When I look at Dusk today, I think about how the system actually moves value. At the base, there is a settlement layer that focuses on security and final results. This part is designed to stay reliable, which matters a lot for regulated flows. On top of that, there’s an execution layer where smart contracts run, so builders can create financial apps without learning something totally new. Privacy is part of the flow, not something added later. Transactions can stay hidden from the public, but they can still be proven valid if needed. Staking secures the network and keeps validators honest. I’m walking through this today and it feels like a system built for long term use, not short term trends. They’re thinking about how real finance behaves, and that shows in the design.
