Why Dusk Does Not Compete on Speed
Speed dominates most blockchain comparisons. Higher throughput, lower latency, faster blocks. These metrics matter for retail usage, but they are rarely decisive in regulated finance.
Dusk does not compete in that race.
Institutions care about predictability more than raw performance. A transaction that settles quickly but cannot be audited, justified, or reversed through legal process is not useful for real financial activity.
Dusk prioritizes controlled execution over speed. Its architecture is designed to support selective disclosure, compliance, and deterministic behavior. These properties are far more important for tokenized securities than headline performance numbers.
Regulated markets already operate at deliberate speeds. What they require is infrastructure that behaves consistently under scrutiny. Dusk reflects that reality.
This design choice explains why Dusk can appear understated during speculative cycles. It does not optimize for metrics that excite retail traders. It optimizes for conditions institutions actually operate under.
Speed attracts attention.
Reliability attracts adoption.
Dusk is built for the second outcome.
