There were indeed many chaotic phenomena in the early stages of DeFi. Many projects, under the guise of innovation, actually operate in the gray area of regulation, exposing participants to significant risks. But this situation is changing.

New public chains like Dusk incorporate compliance genes from the ground up. Lending protocols and trading platforms built on this chain are inherently capable of identity verification and anti-money laundering operations. This is not a constraint on innovation; rather, it provides a safeguard for innovation.

More importantly, this model breaks an old misconception—many people think that DeFi must either grow wildly or be constrained by regulations. In fact, compliance and innovation can coexist. Investors no longer need to worry about safety versus participation, allowing for more confident involvement. This is highly significant for the entire industry, indicating that DeFi is gradually moving from a niche experimental field into a broader compliant market, greatly increasing the potential to serve both ordinary users and institutions.

The idea of compliance and innovation sounds good, but the real question is who will define the boundaries of compliance. How far Dusk can go depends on how regulators play their cards. DeFi was originally created to escape that system, and now it's being pulled back— isn't that a compromise?

Can compliant DeFi really work? I'm a bit skeptical, I feel like something's off. Dusk sounds good, but it still depends on what actual results the project delivers. This wave is indeed the right direction, but whether it can be implemented is really hard to say. Early DeFi was chaotic, and now everyone wants regulation—it's just a matter of how not to get cut. Compliance + innovation coexist? Feels like just a pie in the sky; let's wait and see what happens next.

Oh wow, well said. Three years ago, I was still arguing with people about whether DeFi could work, and now I finally see the dawn. The early days were indeed chaotic, I can vouch for that with my wallet, haha. I think the Dusk approach is correct; compliance doesn't mean rigidity, but rather a passport that encourages more people to participate. Institutional players have been waiting for this—they're not unwilling to play DeFi, they're just afraid of being investigated. Now, with identity verification in place, they can sleep peacefully. But to be fair, transitioning from a niche experimental field to the mainstream market takes time. I estimate we still need another three to five years to truly reap the benefits of this wave. But at least the direction is right—this is a substantial change, unlike the pure gambling of the past.

The coexistence of compliance and innovation is something I've heard too many times, but few have actually achieved it. Dusk's recent move is somewhat interesting, but we’ll have to wait and see if it can really sustain itself. --- The chaos in early DeFi was indeed outrageous. Now, some projects want to follow a regulated path, and I have to give them credit. The only concern is whether they can deliver what they promise. --- Stop bragging; the key is to look at real data. Compliance and innovation sound great, but implementation is the hard truth. --- Finally, someone is starting to consider this from the bottom up. Before, it was all about wild growth followed by being shut down. This approach is definitely worth pondering. --- Do you believe in this? I, for one, still need to see real money. Will the cost of compliance directly wipe out the profits? --- For DeFi to enter the mainstream market, this issue must be addressed first. Dusk's direction is fine; it just depends on how long they can stick to it.

Compliance DeFi sounds good, but can it really be implemented? It still feels like just a superficial story.

Coexistence of compliance and innovation sounds good, but the key is how Dusk will implement it. --- Another "we are different" chain, let's wait and see. --- Finally, someone dares to say DeFi needs to grow up. It was about time. --- Sounds good, but can they really do a good job with anti-money laundering? Question mark. --- Moving from the gray area to the sunlight, this wave is indeed a trend. --- Writing compliance genes into the code, I like this idea, to avoid being messed with later. --- For ordinary users entering the market, it's a double-edged sword. The trouble will follow. --- For DeFi to truly go mainstream, it needs solutions that are thoughtful from the ground up. --- Believe it or not, I’ll wait a bit longer before I get off. --- Finally, a chain is starting to do things seriously.

Can compliance and innovation truly coexist? I remain skeptical. Let's see how far Dusk can go.
