There is a question that has always been worth pondering: What is the ultimate goal of the DUSK project?

Setting aside technical details and the product roadmap, what kind of ecosystem does it want to build in the industry? This directly relates to how far the project can go.

DUSK's ambitions are actually very large — aiming to become a compliant privacy settlement layer for the global value internet. In other words, a "confidential financial infrastructure" that spans the globe. On this network, not only tokenized stocks and bonds can circulate, but also highly sensitive digital assets like intellectual property rights, data usage rights, and carbon credits can be exchanged securely, transparently, and privately. Any value transfer that requires privacy protection and auditability can operate on this platform.

Thinking even deeper, this could give rise to entirely new financial markets. For example, fully confidential on-chain government bond auctions, on-chain banks that can prove reserve funds in real-time without revealing customer privacy, and even cross-border supply chain finance networks with automatic compliance enforcement between multinational companies. These markets would not only be far more efficient than current ones but also protect the commercial secrets of all parties involved.

Sounds a bit crazy, right? But to achieve this goal, the DUSK network must reach extremely high levels of security, stability, and cross-chain interoperability, and it must also earn the trust of global regulators. This is indeed a "moon landing" level challenge.

Interestingly, it is precisely because of this clear ultimate vision that every current technical decision and business collaboration can be guided. For long-term holders, understanding this vision allows them to stay steadfast amid price fluctuations and see the true significance of each step DUSK takes.
