Definitely not
HR approved.
The Dusk Intern is an independent community experiment built around Dusk, part staking operation, part developer playground and part questionable decision-making.
It started with participating in the network. Somewhere along the way the Intern started building tokens, distribution tools, on-chain price feeds and whatever else seemed useful at the time.
So what is this?
A small independent project participating in the Dusk ecosystem while experimenting with infrastructure, tokens and developer tools.
Build
Small tools and experiments around Dusk and DuskEVM. If something is annoying enough to do manually, the Intern may eventually build something for it.
Participate
The Intern participates in the ecosystem through DUSK staking, Sozu liquid staking and other experiments rather than only watching from the sidelines.
Show the receipts
Relevant accounts, contracts, token allocations and data sources are published through the Transparency section wherever practical.
Why "The
Dusk Intern"?
Every serious organization needs an intern.
And in the Dusk ecosystem, being the intern apparently isn't the worst career strategy, one rather famous Dusk intern eventually made it all the way to CTO.
The Intern identity is mostly an excuse to experiment, learn in public, build things that seem useful and occasionally ship something nobody asked for.
Career progression remains under review.
Independent by design.
Community participation and experimentation are more fun when everybody understands what they're looking at.
This is
This isn't
The Intern's desk is getting crowded.
What started as participation in Dusk now spans staking, tokens, liquidity and developer utilities.
Provisioner
Native DUSK staking and network participation.
Sozu / stDUSK
Liquid staking exposure through Sozu.
TDI
The Dusk Intern experimental ERC-20 token.
Intern Drop
Bulk ERC-20 distribution tooling.
Dusk Dual Price
On-chain DUSK/USD and DUSK/EUR price references.
PieSwap Liquidity
DUSK / TDI liquidity and on-chain pool experiments.
You can also tip the Intern.
If the tools, experiments or infrastructure have been useful to you, there's an entirely optional DUSK tip jar. Tips go directly to the Intern's mainnet account using the Dusk Wallet.
No TDI, service, reward, right, benefit or expectation of return is provided in exchange.
Still suspicious? Good.
Don't trust the About page. Check the accounts, contracts, token references and data sources yourself.
Please don't make the Intern call Legal.
Experiments are fun. Ambiguous disclaimers are less so. Here's the part where the Intern attempts to behave responsibly.
The Dusk Intern is an independent community project. It is not Dusk Foundation, Dusk Network or an official Dusk product, service or communication channel.

TDI, Intern Drop, Dusk Dual Price and related DuskEVM experiments currently operate on testnet unless explicitly stated otherwise. Testnet tokens should not be assumed to have monetary value.

Do your own research. The Intern certainly did some.
Enough about the Intern.
There are probably more productive parts of the website you could be looking at.
