I used to think, like most people, that DUSK was moving too slowly in ecosystem development. But only after comparing its application launch cycle with the delivery timelines of traditional financial IT projects did I realize I was using the wrong standard for judgment.

A compliant DeFi protocol from zero to one takes about 18 months to officially launch. In traditional finance, this speed is already very fast—systems like Bloomberg and Murex often take years to complete iterations. However, the crypto market is accustomed to rapid iteration, and it’s easy to judge all projects by the "ever-changing" standard of DEXs.

DUSK is not competing to be faster than Uniswap, but rather to be more stable and compliant than traditional financial infrastructure. This "slowness" is fundamentally a sign of respect and responsibility towards the field it serves. In this context, what might seem like disadvantages actually become advantages.
