I have seen many Layer 1s promise everything.
Very few choose a clear direction.
Dusk chose regulated privacy first.
Everything else follows from that decision.
With governments, institutions, and enterprises slowly moving toward blockchain adoption, the need for compliant yet private infrastructure will only grow.
Dusk is not trying to replace everything.
It is trying to become the trusted financial layer where rules matter.
In my opinion, that is a smart bet.
This is one of those projects where patience is rewarded, not punished.
And I am genuinely curious to see how far it goes as regulated onchain finance becomes mainstream.
