Dusk's recently launched Hyperstaking technology centers around one core innovation: staking abstraction. It may sound a bit complex, but in reality, it solves an old problem—traditional staking is too cumbersome.

Compared to the Ethereum system, where users need to run nodes themselves, understand technical details, and manually manage cycles, the barrier to entry is quite high. Hyperstaking flips this approach: let smart contracts do the work. Imagine you just need to click one button, and the contract automatically completes the entire process of staking, interest calculation, and reward collection—you don't have to worry about anything, and the earnings still flow in. This is a true liberation for ordinary users—making the experience feel like "earning passively."

What's even more impressive is that this mechanism opens up new possibilities for developers. Based on Hyperstaking, they can build liquid staking products, design referral reward mechanisms, or even launch customized solutions like staking-as-a-service. In other words, the application scenarios for $DUSK are suddenly richer, and the ecosystem's vitality is also enhanced.

The recently launched Sozu delegated staking feature takes convenience a step further. Users delegate DUSK to compliant nodes—no extra steps needed—and continue earning rewards while also contributing to network security. The interesting part of this model is that it finds a balance: it solves the technical challenges of running personal nodes while ensuring network resistance to censorship through distributed nodes. For institutional users, automated staking management means they can efficiently handle large-scale assets, often at lower costs.

From an ecosystem perspective, the value of Hyperstaking goes far beyond "cheap staking." Managing staking via smart contracts directly releases DUSK's liquidity—users can participate in staking to earn yields and simultaneously use the same assets in other scenarios through liquidity derivatives. The feeling of "one asset, multiple yields" is thus realized. Additionally, the referral reward mechanism encourages users to invite more people, driving up staking rates and expanding the ecosystem. As staking scales up, the network's security and decentralization also strengthen, attracting more institutional-grade applications—a virtuous cycle is formed.
