Someone asked me whether Dusk will challenge Ethereum's dominance. My view is that these two projects are fundamentally on different paths.

Ethereum has long proven itself—a general-purpose computing platform, explosive growth of ecosystem applications, and a mature DeFi market. But its core design focuses more on versatility; not every use case can be optimized to the extreme.

Dusk, on the other hand, follows a different approach. From the very first line of code, it is tailored for financial scenarios. Compliance trading, privacy protection, regulatory access—these features are deeply integrated into the protocol layer. In simple terms, it is a professional tool for the financial sector.

The key point is—Dusk is not targeting the already highly competitive DeFi space. Its goal is to bring traditional assets onto the blockchain—real estate, bonds, equity—things that have not yet been widely tokenized. This is a brand new track, potentially several times larger than current DeFi.

So rather than Dusk aiming to replace Ethereum, it’s more about market segmentation. The market is big enough for both to specialize and excel in their respective areas—that’s the healthy ecosystem of Web3.
