randomly came across Dusk again While digging through some Old notes on RWAs. I had it on a watchlist years ago, forgot about it, and only recently took time to actually read what they’ve been building.
And the context feels very different now.
Back then markets were pure speculation. Today institutions are involved, regulations are tightening, and suddenly privacy isn’t optional — but full anonymity isn’t acceptable either. That tension is where Dusk quietly makes sense.
Dusk is a Layer-1 focused on confidential Smart contracts. The idea isn’t “hide everything,” but prove what matters (ownership, compliance, conditions) without exposing The rest. Their approach to programmable privacy feels built for regulated environments, not against them.
What grounded it for me was seeing real-world use: regulated entities tokenizing assets, not just testnets and slides. In an RWA narrative where TradFi is clearly experimenting, infrastructure that doesn’t scare regulators becomes part of the conversation.
Not expecting hype cycles here. More like slow, infrastructure-style progress.
Curious how others see privacy chains Evolving now that compliance is becoming a feature, not a bug.
