What are most Layer 1 public chains competing for nowadays? It’s nothing more than transaction throughput and the number of ecosystem projects. But if you broaden your perspective, you'll find that some chains are taking a completely different path.

Take Dusk as an example. Its entire design logic is not about competing in performance metrics; instead, it’s more like building a financial operating system—what’s the difference?

Most projects start with DeFi and are later forced to consider compliance. Dusk, on the other hand, places compliance as a top priority from the very beginning, then builds various financial modules on that foundation. What does this mean? It means it’s not just a testing ground for retail investors but is designed from the start to prepare for institutional-grade assets.

It may seem a bit niche, but when RWA and security-type assets truly go on-chain at scale, you’ll realize—only a few chains can be "used directly" from the outset. Dusk was built specifically for that stage.

The selling points are good, but can the compliance framework really convince institutions? It still seems to depend on actual implementation.

Hey, that's not right. The smarter approach is to start with compliance and lay the groundwork. Institutional assets will have to wait for chains like this.

Hmm... Putting compliance first? This approach is indeed unique, but I have to say, most institutions haven't figured out how to play yet. Let's not get too optimistic. It's not that I don't believe, but no one can predict how long it will take for RWA to truly take off. By then, whether Dusk will still be around is anyone's guess.

Haha, the tactic of prioritizing compliance is indeed rare. Most chains grow wildly first and then catch up later. The day institutional assets go on-chain is truly coming. Chains like Dusk, which have been thinking ahead from the start, definitely have an advantage. But to be honest, even now, when someone says a chain is "ready to use directly," we have to raise a question.

Hey, this approach is indeed different. Compliance-first chains are indeed niche, but on the other hand, will institutions really buy into it?

Compliance first is indeed a solid approach. Most chains are busy racing for territory, while Dusk is focusing on foundational infrastructure. Once RWA truly takes off, things will be a bit different.
