The current crypto market is undergoing a subtle shift — from a pure speculative frenzy to a competition focused on real yields. Institutional funds are pouring in continuously, and bringing real-world assets onto the blockchain has become an inevitable trend. However, when traditional finance embraces blockchain, it faces two major hurdles: compliance review and privacy protection. These are the tough bones that some project teams have been long struggling to chew.

Regarding the technical approach, Dusk has taken a different path. Unlike other general-purpose public chains, its foundational design revolves around regulated financial assets. Especially notable is the Piecrust VM virtual machine solution, which, based on zero-knowledge proofs, can both hide transaction details and mathematically prove to regulators that everything is legal and compliant. Ethereum and other mainstream public chains have yet to find a more elegant solution to balance these two aspects. No wonder institutional investors are particularly interested in such underlying infrastructure.

Looking at the token economy, DUSK is not just a tool for paying transaction fees within the ecosystem but also serves as the anchor for the entire network consensus. Through a segmented Byzantine consensus mechanism, token holders can directly participate in network governance, operate validation nodes, and share in the benefits of network growth. As RWA assets in the ecosystem continue to increase, the attractiveness of this economic model naturally rises as well.
