Many blockchain projects, after launching ecosystem funds, ultimately fall into the awkward situation of "spreading money widely without actual output." Dusk Foundation recently allocated 15 million $DUSK to support the ecosystem, but their approach is clearly different—they are not aimlessly casting nets everywhere, but instead focusing on two tracks: "Privacy DeFi" and "Regulatory-compliant Asset Tools."

Why do this? The idea is actually straightforward: rather than blindly pursuing impressive TVL numbers, it’s better to target and fill the missing links in the "Financial Privacy Infrastructure" landscape. Every funded project must be able to practically enhance the network’s real-world application value and attract users and asset inflows that meet the needs. This "targeted cultivation" approach, rather than "watering" indiscriminately, is more likely to incubate projects that can truly survive in the ecosystem and even give back to the network. Instead of gambling on luck, building a system is a better strategy—perhaps this is the proper way for ecosystem funds to operate.
