In real finance, settlement finality is not a nice feature. It is a legal necessity. Once a transaction settles, it must be final and irreversible. Many blockchains rely on probabilistic finality, where reorgs are rare but possible. That uncertainty is unacceptable for regulated markets.
@Dusk is designed around deterministic settlement. Its consensus mechanism emphasizes clear boundaries between pending and final states. Once a transaction is finalized, it cannot be quietly rewritten. This reduces counterparty risk and operational uncertainty. For institutions handling equities, bonds, or funds, this clarity is critical. #Dusk is not optimized for hype metrics like raw throughput alone. It is optimized for certainty. That focus aligns more closely with how financial infrastructure actually operates under regulation.
