Many people misunderstand the sexiness of blockchain. In the eyes of true financial players, TPS is just a vanity metric; what really matters is "Finality"—once a transaction is confirmed, it can never be reversed.

Currently, Web3 is still proud of "6 block confirmations," but little do they know, for institutional investors handling massive funds, this is a joke. "Probabilistic security" is not just a technical term; for risk control departments, it’s a nightmare. That’s why Dusk Network’s underlying design caught my eye—it aims to break down the most stubborn T+2 settlement barrier in traditional finance.

You might not have thought about it: when you buy stocks, your money is actually frozen for a full two days until the settlement is complete. How big is the counterparty risk during these two days? What is the capital occupation cost? Dusk uses a combination of partitioned Byzantine protocols and simple proofs—two hardcore technologies—to do something extremely bold: achieve instant finality.

Sounds like black tech? Actually, the logic is straightforward. On Dusk Network, the validator committee typically verifies a block in just 15 seconds, and once verified, it’s final: no forks, no rollbacks, no endless confirmation waiting. Transactions are settled instantly—this is a dream for any compliant platform. The original two-day clearing process is compressed into 15 seconds. What’s released is not just time, but liquidity.

When transactions are legally settled within seconds, the risk associated with high-frequency trading clearing essentially disappears. This is the real ace of RWA—it's not just about putting asset documents on-chain, but about using technology to fundamentally transform backend settlement.

My judgment is: Dusk’s ultimate goal is not to become a faster general-purpose public chain, but to serve as a decentralized clearing hub. In an era of low interest rates and high inflation, capital efficiency determines everything. Whoever turns T+2 into T+0 will control the lifeblood of institutional funds. Dusk holds this key and is already standing at the gate of traditional finance.
