I’m seeing Dusk as one of the few projects built from financial reality instead of ideology. They’re a layer one blockchain designed for regulated finance where privacy is built in by design. Instead of making everything public and fixing it later Dusk starts with confidentiality and controlled disclosure.
The system separates settlement from execution so the base layer focuses on finality and security while developers can still build using familiar tools. Transactions can stay private while still being provable when rules or audits require it. That balance is critical for institutions funds and real asset issuance.
They’re not trying to remove regulation. They’re trying to encode it into smart contracts so compliance becomes automatic instead of manual. I’m paying attention because this approach feels realistic and long term. It shows how blockchain can fit into real markets instead of fighting them
