Looking at the entire market, most projects are still playing the old tricks of speed, throughput, and hype. But the real financial world doesn’t operate that way.

Dusk gives me a different feeling. It’s not about racing to be the fastest or hottest, but about whether the rules are clear and whether the system can run sustainably in the long term. This pragmatic attitude is indeed a bit eye-catching in the crypto circle.

Just look at its product layout to understand. DuskEVM’s modular architecture is quite clever—it allows developers to seamlessly integrate privacy and compliance capabilities without changing their habits, avoiding a complete overhaul. DuskTrade is more straightforward, directly targeting regulated real assets and securities markets.

In the short term, these directions may not be sexy and lack hype potential. But once regulatory frameworks are established and RWA truly scales up, these projects that have laid out early will form natural competitive barriers, making it difficult for others to copy.

Honestly, the growth potential of DUSK doesn’t come from hype or a black swan event, but from the rigid demand that will emerge once the industry matures. The market will eventually learn to distinguish between two types of chains—one that is technically usable and one that is truly daring to be used. The former relies on marketing, the latter on strength. When this differentiation begins to occur, projects like Dusk will be re-evaluated by the market.

In the long run, this is a seriously overlooked opportunity.
