov 2025 claim) to 22.31%, ~1.6M DUSK is locked across 206 active provisioners, and stake pool growth is outpacing reward emissions despite stable validator participation.

> "DUSK Token Utility: Gas and Staking Explained

Specific finding that stood out: even with DuskEVM testnet now live (confirmed Aug 10 via Dusk Foundation's announcement) giving developers a full Solidity/Hardhat environment, there's no separate gas token for that execution layer"
