Blockchain has experienced multiple cycles of boom and bust, but one question has always lingered in the minds of industry practitioners—what is missing in existing public chains to support hundreds of trillions of dollars in global financial assets?

The most common answer in the industry is performance bottlenecks. But Dusk offers a different approach. This Layer-1 project does not aim for the ultimate TPS, but instead focuses on two severely underestimated dimensions: privacy and native compliance.

From a technical stack perspective, Dusk adopts the PlonKup zero-knowledge proof algorithm and its self-developed Piecrust virtual machine. The advantage of this combination is efficient privacy computation. In other words, it can verify transaction validity while not exposing transaction details.

More interestingly, there is an RWA empowerment direction. The biggest challenge of bringing traditional financial assets on-chain is compliance. Dusk integrates this issue into the protocol layer through automated compliance standards, allowing real-world assets to automatically meet regulatory requirements when entering Web3.

Considering the advancement of European regulatory frameworks like MiCA, this design is clearly well-positioned in terms of timing and location. If in the future a financial public chain that can both protect privacy and meet compliance requirements is truly needed, this approach is worth paying attention to.
