In an era where many public chain projects chase short-term hype, some projects are quietly solidifying their foundations. DUSK is one such entity.

On the surface, its visibility may not be as high as some star projects. But a deeper look reveals that the project's ambitions go far beyond that. DUSK positions itself as the infrastructure connecting traditional finance and the on-chain world—in other words, institutions like banks, brokerages, and compliant exchanges can issue assets, settle transactions, and operate fully within its network while ensuring regulatory compliance.

This sounds grand, but implementation details are equally crucial. DUSK's native token currently serves two main functions: paying for network fees and covering smart contract deployment costs. In the future, it will also expand to include governance rights within the ecosystem. From a certain perspective, the true value of the token lies not in speculative hype but in its direct linkage to the amount of real assets circulating within the ecosystem.

Recent developments are even more noteworthy— the project is continuously iterating on frameworks for on-chain real-world assets and advancing practical testing of compliant trading modules. All these point in the same direction: moving from proof of concept to commercially viable, scalable products.

If you agree that future financial assets will inevitably migrate onto the chain, then DUSK's potential in institutional-grade applications becomes obvious. It’s not gambling on short-term market movements but building a truly usable financial infrastructure.
