Recently revisited the project setup of Dusk Foundation, and the more I research, the more interesting it becomes. To be honest, most Layer1s now are competing over who has higher TPS and better performance metrics, but Dusk has had a different approach from the start — they focus directly on financial applications, especially RWA and compliance privacy.

The design logic of DuskEVM is quite clever. On one hand, it maintains compatibility with the existing EVM ecosystem through modularization, so as not to fragment developer resources; on the other hand, it supports auditable private transactions at the foundational level, which is technically quite challenging. In other words, most public chains simply can't achieve both openness and auditable privacy levels.

From an ecosystem development perspective, the $DUSK token carries significant weight. It's not just about price expectations; it's more about verifying whether a compliant financial network can truly get off the ground. Once more regulated assets start to go on-chain, infrastructure projects like Dusk might be reevaluated by the market at a certain point.

So right now, I am continuously monitoring Dusk's technological iterations; short-term price fluctuations are becoming less important.
