I’ve spent a long time digging into RWA projects, and honestly, most of them hit the same wall.
On the surface everything looks convincing.
The narrative makes sense.
The partnerships sound strong.
But when you look deeper, the infrastructure just isn’t built for real financial usage.
That’s why Dusk stood out to me.
With DuskEVM, the team isn’t trying to force developers into a completely new way of building. Solidity already works. Ethereum tooling already works. Instead of breaking what people are familiar with, Dusk keeps the developer experience intact and focuses on what actually matters for RWAs: settlement.
Execution happens on an EVM-compatible layer, while settlement takes place on Dusk Layer 1, a chain designed from the start for privacy, compliance, and auditability.
That separation matters more than most people realize.
RWA projects rarely fail because of application logic. They fail when settlement becomes fully public. Broadcasting positions, balances, and counterparties to everyone might be fine for open DeFi, but it doesn’t fit regulated assets or institutional capital.
The more I research this space, the clearer one thing becomes. Privacy is not an optional extra. It is a basic requirement. Real markets operate on controlled disclosure, information is shared when legally required, not permanently exposed to the whole world.
Dusk’s approach reflects that reality. Privacy by default. Disclosure by rule. Accountability without unnecessary exposure.
The DuskEVM mainnet launch feels less like just another upgrade and more like a statement. It signals that RWAs need infrastructure that respects both programmability and discretion.
That mix is still rare in crypto.
And that’s exactly why Dusk stands out to me.
