It took some time to explore Dusk, and the most impressive thing is—this is not following a narrative trend, but truly building a chain "with a financial person's mindset."

Compared to projects in the community that are keen on creating concepts, Dusk has regarded compliance and privacy audits as the foundational infrastructure from day one, not as patches after the fact. DuskTrade is about to launch, and cooperation with the regulated exchange NPEX is also progressing. It may seem insignificant, but in fact, it is paving the way for real securities to be on-chain. When real assets worth over €300M are on the chain, the usual DeFi approach will no longer be sufficient.

On the technical side, it’s also interesting. DuskEVM is compatible with Solidity, meaning existing Ethereum developers and ecosystem projects can migrate seamlessly without additional learning costs or redevelopment hassle. This is no small feat for the cold start of an L1 ecosystem.

From an asset perspective, DUSK is more like a "financial infrastructure" type—short-term, it may not be as hot as those tokens that create buzz every day, but when the window opens for large-scale institutional entry and compliance demands explode, this type of project will stand out for its scarcity.
