I’m seeing Dusk as a blockchain that started with a very real problem. Finance needs privacy to function, but it also needs proof to be trusted. Most systems choose one and ignore the other.
Dusk decided not to. They’re building a Layer 1 designed specifically for regulated financial use cases, compliant DeFi, and tokenized real world assets.
The system is built around strong settlement, meaning once something is finalized it stays final. That matters when real value is involved. On top of that, privacy is handled through cryptographic proofs, so transactions can stay confidential while still being correct and verifiable. I’m not seeing privacy used as an excuse. I’m seeing it treated as protection.
They’re also thinking long term. Identity can be proven without exposing personal data, smart contracts are built for real financial logic, and the network economics are designed for sustainability. This isn’t a chain trying to move fast. It’s a chain trying to be right. And for finance, that difference matters.
