When it comes to moving real assets onto the blockchain, to be honest: current projects in the market are either using concepts as a smokescreen, fooling people with a renamed crypto system; or they keep talking about "compliance," only to be brought back to reality by regulatory inquiries. Dusk, on the other hand, takes a different approach — it stitches privacy and compliance, two seemingly opposing concepts, together tightly. From protocol to application layer, everything revolves around this core, targeting institutions that truly have assets to bring on-chain. Today, let's break it down and discuss in detail what makes Dusk's approach good, and what areas are worth paying close attention to.

First, a point to clarify upfront: Dusk is not a flashy marketing chain designed to grab eyeballs, nor is it a project confined to laboratory demonstrations. Instead, it is genuinely pushing into traditional financial institutions with real effort. It clearly understands what regulators care about, what auditors value, and how institutions can operate with confidence. It then locks all these requirements into the chain logic through technical means. Since the mainnet launched on January 7, 2025, the project has completed its first round of market stress testing. The current stage of implementation shows that it is capable of onboarding more regulated assets onto the chain. In the broader Web3 ecosystem, this progress can indeed be considered solid.

So here’s the question — why is it so difficult for institutions to bring assets on-chain? Essentially, it boils down to two issues that cannot be bypassed or avoided. The first is privacy: if you expose transaction counterparties, transaction sizes, and business logic on a public chain, competitors can quickly figure out your secrets. Not to mention whether you can make a profit, even your business layout will be exposed. For traditional financial institutions, this is no different from self-sabotage.
