Many people initially associate $DUSK with the "privacy track" when they first encounter it. To be honest, this classification is not entirely accurate.

Carefully examining the technical design and roadmap of Dusk Foundation, you will find an essential difference—it is not simply creating a privacy coin, but building a truly usable privacy public chain for traditional finance.

The two may seem similar, but the actual differences are significant.

Traditional privacy coins solve only one problem: preventing user transfer traceability. But Dusk has to handle much more complex issues—how to ensure privacy, compliance, and auditability simultaneously when financial assets operate on-chain? All three conditions are indispensable.

Think about the real financial world. Companies are not afraid of transparency; they fear "exposing everything." Transactions between companies, securities issuance, fund settlements—all must be disclosed to regulators but absolutely cannot be made public to everyone. Dusk’s zero-knowledge proof design is born precisely for this kind of "selective information disclosure."

Because of this, Dusk’s development pace has always been steady—focusing not on riding the trend but on continuously advancing in scenarios that truly require privacy protection, such as RWA, securities assets, and compliant finance.

From a broader perspective, the future influx into the crypto space will not only come from retail investors and developers. Banks, institutions, enterprises, and the entire traditional financial system will follow suit. But the reason these institutions choose to go on-chain is never "because the token price is rising fast," but rather "whether the system can really be used." Whoever can best solve this problem will win.
