The Dusk Foundation is addressing an issue that most traditional blockchains cannot address. Specifically, fully transparent blockchain solutions may create an uncomfortable atmosphere for many businesses and institutions, while fully private solutions will not be viewed favourably by regulators. Dusk seeks to find the right balance between these two extremes, allowing businesses and institutions to conduct their financial business privately yet still be proven when required. The good news is that Dusk's approach complements the current state of traditional finance and will assist with the creation of new asset classes, such as tokenisation. However, the challenge is the slow pace at which traditional institutions move and operate, along with sizeable amounts of verification and evidentiary requirements prior to adoption. Therefore, there is a risk that the time between now and widespread adoption may extend longer than anticipated. However, if Externally managed finance via a regulated on-chain evolution continues to drive the growth of on-chain finance, Dusk will likely play a greater role in the future.
