I’m looking at Dusk Network as a blockchain that started with a realistic understanding of finance rather than hype. It was built to support regulated markets where privacy and rules are not optional but required for trust. They’re designing a system where financial activity can happen on chain without exposing sensitive information to everyone while still allowing audits and compliance when it is needed.
The idea behind Dusk is simple but powerful because real finance depends on confidentiality and finality. Institutions and individuals need to know that transactions are private by default and settled with certainty. Dusk approaches this by building privacy into the base layer instead of adding it later.
I’m seeing a modular system where settlement stays stable and application logic can evolve over time. This allows the network to adapt to changing rules and market needs without breaking trust. The purpose is not to replace finance overnight but to create infrastructure that regulated systems can actually use with confidence and clarity.
