This kind of development makes me think that i have bet even if they somehow were f*ed with those huge partnerships they have hinted about or they lose the sto race, securities aren't the only application that dusk can be used for. There are huge implications for this kind of tech ready to be explored. Just think of what kind of projects could one Dusk hackhaton sprout...
We are far from 'f*ed' when it comes to the partnerships. They're all very much alive and kicking, we're just finalizing a couple of things before they're made public. As for the 'STO race' I personally think we are well ahead of everyone else.
