Rather than constantly talking about RWA, RWA, why not look at a real-life example.

Imagine an old-established bakery chain in Amsterdam that has been around for fifty years, with people queuing daily to buy bread. The owner now wants to expand and open new stores, but bank loans have sky-high interest rates, and they don’t qualify for listing on Nasdaq. In the past, this business would have been stuck.

But today, there’s another way. The bakery found NPEX, which helped them do something on the Dusk chain — issuing shares.

It sounds simple, but what has actually changed?

**Issuance Process**: The bakery’s equity is tokenized into tokens running on DuskEVM. No need to go to Wall Street, no need to wait for lengthy approval from financial institutions, making fundraising highly efficient.

**Compliance Assurance**: You, as an investor, want to buy these shares? No problem, but you must first pass KYC verification at the protocol layer. This isn’t an optional step; it’s a mandatory requirement. And Dusk’s ZK technology is interesting — only you and the regulators know how many bakery tokens you hold, others cannot see. Privacy and compliance are not mutually exclusive here.

**Dividend Mechanism**: When the bakery makes a profit at the end of the month, dividends are automatically executed by smart contracts and sent directly to your wallet in USDC or DUSK. No need to chase anyone for payouts.

This is what Dusk truly aims to do. It’s not about creating a bunch of worthless tokens, but about opening a new financing channel for small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe that have real businesses, real cash flow, and real profits.

When these assets are on-chain, the tokens you hold are actually connected to real economic activity. Compared to projects that only talk big but do nothing, this is much more reliable.
