Many people habitually see privacy and compliance as two opposing ends — either choose full transparency and regulation or opt for secrecy and abandon compliance. But some projects are already exploring a third way.

Take Dusk as an example. The developers of this project seem to have found a certain balance point. They designed the Phoenix trading model and the intermediate protocol system to achieve something that appears contradictory — transaction details are kept confidential for ordinary users, while regulatory authorities can conduct audits after obtaining authorization. This design sounds ideal, but the underlying technical architecture can indeed support it.

This framework is particularly aligned with Europe’s latest approach to crypto asset regulation. For institutions managing large sums of money, legal risk is the biggest concern. Dusk has targeted this type of user from the very beginning — not retail investors, but large institutions with genuine compliance needs. The network itself supports transaction volumes in the trillions and provides a regulatory-friendly technical foundation.

From a technical perspective, the throughput after the mainnet launch is sufficient to handle concurrency in mainstream financial markets. More importantly, they are optimizing the efficiency of zero-knowledge proof generation, allowing ordinary computers to participate in verification, which directly enhances the network’s decentralization and resilience.

In terms of ecosystem development, the Dusk network is incubating various decentralized financial products. The key is that these products are not just on-chain games but truly connect to real-world income-generating financial instruments. As asset types within the ecosystem increase, the consumption of Dusk tokens will also rise, forming a value cycle driven by real business.

Overall, Dusk doesn’t care about short-term hype; it’s more about paving the way for the next era of digital finance. The more participants involved, the more active the ecosystem, and the more solid the value support for this underlying network. If you believe that compliance is an essential step toward industrializing blockchain, Dusk’s overall strategic layout will become particularly clear.
