> **Visual Note:** The image shows a handwritten note titled with two columns—"Data shows" and "Possible meaning"—laying out observations from Dusk's August 16 bridge incident (such as the team wallet being flagged, the incident being labeled "not a DuskDS protocol issue," the bridge being paused pending security review, and the lack of independent on-chain confirmation of "no funds affected"), alongside interpretations that containment was manual rather than protocol-enforced, bridge operations sit outside the core settlement layer, no automatic failsafe triggered the halt, and the safety claim rests solely on the team's own statement. It visually summarizes the post's argument that the incident reveals how DuskDS, DuskVM, and DuskEVM are separated in practice, not just on paper.

> "Dusk's bridge incident from last week is actually a decent window into how DuskDS, DuskVM and DuskEVM are separated in practice, not just on paper.

RSI is near 60 which shows bullish momentum is building but it is not yet in an overbought zone.

Putting assets onchain matters but rebuilding issuance, compliance, disclosure & settlement fully onchain matters more.

Its nullifier system lets the network know a note was spent without revealing which note.
