RWA grows from a $6.6 billion market in 2024 to $10 trillion by 2030. How many projects are just messing around in this wave, and how few truly understand the pain points of institutional players? Frankly, the two biggest concerns for traditional finance entering Web3 are: first, data privacy cannot be protected; second, compliance frameworks lag behind. Not many projects have both aspects covered.

Dusk Network, as a Layer1 blockchain, is taking this differentiated approach. Their core strategy is to combine zero-knowledge proof technology with compliance requirements, building an ecosystem that is "privacy auditable and transactions can be regulated." The self-developed Piecrust ZKP virtual machine is key—this breaks the opposition between privacy and compliance, allowing institutions to trade efficiently on-chain without worrying about core business data leaks, while also passing KYC/AML checks.

More practically, the Citadel protocol and Shelter off-chain KYC solutions enable users to selectively disclose identity information, ensuring data security while completing regulatory reviews. This "minimal disclosure" mode is designed to address the real concerns of financial institutions.

On the technical side, Dusk adopts a modular design combined with a hybrid consensus mechanism, meeting the high throughput and low latency requirements of financial scenarios, while enhancing network flexibility through solutions like Moonlight. Ultimately, a bridge connecting traditional finance and Web3 truly needs this kind of technical foundation.

Privacy and compliance can be managed together, which is quite a good idea. Dusk's approach really hits the point. Speaking of zero-knowledge proofs, is this really the key for traditional finance to enter? It still depends on implementation. The trillion-dollar pie, there are so many ways to divide it, but who can really get a bite is uncertain. Piecrust virtual machine sounds impressive, but will users buy into it? That's the real key. Regarding compliance frameworks, rather than trying to do it ourselves, isn't it better to wait until regulations are clearer? Projects that can meet both privacy and auditing requirements are indeed rare, but rarity doesn't necessarily mean success. Minimized disclosure sounds comfortable, but in practice, could it turn into "maximized concealment"? Modular design is now so common; having good technology doesn't mean the market will accept it. Throughput and latency improvements are possible, but what about the costs? That's what institutions really care about. Still feels like that old saying: take your time, don't rush to go all in.

RWA this wave is indeed a big deal, but Dusk's combination of privacy + compliance feels like it's genuinely solving problems, not just making up stories. I need to do some more research on zero-knowledge proofs; it's a bit brain-burning.

RWA this wave is indeed prone to being overhyped, but Dusk's combination of privacy + compliance really hits the pain point --- Honestly, the path of zero-knowledge proofs + regulatory oversight used to seem like a pseudo-proposition, but now someone finally dares to tackle it --- The biggest fear for institutions is data leakage. Dusk's Piecrust virtual machine idea is good; now it's just a matter of whether it can keep up with actual implementation --- Selective disclosure of identity information? Sounds simple, but for financial institutions, this is a just-in-time necessity --- The 10 trillion dollar cake, projects that truly understand the needs of financial institutions are indeed scarce. Dusk has probably found the right direction --- Hybrid consensus + modularity, this tech stack really doesn't look like a pointless experiment --- Are compliance and privacy really mutually exclusive? I always thought these two couldn't be satisfied simultaneously --- Citadel protocol, Shelter scheme—just the names sound reassuring, but whether they can succeed depends on user adoption rates
